In Roulette, are players allowed to bet on both black AND red, or odd AND even?

Question

For example, can the player bet two chips on black, and one on red?

Answer 1

roulette is the safest gambling

you can bet on a number and hope it hits stright up, or you could put on a color

Answer 2

But that 49% chance of doubling your money just seems too good to be true If everyone in the world did it... the casinos would make a ton of money. Therefore it is allowed. Casinos look from the stance: we are more then likely to make money per person, thus if we attract enough people to do it, we'll make money. Hope that helps, Mackler Note: The actual best odds are in craps, which the house has about a 1.4 ish advantage. The odds are even lower then that for roulette.

Answer 3

Never a good idea. If you hit black or red you win or lose the same amount as if you just bet on black, but if you hit green you lose triple.

I'm sure casinos would love for you to come and play that way though.

Answer 4

ITs allowed, yes, but it's just bad for the player.
Betting on both black AND red will just make the player even, at best, and he might lose all ( if the ball get on 0 ).
same situation if he bet on all 36 numbers.. he'll alway get even, or lose everything when it get on 0.

Answer 5

Yes, but why would you want to? If you win your two-chip bet you still lose your one-chip bet and only gain one chip total. If you lose your two-chip bet and win your one-chip bet, you lose one chip total. Even without the zero slot on the wheel, you would only break even in the long run. However, since the zero slot does exist, you would sometimes lose both of your bets (3 chips).

So, there are three possible outcomes: +1 chip, -1 chip, and -3 chips. In the long run, you lose.

Answer 6

Well, yes, but it's pretty much pointless... as they would get the same effect by just betting one on black, with less to lose if it hits zero...

Answer 7

The Dealer should point out that you can only lose betting like that.
