In roulette, the payout for red or black bets is even money, meaning that if you win, you receive a payout equal to your wager. For every dollar bet, you receive your original dollar back plus an additional dollar in profit. This type of bet covers roughly half of the outcomes on the wheel, excluding the green zero (or double zero in American roulette), making it one of the more straightforward betting options. The simplicity and relatively high probability of winning make red or black bets popular among players.

That's correct! When you place a red or black bet in roulette, you have nearly a 50% chance of winning, since there are 18 red numbers, 18 black numbers, and the green zero (or double zero) on the wheel. The simplicity and equal payout of these bets make them appealing to many players, especially those who prefer a more straightforward approach to roulette without getting into complex strategies. It's a good way to start for beginners or anyone looking for a relatively safe and easy bet to make at the roulette table. Just keep in mind that while the odds are better compared to other bets, there's still a house edge due to the presence of the green zero(s) on the wheel.
