The Double Street consists of four separate bets, two on separate streets, one on a corner bet (a 'quad'), and one straight up number. A street is a group of six numbers that pays 5/1. We'll assume stakes of £1.00. The double streets cover 6 numbers. You cover those 6 numbers by the placing of one single chip on the line at the border of the roulette layout between two street or three number bets. The payout of the double street bets are 6 for 1 or 5 to 1.

Introduction
Then you'd start betting, and double bet size until you win. It doesn't work because the odds and payouts haven't changed, and all you're doing is making difference size bets on independent spins. This is how the player sees their progression: Bet 1 unit on red: LOSS. Bet 2 units in red: LOSS. Bet 4 units on red: LOSS. In the case of a double-zero wheel, the best bet is the inside bets on one single number, at a house edge of 5.33%. The two- and three-number bets are not much worse at 5.54% and 5.89% respectively. I would be remiss in my duties if I didn't say that the house edge in standard double-zero roulette is lower at 5.26%. We are going to run you through the 5 Number Bet, also known as the Basket Bet, which is a bet you should avoid playing. You can only play this bet on American tables (on a Double Zero Roulette wheel), as it involves making a bet on both the zero pockets, and the number 1, the number 2 & 3, all with one chip (see below on how to place your chip).
Double Ball Roulette plays like regular roulette, except with two balls. I first saw the game at the 2013 Global Gaming Expo and later at the Tropicana in Las Vegas on February 18, 2014. The Tropicana uses a double-zero wheel.
Later, in November, 2016, I noticed it at an Internet casino using Felt software. Felt uses a single-zero wheel.
You might wonder about how they keep the balls from hitting each other in a physical game. The game uses compressed air to shoot the two balls out of a tube almost simultaneously. They travel at the same speed so the second ball always trails the first one.
You might also wonder if the probability of the two balls landing in the same number is about the expected 1/38, assuming they the two outcomes were completely independent. At least I wondered this and annoyed the game maker with physics questions at the gaming show for much too long about it. He assured me that an independent lab did tens of thousands of spins and the probability of the two balls landing the same number is about the expected 1/38, assuming they two outcomes were completely independent.
The betting layout is mostly the same as standard roulette. With the inside bets, the player has two chances to win, but the pays are less. On the outside bets, both balls must win, but the pays are more. In addition the player may bet that both balls will land in any one number.
Rules
General Rules
- An ordinary single- or double-zero wheel is used.
- Most of the layout is the same as conventional roulette.
- Two balls are used.
- Both balls must be successful for 'outside' bets to win. For example, for a bet on Red win, both balls must land in a red number.
- Either ball must be successful for 'inside' bets to win. The player will win twice as much if both balls result in a successful outcome.
- For the 'Double Ball Jackpot' bet to win, both balls must land in the selected number.
- A remote-controlled button is given to a player to activate the air gun shooting the balls.
Available Bets
- Red, Black, Odd, Even, 1 to 18, 19 to 36 — Pays 3 to 1 if both balls land in the chosen 18 numbers.
- 1st 12, 2nd 12, 3rd 12 — Pays 8 to 1 if both balls land in the chosen 12 numbers.
- 1 red, 1 black — Pays 1 to 1 if one ball lands in a red number and the other black.

Strategy
My advice in any game is to go for the bets with the highest expected return. In the case of a double-zero wheel, the best bet is the inside bets on one single number, at a house edge of 5.33%. The two- and three-number bets are not much worse at 5.54% and 5.89% respectively.
I would be remiss in my duties if I didn't say that the house edge in standard double-zero roulette is lower at 5.26%. However, this is only 0.07% lower than the single-number inside bet in Double Ball Roulette.

Strategy
As with any game of pure luck, all you can do for yourself is to make the bets with the lowest house edge. In this case it is the single-number inside bet, with a house edge of 2.78%. If that is too volatile for you, the double-number inside bet is not much higher at 2.99%

The Double Street system is a low-risk betting strategy that's simple to learn. It's considered low risk because you are betting only 6 chips in each round, and these 6 chips cover up to 17 numbers on the table.
The name comes from the fact that you will make equal 6 Line bets for each spin. This requires that each spin you will need 6 units of the same size bet. The bet size (unit) will depend on your individual bank roll.
These 6 unit bets can be placed on the Roulette table as follows:
1. A six line bet(Place 2 units). See example of what is a six line bet below coving numbers 16 to 21.
2. Another six line bet (Place 2 chips) consisting of six different numbers different from 1 above.
3. One straight up bet of any number on the table.(Place 1 unit)
4. One corner bet covering any 4 numbers, for example, 2,5,3, and 6.(Place 1 unit)
Since you have placed 6 chips on the table, your net win for the above bets will be as follows:
1. Four units if you hit a number for either of the six-in-line bets (in 1 and 2 above) as the payout is 5 to 1 (2 chips x 5 equals 10, minus 6 chips from your initial bet, equals 4 units net gain).
2. The straight up bet pays 35 to 1, for a net gain of 29 units.
3. The corner bet pays 8 to 1 for a net gain of 2 units.
The complete progression
Loss risk 0.71% (99.29 chance of success)
