An Easy Approach to Advanced European Roulette Wagers

European roulette is one of those games that new players can learn enough about to play without much difficulty. However, most players stop enjoying it because they feel like the easy bets are too simple and the more complicated bets are too difficult to learn. The fact of the matter is that there’s an easy approach that you can use to learn everything there is to know about any specific European roulette wager, and we’re going to show you exactly how to do it. Take advantage of this approach to get more in-depth with your play.

The starting point for this approach is to be able to tell the payout for any wager just by looking at it. Instead of trying to memorize all of the dozens of available bets, you can use a shortcut instead. Start with the number 36, and divide that by the number of spots that your wager is going to be betting on. Subtract one from the result, and you have the payout rate of the bet in question. Do this with a few examples that we’re going to go over here, and you’ll never have to worry about remembering the payout for any European roulette wager again.

For example, what if you have a row bet. A row bet is when you place your chips on the outside edge to wager on three numbers in a physical row like 1-2-3 or 10-11-12 or 25-26-27. You’re wagering on three spots, so you’ll do 36/3 and subtract 1 to get 11. That means a row bet payout is 11:1 or 11x, whichever way you want to think about it. This is a simple example, but all of the bets in this game turn into simple examples when you use this approach. That’s the power of this shortcut.

Let’s look at another example. What about a corner bet? A corner bet is a wager on four different numbers that come together at the same point to form a corner. Since it’s on four spots, you’ll do 36/4 and subtract 1 to get 8 which tells you that the payout is 8x or 8:1. A wager of $10 will profit $80 when you win with a corner bet. European roulette all centers around knowing the payouts by using this method, and it’s simple enough that you can learn it once and always remember it when you need it.
