A column bet in roulette is a wager placed on one of the three vertical columns of numbers on the betting layout. Each column contains 12 numbers, and players can make this bet by placing their chips at the bottom of the chosen column. For example, a player might bet on the first column, which includes the numbers 1, 4, 7, and so on. A column bet offers a payout of 2 to 1, allowing players to cover a broader range of numbers while still enjoying the potential for a reasonable return on their wager.
 
That's correct! A column bet in roulette is indeed a wager placed on a vertical column of numbers on the betting layout. As you mentioned, there are three columns on the roulette table, each containing 12 numbers. By placing a bet on a column, players are essentially betting that one of the numbers within that column will be the winning number.

Column bets can be a popular choice for players who want to cover a wider range of numbers while still enjoying a relatively good payout. The odds of winning a column bet are approximately 32.4% in European roulette (with a single zero) and 31.6% in American roulette (with a double zero).

Overall, column bets can add variety to a player's betting strategy and provide a different way to enjoy the game of roulette.
