Complete guide to betting on the spinning wheel at ba999 Roulette
From European to live dealer tables — every roulette bet type, payout and strategy is explained here in plain English.
How a round works
A roulette table has a large wheel with numbers 1 to 36 and one or two zeros (0 or 00) arranged in red, green and black slots. Each round begins when the betting window opens — the dealer or RNG system announces that betting has started.
Players place chips on the table to bet on their chosen numbers, colours or groups. When the betting time ends, the dealer spins the wheel and releases a small ball in the opposite direction. When the wheel stops, the slot the ball lands in determines the winning number and colour. Players whose bets match the result receive a payout; all other bets are lost. After that, chips can be placed again for the next round.
In the digital version, an RNG (Random Number Generator) handles the entire process — from spinning the wheel to announcing the result — automatically, and each spin is completely independent.
What each bet pays out
Roulette has two categories of bets — inside bets (on specific numbers in the inner part of the table) and outside bets (on larger groups). Inside bets have a lower chance of winning but higher payouts; outside bets have a higher chance of winning but lower payouts.
Inside Bets
Straight Up
A chip is placed on a single number. A win pays 35 times the bet.
Payout 35:1Split
A chip placed on the line between two adjacent numbers. If either number wins, the payout is 17 times the bet.
Payout 17:1Street
A bet covering three numbers in a row. If any one of them wins, the payout is 11 times the bet.
Payout 11:1Corner
A chip placed at the corner where four numbers meet. If any one of them wins, the payout is 8 times the bet.
Payout 8:1Six Line
A bet covering six numbers across two adjacent rows. A win pays 5 times the bet.
Payout 5:1Outside Bets
Red / Black
A bet predicting whether the ball will land on a red or black slot. A win pays even money.
Payout 1:1Odd / Even
A bet on whether the result will be an odd or even number. The payout is even money, i.e. 1:1.
Payout 1:1Dozen / Column
A bet on 1–12, 13–24, or 25–36. Or on any one of the three columns. Payout is 2:1.
Payout 2:1Where the casino's mathematical advantage comes from
The numbers on a roulette wheel run from 1 to 36 — but the zero (0) slot is where the casino's advantage lies. European Roulette has only one zero, giving a house edge of around 2.7%. American Roulette has two zeros (0 and 00), which raises the house edge to around 5.4%.
Simply put, over the long run, for every ৳1,000 wagered on the European version, on average around ৳27 goes to the casino. This is not a trick — it is a built-in part of the game's mathematics. That is why experienced players always choose European Roulette: a lower house edge means a better chance of a return on bets.
Some live tables apply the "La Partage" rule — if the ball lands on zero, half of even-money bets are returned, which reduces the effective house edge further. ba999 Casino offers various types of roulette tables.
Practical strategies for beginners
There is no guaranteed way to win at roulette, but certain approaches make bankroll management easier and help extend play sessions.
Choose a European table
A single-zero wheel has a lower house edge — this is more favourable over the long run. American tables have two zeros, which nearly doubles the casino's advantage.
Set your betting limit beforehand
Decide how much you are willing to spend in each session before you start. Stop when you reach that limit — chasing losses to recover them usually leads to even greater losses.
Start with outside bets
Red/Black or Odd/Even bets win close to half the time. For new players, this is the best way to get a feel for the game, as the pressure is lower and sessions last longer.
Be aware of the Martingale system
Many players double their bet after every loss. While this approach may seem to work, there is a risk of large losses when the table limit or bankroll runs out. Try this method only after you have a solid understanding of the game's rules.
Use free demo mode first
ba999 offers a demo mode for digital roulette. Practising in demo mode before placing real money helps you understand bet types hands-on.
The difference between live dealer and digital roulette
Live Dealer Roulette
A real dealer broadcasts live from a studio or casino floor. You can watch the wheel spin and the ball drop on video.
- A real experience — a real wheel, a real ball
- Option to chat with the dealer
- Table limits are generally higher
- Internet connection quality matters
- Tables from multiple studios including Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live
Digital (RNG) Roulette
A software algorithm determines the result of every spin. A 3D animation of the wheel is shown.
- Faster gameplay — each round takes only a few seconds
- Option to practise for free in demo mode
- Works well even on lower bandwidth
- Table limits may be comparatively lower
- No human element in the results
In the live roulette section of ba999 Casino, you will find tables from multiple studios — from low-limit tables for new players to separate tables for high rollers.
Players looking for a mix of slots and roulette can visit the Slots section on the same platform to play their preferred games. Every game is accessible from the same account and balance.
How much you can bet at each table
Roulette tables generally have two set limits — a minimum bet and a maximum bet. These limits differ from table to table.
Low-limit tables are ideal for beginners, as they allow learning the game with smaller bets. Experienced players typically play at mid-limit tables. High roller tables have much higher bet ceilings, so players with larger bankrolls head there.
Inside and outside bet limits may differ — usually the total amount that can be bet on inside bets in a single spin is kept lower than for outside bets. All limits are clearly displayed on the table information board; it is worth checking before you play.
As part of responsible gaming, ba999 advises in its Responsible Gaming guidelines not to bet beyond your means and to use table limits as a helpful guide for setting your own betting boundaries.
