| Street | 11:1 | 3 |
| Corner | 8:1 | 4 |
| 5 numbers | 6:1 | 5 |
| Six Line | 5:1 | 6 |
| Column | 2:1 | 12 |
| Dozen | 2:1 | 12 |
| Even/Odd | 1:1 | 18 |

How to Calculate Roulette Payouts
Once you understand the structure, calculating roulette payouts becomes quite direct. Every bet uses an “X to 1” format. The “1” represents your stake, while “X” indicates how much you win relative to that stake.
To make it clearer, here are a few examples:
- With a 17:1 payout, each unit staked returns 17 units in profit. So, if you place a R10 bet and win, your payout is R170 (10 × 17).
- At 1:1, the return matches your stake. A winning R100 bet brings in R100 profit.
- In all cases, your original stake is added back to your winnings.
The number on the left side of the ratio shows how many times your bet is multiplied. For example, with an 8:1 payout:
(Your bet) × 8 = Your winnings
The standard formula is:
Payout = Stake amount * Payout ratio + Stake amount
If you place more than one bet during a single spin, your total return is the sum of all winning bets:
Payouts = Payout1 + Payout2 + .. + Payoutn
Payout1-Payoutn are winnings of separate bets
Example:
- You place multiple bets, including R100 on red, R5 on a corner (4, 5, 7, 8), and R25 on the third dozen.
- Your total stake is R130.
- The ball lands on 5. The dozen bet loses, but both the corner and red bets win.
- The calculation looks like this: (100 × 1) + (5 × 8) - 25 = R115
- On top of that, the original stakes from the winning bets are returned, adding another R105.

FAQs
There is no difference in payout ratios between zero and double zero. Both are treated as straight-up bets with a 35:1 return. A R5 bet on either, if it wins, pays out R175.
It comes down to a simple multiplication. Multiply your stake by the payout ratio. For example, a 4:1 payout on a R10 bet gives you R40.
The payout structure is essentially the same in both versions. The only variation is the basket bet in American roulette, which pays 6:1.
Straight-up bets pay 35:1 on single numbers, split bets pay 17:1 on two numbers, and street bets return 11:1 on three numbers in a row. These options offer higher returns but come with lower probabilities.
There is no theoretical ceiling on payouts. In practice, however, casinos apply maximum bet limits, which cap how much you can win. These limits differ from one platform to another.
