I know how to play roulette very well,but since it has been a few years since I have played,there is one bet with a chip placement that I forgot about and need some help.
If I am sitting all the way on the right side of the american roulette table,then the green 0 and double 00 green are quite a distance for me to reach on my far left.Years ago,I was told by the roulette dealer that if I want to play a split 0/00 bet that instead of reaching all the way over on my left to place my chips on 0/00 green(for the split bet 17:1)..that I can simply place the chips at a sopt in front of me.
I simply forgot which 'spot'this was.I think it was were the line intersects in the upper middle between odd/19 to 36 and the 3rd 12.I'm not sure anymore.But I know for certain that in Alantic City,NJ,they let me place my split 0,00 green bets somewhere around the 3rd 12 area so that I did not have to reach across the roulette table everytime I got a seat on the right side of the table to place that bet.
Can anyone refresh my memory?

However, the American roulette has an exclusive bet (the Basket) including 0, 00, 1, 2, 3 with 13.16% odds and payout 6:1. What is the highest roulette odds probability? 48.60% are the odds on a roulette table for a wide range of outside bets. Roulette wheels in Los Vegas have 38 pockets. They are all numbered 0, 00, and 38 pockets, there are 18 red, 18 are black, and 2 are green. Of all Each time the wheel is spun, a ball lands in one of the pockets, ai is equally likely.

You can place that bet on the line separating the '2nd 12' and '3rd 12' bets.

Thanks Doc.
Yes,that seems to refresh my memory.I'll have to try that again in the new Sands Casino in Bethehem,Pa.Hope those green croupiers understand that bet and don't think that i'm trying to play split dozens which is allowed in UK casinos.
By the way,my original question was concerning 0 and 00 split,and the optional chip placement for those numbers.But I suppose there is no optional chip placement for either 'straight up' 35:1 on 0 or 00 other than directly on those numbers?If I have to reach all the way over again,I guess i'll just have to ask the dealer,right?No other way without asking or reaching?

The only way I've found to play the 0-00 individually is to actually place, or have the dealer place, the chips on the spots. On a single '0' wheel, the courtesy line does not apply, at least where I have played. Another player spotted me making that mistake and moved my chip for me. I couldn't get mad at him..it hit, and I was told by the dealer that it would not have paid in the incorrect location. Also, the gent was trying to let me know what had happened as it was going on..thanks!!!

Even if you've been playing roulette forever, there are still things to learn. There are bets, for example, that aren't clearly marked on the roulette layout. Here are three you need to know.

The Courtesy Line

It's pretty straightforward to bet on zero and double zero, with one chip, by placing it on the line between the two numbers. It's called a 'split' bet.

But if you're sitting at the end of the table not easily within reach of the zero and double zero spaces, did you know there's a 'courtesy line' bet that accomplishes the same thing? It's the line between the '2nd 12' and '3rd 12' bets, as in the photo below.

No matter where you make the zero and double zero bet, it pays 17-to-1.

This courtesy line bet saves players from having to figure out how to bet the zero and double zero from the opposite end of the table, including having to ask the dealer to do it.

The Basket Bet

Payout

0 00 Payout In Roulette

The 'basket' bet lets you bet on five numbers with one chip. When you bet in the position pictured below, you're betting on zero, double zero, 1, 2 and 3, all at the same time. Playing video poker tips.

The basket bet is what's known in roulette parlance as a 'seriously sucky bet.' That's because while the house edge in American roulette (European roulette has a zero, but no double zero) is 5.26%, the edge on a basket bet is 7.89%. You've been warned.

The basket bet pays 6-to-1. Oh, just run away, already.

It should be noted you can find European roulette tables around Vegas, where the house edge dips down to 2.7%. Obviously, finding those tables is worth the hunt.

The Avenue Bet

Roulette 0 And 00 Payout

If betting three numbers, all in one row, is called a 'street' bet, it makes sense six numbers (in two rows) is called an 'avenue' bet. You can bet on six numbers at once by placing your chip strategically as illustrated below.

Avenue bets pay 5-to-1. Yeah, we hate math, too, but it's important to know a little so you get the correct payout when you win.

If there's a combination of numbers you'd like to bet in roulette, chances are there's a way to easily make the bet. Casinos are super accommodating that way. Ahem.

Now that you've mastered these three weird roulette bets, feel free to brag about your expansive roulette knowledge to your friends and colleagues. Sure, they'll be annoyed, but there's a 5.26% chance that's just jealousy talking.
