Stats state that Roulette odds depend not only on the sector you placed a bet on but the types of this table as well. Here, the casino’s profit is guaranteed by the Zero section (in some Australian and American casinos 00 or Double Zero is used). The wheel, or “spinner,” is divided into 37 cells, 36 of which contain numbers from 1 to 36, and the last one contains Zero (there are 38 cells in the USA, and in some Green Continent gambling institutions).
You can bet on specific numbers or groups of numbers or on “equal chances”: black-red and even-odd. The profit on numbers falling is much higher than when guessing color or parity.
If there were no Zero sectors, the probability of winning for a player who chose, for example, black, would be 18/36, or 50%, but due to the existence of one more cell, it is reduced to 18/37. In other words, the casino has an “additional” share of the chance of winning — 1/37, that is, 2.7%.
In the American variant, according to the Roulette table odds, it increases to 5.4%. When a gambler bets on a specific number, the casino also remains in profit, despite the fact that the gain seems to be generously paid at the rate of 35 to 1. The player’s chances of losing are 36 of 37, and the chances of winning are only 1 of 37. However, you can increase your odds to win.
