Otherwise I'm an outside bettor even though I'm told that since they are all at 5.26percent I should go for the 35:1 payoffs since compared to other games, those payouts are cheap. I rarely make Inside Bets except when its a two bet for my companion and the dealer, then its a straight up or split bet. If he chooses to make an Outside bet (2:1 or 1:1) each and every one of his outside bets must be at least the table minimum which in our example is five dollars. If any of those numbers wins, your bet pays 11-1. Street: A street bet covers a row of three numbers, such as 13-14-15. If the ball lands on a number in your chosen range, you’ll win at 2-1 odds. Dozens: This bet can cover one of three sets of 12 numbers: 1-12, 13-24, or 25-36. If the table minimum is five dollars and a player chooses to make any inside bets then his inside bets must total atleast the table minimum. If either number wins, the bet pays 17-1. It is that the sum of the inside bets must be equal to or greater than the table minimum.
So, you'd have to put at least five $1 chips in play on the inside bets. Different casinos have different betting increments for the inside bets, but $1 is pretty common.
If you chose to play the inside also/instead, the sum of the inside bets must be >$5. Each outside bet must be at least the minimum ($5 in our example on the previous page).
