Calculation of Roulette Payouts
Let's start with the basics. The payout of a roulette bet is always expressed as X to 1. Here, ‘1’ is the bet placed by the player. ‘X’ is the payout for that bet. For example, in the table above, the payout for a split bet is listed as 17 to 1. This simply means the following:
- For every 1 CAD you place, you will be paid 17 CAD. Let's say you place 100 CAD on a split bet. If you win, the payout will be 1.700 CAD (100 x 17).
The 1 to 1 payout may confuse you because, at first glance, it looks like the player doesn't win anything. However, the same formula applies here. For example, if you place 10 CAD on a red/black bet and win, you will be paid 10 CAD (10 x 1).
And this might make you think that you cannot make a profit, but this is not the case. When roulette payouts are made, the player is also paid back his original bet. Let's go back to the example above: For your 10 CAD red/black bet, you will actually get 20 CAD. 10 CAD of this is the money you placed. The remaining 10 CAD is the payout for the bet. This applies to all roulette bets and can be formulated as follows:
Payout = Stake amount * Payout Ratio
If you place multiple bets at the same time, the payout will vary depending on which ones you win and which ones you lose. We can formulate this as follows:
Payouts = Payout1 + Payout2 + .. + Payoutn - lost bets
*Payout1 or Payout2 or Payoutn are winnings of separate bets
To give a practical example:
- Suppose you bet 100 CAD on a straight, 5 CAD on the corner, and 25 CAD on a dozen.
- You have placed a total of three bets on the table, totaling 130 CAD.
- Let's assume that the straight bet won and the number we chose also allowed us to win our corner bet too. So, we only lost a dozen bet. If we represent this scenario using the formula above:
(100 x 1) + (5 х 8) - 25 = 115 CAD
However, do not forget that our original bets will also be paid out. That is, the game will give us another 105 CAD, so we will have a total of 220 CAD back in our bankroll (105 + 115).
