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)

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.Quote: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.

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".)

Wrong.
INSIDE bets can be combined to achieve the table minimum.
OUTSIDE bets must each be the minimum.

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.Quote: kubikulannMost roulette tables have a different minimum for inside and outside bets.

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.

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).

If we all agree with each other and not with you, perhaps it's the former?:-P

Can you bet only the inside or only the outside or do you have to bet both?

You do not have to bet both. Each outside bet must be at least the minimum ($5 in our example on the previous page). If you chose to play the inside also/instead, the sum of the inside bets must be >$5. Different casinos have different betting increments for the inside bets, but $1 is pretty common. So, you'd have to put at least five $1 chips in play on the inside bets.

Well, what you meant is correct. It is that the sum of the inside bets must be equal to or greater than the table minimum. (you used the symbol for greater than). So yes. 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 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.Quote: rdw4potusYou do not have to bet both.

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. 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.

In Europe the posted minimums are slightly different.
$5 would be the amount that had to be placed on an outside bet.
$1 is the minimum bet on a inside number. You could just bet $1 on 1 number should you so desire. The bets do not have to add up to the posted outside total. minimum bet.

Quite simply yes; you could place $1 on the 1-6 six line and $1 on the 7-12 six line and you are essentially getting the same bet as $2 on the dozen. So yes, you can avoid the posted dozen minimum by placing the bets on the six lines as you describe. As you say you could also play the first three six lines with $1 each and it would be the same as $3 on low numbers, again a way to get around the outside chance minimum should you wish to do so.
