A bet placed on four adjacent numbers in roulette, forming a square on the betting layout. To place this bet, a player puts their chips on the intersection where the four numbers meet. For example, a player could place a Corner Bet on the numbers 1, 2, 4, and 5 by positioning their chips where these numbers intersect. This strategic placement allows players to cover multiple outcomes with a single bet. If the ball lands on any of these four numbers, the player wins.
The odds of winning a Corner Bet are 4 in 37 (10.81%) in European roulette and 4 in 38 (10.53%) in American roulette. On the other hand, the house edge for this bet is 2.70% in European roulette and 5.26% in American roulette.
The payout for a Corner Bet is 8:1, meaning a player wins eight times their bet1. For instance, a £10 bet wins £80.
Notably, players can make multiple corner bets at once to cover more numbers. Some strategies combine corner bets with straight-up bets to cover a total of 21 numbers. The corner bet is considered a solid choice for beginners, offering a balance of good odds and a decent payout.
