Common questions about roulette payouts
Payouts are expressed as "X to 1" meaning you win X times your bet AND get your original bet back. If you bet $10 on red and win, you get $10 (1:1 payout) plus your original $10 = $20 total. A $10 straight up win pays $350 plus original $10 = $360.
Payouts are based on the number of winning outcomes. With 18 winning numbers (red/black), you win often but get 1:1. With 1 winning number (straight), you rarely win but get 35:1. The payout approximately reflects the odds, minus the house edge.
No, payouts are identical. A straight up pays 35:1 on both. The difference is in probability: you win 1/37 on European vs 1/38 on American. Same payout, lower probability = higher house edge on American.
"Best" depends on your goal. Straight up (35:1) has the highest payout but lowest probability. Even-money bets (1:1) have the highest probability but lowest payout. All bets have the same expected value relative to the house edge.
