Can you explain how outside bets work in roulette?

Outside bets refer to wagers placed on groups of numbers rather than a single number. These include bets on columns, dozen ranges, even/odd numbers, and red/black colors. Outside bets typically have lower odds but also lower risks since more numbers fall under these bets. Playing double twos as an outside bet means betting on two numbers at once. If either two or twos is spun, the bet wins. But the odds are lower at 35 to 1 since there are more possible winning numbers compared to a single-number bet with odds of 37 to 1. Outside bets can hedge risk but come with lower payouts for players. Still, an occasional longshot win can make an outside bet with numbers like double twos pay off in a big way.

Because they have a larger chance of success than inside bets, which involve placing wagers on certain numbers or small groups of numbers, outside bets are preferred among roulette players. It's crucial to keep in mind that outer bets typically have lesser payouts due to the higher chance of success.

Certainly! In roulette, outside bets are wagers placed on the outer section of the betting layout. These bets generally offer higher odds of winning but with lower payouts compared to inside bets, which are placed on specific numbers or combinations of numbers.

Compared to inside bets, outside bets have a higher chance of winning because they cover a bigger area of the roulette wheel. For every spin, you have an almost 50% chance of winning if you bet on red or black, for instance.
