**Inner and Outer Betting Strategies in Roulette**

1. **Practice on Free Tables Before Placing Bets:** Before actual betting, practice on free roulette tables. Check if the casino offers free tables, try a home roulette set, or explore online options to get a feel for the game. Below, we'll introduce you to various roulette bets. Roulette tables typically have a three-column grid listing 36 numbers where you can place different bets. Bets primarily fall into two categories: [1]

   - **Inner Bets:** These are bets placed on specific numbers on the table. If you bet $1 on a number, and the ball lands on that number, you win a payout of 35:1, which includes your original $1 bet. You can also place a bet on up to six adjacent numbers simultaneously.

   - **Outer Bets:** These are lower-risk bets, such as even/odd or red/black, but they offer lower payouts of 2:1 or 1:1. Outside the number grid, there are areas marked for various bet types, hence the term ""outer bets"" compared to the ""inner bets"" placed directly on numbers.

2. **Increase Winning Odds with Outer Bets:** Ensure each individual bet meets the table's minimum requirement, and consider placing multiple outer bets to enhance your chances of winning. For instance, betting $1 on even numbers and $1 on black, if the ball lands on black 10, you win a $2 payout; if it lands on red 16, you break even. In addition to 1:1 bets like odd/even and red/black, outer bets include: [2]

   - **High/Low:** Bet on whether the ball will land on numbers 1-18 or 19-36; payout is 1:1.
   - **Dozens:** Bet on the ball landing in the first 12, second 12, or third 12 numbers; payout is 2:1.
   - **Columns:** Bet on the ball landing in one of the three columns of numbers; payout is 2:1.

3. **Moderate Inner Bets for Larger Payouts:** While inner bets offer higher payouts, betting on a single number carries risks. For European roulette, the chance of the ball landing on your chosen number is 1/37 (2.7%), and for American roulette, it's 1/38 (2.63%). Instead of betting on a single number, consider betting on multiple numbers to increase your chances. [3] The more numbers you bet on, the lower the payout. A straight bet (1 number) has odds of 35:1, while a six-number bet has odds of 5:1. For combination bets, they must be adjacent in the 12 rows on the roulette wheel, except for four-number combinations, where you bet on the intersection between four numbers.

4. **Observe the Wheel and Player Bets for Trends:** Watch the wheel, pay attention to player bets, and look for patterns. Observe the croupier or casino staff as they spin the wheel and release the ball. Take note of the ball's rotation on the wheel and study others' bets. [4] If players are allowed to spin the wheel, try it yourself to feel the rotation speed.

   - *Tip:* Repeated ball landings on certain numbers or areas may be coincidental, but if the ball consistently lands on the opposite side of its release point, the wheel might be manipulated or tilted.
