Corner Bet

A Corner Bet, also known as a "Square Bet" or "Quartet," is a bet in roulette where you wager on four numbers that form a square on the roulette table. You place your chips on the intersection of these four numbers. This bet offers a solid balance between risk and reward, with a payout of 8:1.

Key Details of the Corner Bet

Here’s a quick overview of the essential elements of the Corner Bet:

• Odds: 4 in 37 (European roulette) or 4 in 38 (American roulette).
• House Edge: 2.70% (European roulette) or 5.26% (American roulette).
• Payout: 8:1 – You win eight times your bet.

How the Corner Bet Works

The Corner Bet is an inside bet where you bet on four numbers that form a square on the table layout. To place this bet, you put your chips on the intersection point where the four numbers meet. If any of these four numbers hit, you win a payout of 8:1. This makes the bet less risky than a Straight Up Bet but more rewarding than outside bets like Red/Black.

For example, you could place a Corner Bet on the numbers 1, 2, 4, and 5 by positioning your chips where these numbers intersect.

Odds, House Edge, and Payout

The Corner Bet offers a good balance between risk and reward.

Although the payout is lower than some inside bets, the improved odds make this a popular choice for players looking for a middle-ground strategy.

Examples of Corner Bet in Action

Example 1: You place a $10 Corner Bet on 7, 8, 10, and 11. The ball lands on 8, so you win $80 (8:1 payout) plus your original $10 bet back.
Example 2: You bet $20 on the corner that includes 19, 20, 22, and 23. The ball lands on 5, which isn’t one of your numbers, so you lose your $20 bet.
