ε.м.м.а asked: A friend is having a casino type party saturday and I have been asked to run the roulette table.
I have already looked up the rules I’ve already got the basics down pat like the different types of bets and the odds however I am shocking at maths and the one thing I can’t work out is the whole payout system and I can’t find any information on it.
Can someone explain to me how I work out how much to give people when they win on a bet? As much information and examples as you can give me please as I am stressing out hard!

Relax is only a bit of fun.
A straight-up bet pays 35/1 so if you bet a $1 on a number and it wins you get $35 in winnings plus the $1 wagered which is $36.
Betting $2 you get back $72.
Betting $5 you get back $180
Red or Black, Odd or Even, 1-18 or 19-36 are even money bets. Bet a $1 it wins, you get a $1 + your $1 wagered which is $2 back.
