Roulette Senryu String
I bet red or black
Or I bet odd or even
It’s even money
I bet first eighteen
If the number will be low.
That’s even money
I bet last eighteen
If the number will be high
Even money too.
I win two for one
If I bet on the dozens
Low, middle, and high.
There are column bets
These pay two for one also
There are three columns
And you have line bets
They are bets on six numbers
Paying five to one
You have the top line
The zeros and one, two, three.
That pays six to one.
You have corner bets
These are bets for four numbers
These pay eight to one.
Don’t forget street bets.
They pay eleven to one
These three number bets.
Want to bet a split?
They cover two numbers each
Seventeen to one
Those straight up numbers
Are the ones paying the most.
Thirty-five to one.
I will make my bets.
Here’s my money for my chips.
Spin me some winners!
