3: Three Number Bet
You are getting the hang of it, but remember that this is best when you start building up your bankroll. (11:1)
12: Twelve Number Bet
Typically a column bet, or can be the Dozens bet. (2:1)
5: Six Number Bet (line)
Six of one, a half a dozen of another. No matter how you slice it, six are better than one, at least when it comes to increasing Roulette your odds of winning. (5:1)
2: Two Number Bet (split)
Take your favorite number or your intuition number, and place a single bet that covers that number and the adjacent number. Then hope one of them hits. (17:1)
18: Eighteen Number Bet
All one color bet black/red, odds/even, or high/low number bets. (1:1)
4: Four Number Bet
Increasing your odds decreases the payout, which only stands to reason. (8:1)
1: Individual numbers (straight up)
Say you have a feeling the next number rolled is 23, so you place a bet on 23. Maybe your favorite number is your birthday and you choose that number. If it hits, you win. (35:1)
