In the black snake betting combination, the 17/20 numbers and 26/29 are split bets, while all the rest are straights.

Does it means in normal way?

If you look at the picture in my second reference, you'll see that 17 and 20, and 26 and 29, are on adjacent squares. If you place a chip on any of these four numbers, that's a straight bet. If you place it on the line dividing two numbers, it's split.
