Roulette inside bets: placement and payouts

Inside bets select small groups on the numbered layout. A chip's position tells the dealer which group you mean. Moving it from the center of a box onto a shared line can turn a single-number wager into a split.

Match position to coverage

A split can follow a horizontal or vertical edge. Diagonal contact alone does not form a conventional split. Rotating a screen changes where the grid appears, rather than which numbered boxes share edges.

Settle a four-chip corner

Place 4 chips on 16/17/19/20. If 17 lands, the wager wins 32 chips of profit and returns the original 4, giving 36 returned. If 18 lands, all 4 lose despite that number being visually close. Exact membership decides the result.

On a fair single-zero wheel, this corner wins on 4/37 outcomes, about 10.81%. A four-chip straight-up wager wins on 1/37, but pays 140 chips of profit when it hits. The different hit rates and payments produce different session paths. Both use the ordinary house edge under standard payouts.

Treat zero placements separately

Some tables provide special first-four or first-five groups near zero. A standard European first four covers 0, 1, 2 and 3 at 8 to 1. The American first five covers 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3 at 6 to 1. Its expected return differs from an ordinary four-number corner. Read the zero-area guide before assuming a green-area placement follows the numbered grid.

Start with one position and confirm the highlighted numbers. Add a second once you can account for every winning and losing stake. The bet builder combines inside and outside wagers and separates coverage from total stake. Clear the example layout before placing your wagers. Open More bets to add splits, streets, corners and six lines. The payout reference shows profit and total return. Compare outside bets for larger groups.
