Roulette is the third biggest Casino game in the US and the world. There are two versions of Roulette: the European and the American Roulette. Let's focus on the American version. The American double zero increases the house edge on American roulette tables.
Roulette payouts are not pot luck or simple jackpot wins, they vary depending on what was wagered in the first place and where the chip is placed on the mat.
Straight bets yield the highest payouts because they have the worst odds of winning. A straight bet is choosing one number to win. You can choose zero or double zero. The payout is 35 to 1. It's so high because you have a one in 38 chance of winning. Choose this bet if you have cash to burn.
You can increase your chances but get a high payout by splitting your bet. This means placing your chip between two numbers on the board. If it lands on either of these numbers you get a 17 to 1 payout. You can also use corner bets (where all four corners of each number meet) - yielding an 8 to 1 payout. You can use different combinations.
Perhaps the easiest method the most rewarding (in the long run) is to bet on red or black. However this gives a low payout, which is even to how much you wagered. For instance if you bet and win, you get your back with an extra .
Identical to this is the odd and even bet. Simply bet on whether the ball will land on an odd or even number. You don't have to decide the exact number it lands on though.
High bets are between 1 and 18, and low bets are between 19 and 36. A winning bet would simply grant a payout of 1 to 1.
Of course these payouts can alter as you use different combinations - but then you greatly decrease your odds of winning at all, and you can quickly burn through your whole bank balance.
The simplest method is to bet on odd or even and red or black. Combine this with the Martingale system and you will eventually always be in the positive. It just depends on how big your bank balance is and if it can take a huge losing streak, or adhere to the maximum bet limit whilst taking a loss.
So the bets to avoid in this game are probably all single number bets and the five number bet (only found on double zero wheels) because these types of bets have the largest disparity between true odds and actual payouts.

American and European roulettes have a wheel that is divided into numerous slots. Roulette is a game of pure chance and each single spin is unrelated to any previous spins. The wheel consists 38 compartments with numbers from 1 to 36, which are colored black and red, and two green compartments with 0 and 00. The zero and double zero numbers are in green and on opposite sides of the wheel, the colors and odd/even numbers alternate, and the numbers themselves are randomly distributed.   The United States adopted their own version, but the French version is still played time to time in Las Vegas. ) Atlantic City has a special rule which reduces the house edge to 2.7% on even money bets (Red/Black, Odd/Even, 1-18/19-36): If 0 or 00 comes up on on even money bet, you lose only half your bet. You usually find most tables in Las Vegas with a minimum roulette bet of $1 - $3. If you’re feeling lucky, you can pack in plenty of casino play at a roulette wheel in a short time. Try to find a European wheel with the Single 0 (no 00) In a casino, the person who spins the wheel is called a “croupier. The bank pays or collects from each bettor. When you get your roulette chips they will not be marked with a denomination, you choose it, and all of the chips will reflect that worth - the dealer keeps track of that by associating the amount and color with a 'lammer') Here's another way to look at it: Let's say you bet $10 on every number one bet on each of the 38 spots. However, if the dreaded 00 is spun, the House (the casino) keeps all the bets. the bad odds do mean you're less likely to walk away a winner than if you'd played one of the other games instead. When the wheel slows down and the ball drops into one of the numbered slots, the dealer places a marker on the winning number on the Roulette table. European wheels have only the 0 green section. The difference between the true odds and what they actually pay you is 2/38, or 5.26%. Bets can be placed again for the next spin. The wheel determines the outcome of a roulette game. Numbers 1-18 are considered the lows numbers, 19-36 are the highs. I found out about it when an Atlantic City dealer took only one of my two chips on a losing bet and I had to ask why. Also, understand that your odds are the same on every spin. Roulette chips have no value at other tables. The last time we checked (12-00), single Roulette was available at the Stratosphere and Monte Carlo (and probably Paris) Single numbers pay the highest, while either/or bets are lowest. If you play Roulette, the most important thing is to find a casino that offers the European wheel (which is called "Single 0" Roulette) When I was learning about gambling, the first thing I did was to buy and read the book The Complete Idiot's Guide to Gambling Like a Pro. The main goal of the roulette is to bet on the slot where the roulette ball falls. Roulette uses a special wheel, a betting layout, and chips. When the ball on the wheel comes to rest position after spinning the wheel the number and colour are read. Once the ball has found its slot, the dealer will call out the winning number and place a marker on that number's spot on the layout. if you win, the casino doesn't pay you 37 to 1, they pay you less 35 to 1. The chips are worthless at the other tables in the same casino, so do not bother trying to stack them under your blackjack chips or anything foolish like that. If you play black-red, odd/even or high-low, you must place the roulette table minimum for each and every bet. European games have an option called en prison which reduces the house edge to 1.35%, but it's generally not available in the U.S., even in casinos that use the European wheel.
