The payout for a straight-up bet in roulette, where a player wagers on a single number, is 35 to 1. This means that if the ball lands on the chosen number, the player receives 35 times their original bet in winnings, plus the return of their initial wager. This high payout reflects the lower probability of winning on a single number, making straight-up bets one of the highest-risk options in roulette.

Exactly! Straight-up bets offer one of the highest payouts in roulette due to the low probability of winning on a single number. The 35 to 1 payout means that if you bet, for example, $1 on a specific number and it hits, you would receive $35 in winnings plus your original $1 bet back. This high payout is what makes straight-up bets so appealing to some players, despite the lower chances of winning compared to other types of bets on the roulette table. It's this balance between risk and reward that adds to the excitement and thrill of playing roulette.
