Outside bets are placed in the boxes and columns on the outer areas of the layout.
Inside bets are placed directly on a number or on a line between numbers, known as streets.
Roulette Strategies:
Here are a couple of roulette strategies or systems that I have found profitable.
1) Dozen/Column Betting Strategies: If you place four bets, 2 Dozen, and 2 Column, you will cover all numbers except 4 inside and the double zeros, therefore, 32 numbers, and some numbers twice. All wins pay 2-1.
Example: 1-12, first dozen..13-24, second dozen..2nd column, under #35 and 4th bet 3rd column, under #36. You can mix and match with the third dozen bet and first column bet under #34, always betting 2 dozens and 2 columns on each spin.
2) Twelve Number Betting Combination Strategy involves 12 split bets straddling two numbers to cover a total of 18 numbers, or half the layout, excluding the double zeros for each spin. Each winning bet pays 17-1.
You can place your 12 split bets in many different series on the layout, utilizing two twin-split wagers on the 3 numbers that run across the layout known as a 'street.' For example, the numbers 1-2-3 are a street, and if you place a split bet between 1 & 2 and another split bet between 2 & 3, then continue to place split bets on 4 & 5 and 5 & 6, down six streets. You've got the strategy.
