If you put $5 on just one number, then yes, 35:1 payout on a $5 bet would be $175.
For those starting out for the first time, putting down $5 bets can burn through your money.  
When I play, i start out with $5 chips and make $5 bets on numbers.  The payouts are alot higher (and so are the losses when you hit bad streaks).
Once you start winning, and you can modify the strategy, put $100 on black or red, put higher amounts on the 2nd or 3rd 12.
once you get comfortable with the betting strategy and winning, then you will get bolder and bet higher.
Above all, know when to stop.  Hitting the bad streak early on can be very discouraging, that's why i suggest starting with the $1 bets to "feel out your luck streak".
