There are a few different types of line bets available on roulette. The simplest is the straight bet, in which the player wagers on any number between 1 and 36. If the number is odd, the player loses their bet; if it’s even, they win.
There are also place bets, in which the player bets on a specific number or numbers at a given position on the wheel. Finally, there are bonus bets, which offer additional payout if certain conditions are met (for example, hitting a specific number in a row).
What Is a Line Bet on Roulette?
A line bet is simply a wager that involves placing money on either side of a certain number (the ‘line’). For example, one might place $10 on line 17 at roulette table.
If 17 comes up as an odd number, the bettor would lose their $10 – their money would go into the pot along with any other players who wagered on that particular number. If 17 comes up as an even number, the bettor would win their $10 back plus whatever else was wagered on that number.
There are a few different types of line bets available on roulette: straight, place and bonus bets. Straight bets involve wagering on any number between 1 and 36 – if the number comes up as an odd number (meaning it would pay out less money than if it were even), the bettor loses their bet; if it comes up as an even number (meaning it would pay out more money than if it were odd), they win.
Place bets involve betting on specific numbers at specific positions – for example, betting $10 that the 2nd ball will land anywhere but either black or red. Bonus bets offer additional payout if certain conditions are met – for example, betting $10 that the next ball will be either black or red after two consecutive balls have landed in either direction.
