What Are Street Bets in Roulette?
A street bet is an inside bet that covers three consecutive numbers arranged in a single horizontal row on a roulette table.
Street bets are available in every standard version of roulette, including American and European, Classic, and VIP Roulette. If any one of your three selected numbers hits on the next spin, the bet pays 11:1, meaning you receive 11 times your investment.
Because one chip covers three numbers, street bets provide broader coverage across the numbered grid while still offering a strong payout. They’re a popular choice for players exploring the range of inside bets available at the table.

What Numbers Are Covered in a Street Bet?
The numbered section of the roulette table is arranged into 12 horizontal rows, each containing three consecutive numbers. Each row represents one possible street bet.
The 12 standard street combinations are:
| 3 | 6 | 9 | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 | 27 | 30 | 33 | 36 |
| 2 | 5 | 8 | 11 | 14 | 17 | 20 | 23 | 26 | 29 | 32 | 35 |
| 1 | 4 | 7 | 10 | 13 | 16 | 19 | 22 | 25 | 28 | 31 | 34 |
These remain the same whether you’re playing American or European Roulette.
It’s also important to note that 0 in European Roulette and 0 and 00 in American Roulette are positioned outside the main numbered grid. As a result, they are not included in any standard street bet.
This simple layout makes street bets easy to recognize and quick to place once you’re familiar with the table.
How to Place a Street Bet in Roulette
Placing a street bet is straightforward once you know where your chip belongs.
To place the wager on your desktop or mobile device, choose the chip amount you want to wager – usually the options are between $1 and $500 – then click the top of the vertical row. For example, when you see 3-2-1 from top to bottom on the American Roulette table, simply click on the line above the 3.
This is the case for every street bet on the board: choose your risk, click on the highest number on the line to place the street bet, then click spin.
Keep in mind that if the bet is placed correctly, the chip will automatically land on that outside line.
One of the advantages of a street bet is its simplicity. A single chip covers the entire row, making it much cleaner than placing separate wagers on each individual number.
You can practice placing street bets across Bovada’s full selection of live and digital roulette tables before developing your preferred betting style.
Street Bet Payout and When to Use One
Every street bet in roulette pays 11:1, regardless of which row you select.
To put that into context:
- A straight-up bet covers one number and pays 35:1.
- A street bet covers three numbers and pays 11:1.
- Even-money outside bets such as Red/Black and Odd/Even pay 1:1.
Each bet type offers a different balance between how much of the table the bet covers and its potential payout. This allows players to choose how they want to attack the table.
Most players choose street bets when they’re targeting a specific section of the table without needing hundreds of chips. Some players combine street bets with outside bets such as Red/Black or Odd/Even to spread their action across different areas of the table during the same spin.

Street Bet vs. Split Bet – What’s the Difference?
Street bets and split bets are both inside bets, but they cover different numbers and offer different payouts.
A split bet covers two adjacent numbers by placing a chip on the line between them. It pays 17:1, while a street bet covers three consecutive numbers in one horizontal row and pays 11:1.
Here’s a table comparing all the odds for standard bet types for American and European Roulette:
| Bet Type | Numbers Covered | Payout |
| Single Bet/Straight Up | 1 | 35:1 |
| Split | 2 | 17:1 |
| Street | 3 | 11:1 |
| Corner | 4 | 8:1 |
| Six Line | 6 | 5:1 |
Another key difference is placement.
Split bets can be made on any two numbers that share an edge, whether they’re side by side horizontally or vertically. Street bets, however, are limited to the 12 predefined rows of three consecutive numbers on the roulette layout.
Neither bet is better than the other. They simply offer different combinations of coverage and payout, giving players more ways to attack the table when they have certain numbers in mind.
