It’s often called a “square” or “quad” bet.

Placing a chip at the corner or in the middle of a square of four numbers is called a “corner” bet. That means the house edge will constantly be at 5.26%, regardless of how varied the odds and payouts are. As you noticed, the highest payout at 35 to 1 is when you hit a single number. With a simple bet like that and a chance of winning under 50%, you’ll likely get a simple payout: “even money.” For instance, if you bet $100 and win, you’ll likely get $200 (your initial hundred plus an equal amount in winnings).Īnother example is if you bet on a two to 1 column and won, you’ll likely get $300 (your initial bet and $200 winnings). In this case, the house’s winning odds will be 52.63%, a 5.26% advantage over you. Also, note that the wheel has double zero and green zero. For example, you’ll likely get a 47.37% chance of winning if you make straight bets on odd, even, red, or black.
