7. Bas à cheval, between any two of these columns. This pays ½ for 1. Limit is 3,000 francs.
8. Premier, Milieu, Dernier. Bets placed in the spaces marked P 12, M 12, and D 12, are upon the first, middle and last twelve numbers; that is, from 1 to 12, 13 to 24, and 25 to 36 respectively. This pays 2 for 1. Limit is 3,000 francs.
A cheval between any two of the last mentioned, pays ½ for 1.
In addition to the foregoing, all the following chances may be bet upon. They all pay even money. The limit is 6,000 francs.
9. Impair. That the number will be odd.
10. Pair. That the number will be even.
11. Manque. That the number will be from 1 to 18.
12. Passe. That the number will be from 19 to 36.
13. Rouge or Noir. Red or Black.
The foregoing are the payments at Monte Carlo; but wheels with less numbers are scaled down accordingly. The players can bet on the zero if they choose, and they will be paid if it comes up, 35 for 1, but all other bets are lost. In wheels with two zeros, red and black, the bank wins on the colour which does not come, and the bets on the right colour are neither paid nor taken, but must remain until the next turn of the wheel. This is now the practice at Monte Carlo, with the single-zero wheels.
