What does "manque" imply in roulette?

[Julio88]

In the game of roulette, "manque" refers to a bet on the group of numbers ranging from 1 to 18. This bet has an even payout, meaning that if you bet $1 and win, you will receive a $1 payout in addition to your original bet. The opposite of "manque" is "passe," which refers to a bet on the group of numbers ranging from 19 to 36. These bets are among the most popular and basic bets in the game of roulette, to be quite honest.

Correct! When you place a bet on "manque," you are essentially betting that the ball will land on a number between 1 and 18. As you mentioned, this bet has an even payout, which means that you will win an amount equal to your original bet if your bet is successful. It's worth noting that the term "manque" is derived from the French word for "missing," which refers to the fact that the ball may miss the higher numbers and land on a lower one instead.

Similarly, the opposite of "manque" is "passe," which means "pass" in French. This bet covers the group of numbers from 19 to 36 and also has an even payout. These two bets are known as the outside bets, as they cover a large group of numbers on the roulette table. They are also considered to be among the safer bets in the game, as they have a nearly 50/50 chance of being successful.

Manque in roulette refers to missing - so if the ball lands in the manque pocket, it means the number didn't come up. Bummer, but that's the luck of the draw! The wheel will spin again next time. Keep your head up and maybe luck will strike for ya next round. Always hoping for that big win, am I right?! But really, the thrill of the game is half the fun. Happy spinning!
