Odd / Impair: an odd number. Low bet / Manque: numbers 1 - 18 (Manque is French for "failed" and is used because the ball has failed to pass 18) High bet / Passe: numbers 19 - 36 (Passe is so named because it has "passed" the centrepoint)
Roulette is primarily a game of luck, as the outcome of each spin is determined by random chance. The layout of the wheel and the distribution of numbers are designed to ensure randomness and make it difficult to predict where the ball will land.
The bottom line is that roulette is a game of luck rather than skill, but there are things you can do to boost the odds of winning. = Back to Articles list.
