Roulette Worst bets to make in roulette?

[Muay]

I saw a thread here about some of the best bets you can make in roulette, and it got me thinking, what are some of the worst bets one can make?

Worst in what sense? Ones with the lowest chance of payouts usually have the highets prices. Are you looking for the one with the worst risk to reward ratio. I've heard the Basket Bet (00,0,1,2,3) in American roulette is the worst at 7.89%, and pays out at 6 to 1.

I heard that any number at 2.63% is more hazardous than all and there is a list of the ten worst bets you can make at the casino. I still don't quite get it as I'm learning the strategies right now.

There are a few interesting pieces about the worst roulette bets online, but most seem to think it is the basket bet, followed by a single number. What was really good was a peice by ]John Grochowski on the casino city times explaining why these bets are bad, and why the basket bet edges out single number bets are the worst. It looks like you get $1 less for a win than you would if you bet on the five numbers seperately. He explains it really clearly here: Roulette's worst bet

Thanks for the link, Tolly. I checked it out and I learnt so much from that site. I have been trying to study more about this game on my own, but it's slow going. I think I will get more benefit from actual play than reading.

This seems like it's got to be an ongoing study if you ever hope to learn everything that you need to know about making the best possible bets. There is just too much information out there right now.
