In the current article we are going to discuss how roulette bets are usually placed. First, a player needs to find a comfortable seat at the table. We stress on that matter, because if the player wants to reach all the parts of the betting layout, he/she will have to take one of the several particular seats at the table. The seats located at the center of the front of the roulette table as well as the last seat around the back side, next to the dealer, provide the best opportunity. In case, however, the crowd around the table is quite heavy, the player needs to look for the first seat, which has become available.

Once the game of roulette has begun, players choose their bets and place chips on the betting layout. In case a particular bet includes more than one chip, the chips are to be arranged in a single stack. In case some of the other players have already placed chips on a number you intend to bet, it will be no problem to stack your chips directly on top of the others.

Betting may continue during the early part of a live spin, but only until the dealer calls “no more bets” or the electronic betting window closes. There is no universal number of revolutions at which this happens.

Do not place, change or remove bets after betting closes. Betting after the outcome is known is called past posting and is prohibited; it is not acceptable even once. Follow the dealer’s instructions and wait for the next betting window.

Once the ball has found its way into one of the pockets, the dealer places a ”win marker” on the layout at the winning number. Unprofitable chips are swept off, while players who won get paid. After all the winners have received their payment, the marker is removed and the bets for the next ball spin are initiated.

Next, let us have a look at the main bet categories. Roulette bets are usually grouped into two categories – inside and outside bets.
