In roulette, a split bet is when you place your chips on the line between two adjacent numbers on the layout. This bet pays 17:1 if either number hits.
To make a split bet, simply place your chips on the border separating two numbers. For example, placing chips between 14 and 17 creates a split bet covering both numbers. 
Split bets are popular among players who want higher payouts than straight-up bets but with better odds than corner or street bets. They cover 2 numbers out of 37 （European） or 38 （American） possible outcomes.
Common split bet combinations include consecutive numbers like 1-2, 10-11, or numbers that appear next to each other on the layout such as 5-8 or 32-35.
Remember that split bets can only be placed on numbers that are physically adjacent on the roulette table layout, regardless of their numerical sequence. |
