Every roulette bet pays differently, but on the same wheel they all carry the same house edge - 5.26% on an American (double-zero) wheel. The payouts below come straight from our trainer. The number that actually changes your odds isn't the bet, it's the wheel.
Long odds, big payouts. The fewer numbers you cover, the more it pays.
| Bet | Pays | House Edge |
|---|---|---|
| Straight (a single number) | 35:1 | 5.26% |
| Split (two adjacent numbers) | 17:1 | 5.26% |
| Street (a row of three) | 11:1 | 5.26% |
| Corner (a square of four) | 8:1 | 5.26% |
| Six Line (two adjacent rows of three) | 5:1 | 5.26% |
Even-money and 2:1 bets around the edge - the slow, steady ride.

The edges above are for an American wheel with both 0 and 00. A European wheel has a single 0, which cuts the edge on every one of these bets to 2.70% - almost half. Same payouts, same bets, far cheaper to play. See American vs European roulette.

A straight-up bet (a single number) pays 35:1. It carries the same 5.26% house edge on an American wheel as every other roulette bet — the big payout doesn't make it a better or worse value, just a swingier one.
None has a better house edge — every bet on the same wheel is identical (5.26% American, 2.70% European). The real choice is the wheel: play single-zero European whenever it's offered.
The payouts (35:1 straight, 2:1 dozens, 1:1 even-money, etc.) are standard. What changes is the wheel — single-zero vs double-zero — and that's what moves the house edge from 2.70% to 5.26%.
