Outside Bet
Outside bets are placed on areas of the roulette table that cover larger sections, such as red or black, odd or even, high or low, or groups of 12 numbers. These bets offer better odds of winning compared to inside bets but come with lower payouts.
How to Make an Outside Bet?
To place an outside bet in an online casino, you need to place your chips in one of the designated boxes around the perimeter of the number grid. These include areas like Red/Black, Even/Odd, or the Column and Dozen bets. Using a strategy when placing outside bets can help manage risk and potentially increase your chances of consistent wins over time.
How Does the Outside Bet Work?
Outside bets are typically safer because they cover a larger portion of the roulette wheel. The odds are close to 50/50 for bets like Red/Black or Odd/Even, and the payout is usually 1:1. Larger group bets like Column or Dozen offer 2:1 payouts.
Advantages of an Outside Bet
- Higher chances of winning.
- Easy to understand and suitable for beginners.
Disadvantages of an Outside Bet
- Lower payouts than inside bets.
- Doesn’t cover specific numbers.
An Example of the Outside Bet in Action
If you place a bet on "Red," you win if the ball lands on any red number. Alternatively, placing a bet on the third column (covering numbers like 3, 6, 9, 12, etc.) is an outside bet that pays 2:1.
