Like any game, roulette has its own set of special lingo. Knowing the terms is essential to being able to communicate is any roulette setting. Here are the important terms when it comes to betting.

One can tell whether the bet being made is inside or outside instantly if they know the lingo, here are some terms that instantly indicate in outside bet. Most outside bets give a near 50% chance of winning, like the “high” or “low” bets, they indicate whether you are betting on numbers 1-18 or 19-36.

“Black” or “red” are also roughly 50% bets, if you are betting “black” than you are betting that the ball will land on a black space, if you are betting “red” than you are betting that the ball will land on a red space. There is only one more bet that offer nearly 50/50 odds, and those are the bets “even” and the bet “odd”, “even” is when you bet the ball will land on an even number, and “odd” means that you bet the ball will land on an odd number.

The slang for many inside bets aren’t as simple and straight forward as the names of outside bets are.” One of riskiest bets you can make is called the “single” it is the bet of a single number, so if you wanted to bet on the number eight you would want a “single eight.” Since you are betting on a single number straight up these bets are also called “straight bets”. It is possible to bet on what is called a “square” or a “quarter” it means that if the ball lands on four numbers that are right next to each other you win. If you want to bet on something a little riskier than you can always bet on just two numbers that are next to each other, this is called the “split bet”

Those are just some examples of the terms people use when it comes to roulette, however playing online roulette simplifies to whole process since you don’t have to deal with memorizing all of the lingo.
