Roulette payouts — every bet, priced exactly
Payouts run from 35:1 (straight up) to 1:1 (even-money), and on any one wheel every bet costs the same house edge: 2.70% European, 5.26% American, 1.35% on French even-money. What actually differs between bets is volatility — the column other charts never print.

Where the edge in these tables comes from
Every percentage above is the same 36-pocket payout fiction meeting a 37–38 pocket reality — the two-line derivation makes the whole chart obvious in hindsight.
Green pays too — just rarely
0 (and 00 on American wheels) are numbers like any other for straight-up purposes: they pay 35:1. What they do to every other bet is the house edge itself — the whole story is on the wheel page.
Frequently asked
What is the highest payout in roulette?
35:1 for a straight-up single number — on any wheel. Announced bets can concentrate more per pocket but never beat 35:1 on one number.
Do 0 and 00 pay 35 to 1?
Yes — as straight-up bets the zeros pay 35:1 like every number. Their special role is that they defeat all outside bets, which is where the house edge lives.
Which roulette bet has the best odds?
Even-money bets win most often (48.65% EU), but every bet on the same wheel costs the identical edge. The real “best odds” move is choosing French rules: 1.35% on even-money.
