In Roulette, there are two main types of bets: inside and outside. Inside bets involve wagering on specific numbers or small groups, offering higher payouts but with lower odds of winning. Examples include straight-up bets on a single number and split bets on two adjacent numbers. Outside bets cover larger groups or characteristics, such as colors or odd/even outcomes, providing better odds of winning but smaller payouts. These options allow players to manage their risk and reward while playing.
 
In addition to inside and outside bets in Roulette, there are different subcategories that players can explore:

1. **Inside Bets**:
- **Straight-Up Bet**: Betting on a single number. Pays out 35:1.
- **Split Bet**: Placing a bet on the line between two adjacent numbers. Pays out 17:1.
- **Street Bet (or Line Bet)**: Betting on a row of three numbers. Pays out 11:1.
- **Corner Bet (or Square Bet)**: Wagering on a block of four numbers. Pays out 8:1.
- **Six-Line Bet**: Betting on two adjacent rows of numbers. Pays out 5:1.

2. **Outside Bets**:
- **Red or Black**: Wagering on the color of the winning number. Pays out 1:1.

3. **Special Bets**:

- **Tiers du Cylindre**: Wagering on a series of numbers opposite the zero on the wheel.

These different bet types offer a variety of options for players to strategize based on their risk tolerance and desired payout potential. Each type of bet comes with its own set of odds and payouts, allowing players to tailor their Roulette experience to their preferences.
