Roulette Statistics

It is important to understand that this guide deals with double 0 roulette which is the most common type of roulette found on Internet casinos. This means that there is a possibility of the ball landing on 0 and also another space marked 00. These two spaces are in addition to the 36 colored spaces resulting in a total of 38 spaces. The statistics of roulette are quite simple. But first you must understand all possible bets.

First you can bet on a color, red or black. There is a chance the ball will land on 0 or 00, these spaces count as neither red nor black. This means that the probability that red will win, or the probability that black will win, is less than 50%. It is actually 47.368% (13 red spaces / 38 total spaces). The same can be said about betting on odd or even, or the low half: (1-18) or the high half: (19-36). You can also bet on thirds, a single number, two numbers by placing your chip between two spaces, four numbers by placing your chip in the corner of 4 spaces, 6 numbers, or specifically the 5 numbers 0 00 1 2 and 3. You can easily figure out your odds of winning by dividing the number of spaces that will cause you to win by the total number of spaces 38. I have used these statistics to calculate the estimated returns and I have provided a table of these values for your convenience.

As you can see by this table, betting on 0 00 1 2 3 is the only bet with worse payoffs than the other bets. I strongly reccomend you avoid this betting pattern. All other types of bets will be about the same payoff in the long run. Just avoid mutually exclusive bets like red and black. Theres no way to win with this type of bet.
