Explanation / Answer
1. Straight : Out of 36 numbers any one number the chip shall stop. So, probability = 1/36
Odds = (36-1):1 = 35:1
2. Split : Here we choose two adjoining numbers. Hence probability of winning = 2/36 = 1/18
Odds = (18-1):1 = 17:1
3. Street : bet on 3 numbers and hence probability = 3/36 = 1/12
Odds = 11:1
4. Corner bets on 4 numbers hence probability = 4/36 = 1/9
Odds = 8:1
5. Double street : For two adjoining streets, we bet on 6 numbers. Hence, probability = 6/36 = 1/6
Odds = 5:1
