About minimum and maximum bet at roulette

| kubikulann Member since: Jun 28, 2011 Threads: 2 Posts: 6 | Hello, Most roulette tables have a different minimum for inside and outside bets. For example, $1 and $5. But betting $1 on two 6-Lines is equivalent to betting a dozen, isn't it? So the actual minimum for a 2-to-1 bet is $2, not $5. (For even bets, it is $3) |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5727 | I've never seen different minimum numbers. What I see is that the inside bets, when combined, must meet the table minimum, while the outside bets must each be the minimum. Therefore, if the table minimum is $5, all of your inside bets, whether straight-up or combination or whatever, must add up to $5 or more. Outside bets must each be at least $5. The $1 you refer to is the betting unit. I.E. You can't bet 50¢ or even $2.50. On the flip side, I've seen RapidRoulette where it had 25¢ betting units. But it had minimums of $2.50. Inside, I could bet 25¢ ten times, but outside, it had to be at least $2.50. That still looks like $2 to me, so it's below the minimum. Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.
But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

| kubikulann Member since: Jun 28, 2011 Threads: 2 Posts: 6 | Right. I have to bet on the whole an amount of $5 minimum. But that specific bet can be done with $2. For example, if I want to bet on an even AND on a dozen, I don't have to bet $5+$5 = 10. I can spend $3+$2, thus reaching the minimum of 5. Right? (Of course, it wont be "red", "odd" or a "column". But it can be "1-12" or "1-18".) |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5727 | Wrong. INSIDE bets can be combined to achieve the table minimum. OUTSIDE bets must each be the minimum. Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.

| FleaStiff Member since: Oct 19, 2009 Threads: 75 Posts: 4827 | No, most tables where I've played have the same amount as a minimum bet, its just that some bets can be worth less than that minimum as long as all your inside bets total to the minimum. So you can not add Inside Bets and Outside bets together to meet a minimum bet, but you can add separate Inside Bets together to make the table minimum. |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5727 | Note that Red, Black, Odd, Even, 1-18, 19-36 pay 1:1. The three Dozens and three Columns pay 2:1. They they are all outside bets. Every bet in any of these boxes must meet the table minimum. All the rest of the stuff are inside bets. They must add up to the minimum. Having an outside bet at the minimum does not allow you to bet below the inside minimum. Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.

This IS what I tell. Example: Bet 1 unit each on 6-Lines "1-6" "7-12" "19-24" "25-30" and "31-36" all INSIDE, combining to 5 units, is equivalent to betting 3 units on even bet "19-36" and 2 units on 2/3 bet "1-12". While if I had wanted to do it OUTSIDE, I would have had to bet 5 units on each. |

The "19-36" bet is an OUTSIDE bet. It has to be a bet of at least $5 (or whatever the minimum is). "So as the clock ticked and the day passed, opportunity met preparation, and luck happened." - Maurice Clarett |
