What is a Line Bet in Roulette?_deltin51

A line bet in roulette is a type of wager that covers six consecutive numbers on the roulette table. This bet is placed by putting your chips on the outer corner of two adjacent rows, covering all six numbers in those rows.

In European roulette, the line bet pays 5 to 1, meaning if you bet $1 and win, you get $5 plus your original bet back. The probability of winning a line bet in European roulette is 6/37, or approximately 16.22%.   

In American roulette, the line bet also pays 5 to 1, but the probability is slightly lower at 6/38, or about 15.79%, due to the additional double zero pocket.

Line bets are popular among roulette players because they offer better odds than single number bets while still providing decent payouts. They are considered medium-risk bets that can help balance your roulette strategy.
