Say a single-number bet has a 35:1 payout, and you betR$1. If you win, you'll get your money back plusR$35. Another example: If you win aR$100 bet (for a 35:1 payout), you get a total of $3,600 ($3,500 profit plus theR$100 you initially bet).

If you place aR$5 bet on a single number in roulette and that number hits, you will typically win $175. This is because the payout for a successful single-number bet (also known as a "straight bet") in American roulette is usually 35 to 1.
