There’s no fool proof strategy to winning on Roulette and the Roulette Calculator won’t help you find one. But what it will do is allow you to visualise the probability of certain events happening. For example, if you want to know the odds of a specific number coming up three times in a row, it will tell you. For the record, it’s 0.1% or 1 in 54, 872.
Maybe you want to know, on average, the chances of your favourite number 10 coming up at least twice over the course of 100 spins. It’s 74%.
Or to keep it simpler: how many times on average Red will come up over 100 spins. It’s 47 times, because of that pesky zero! The Roulette Calculator has dropdown menus allowing you to pick and choose outcomes over a certain number of spins, depending on the event you’re trying to work out the probability for.
A real casino classic, where players have to try and predict which number on the roulette wheel a little white ball will land on when it stops spinning.
The Roulette table has numerous betting options that follow the same principle: the less likely it is for that bet to win, the higher the odds at which you’re paid out if it does.
A Roulette wheel has 36 numbers on it, which will either be black numbers or red numbers.
A standard UK/European roulette table will have one zero on it, which is green in colour. American roulette tables have two zeros on it. All bets placed on anything other than the number zero automatically lose.
So, by having two zeros rather than one, the house edge is doubled on American roulette tables. If players choose to bet on a single number, they’ll be paid out at odds of 35/1 if it lands on that number. They can also bet that the ball will either land on a red number or a black number. Betting on either red or black pays out at odds of even money, remembering that landing on the zero means that neither red nor black wins.
Betting on Odd or Even, or 1-18 or 19-36, also pays out at even money. Players can choose to place bets that cover more than one number a time. For example, betting on numbers 1-2 within the same bet is known as a split and you get paid out at 17/1. A street sees you bet on three numbers at a time. For example: 4,5 and 6, paying out at 11/1. And so on. The more numbers you bet on at the same time, the greater your chance of winning but the lower the odds you get paid out at.
The numbers you bet on don’t always have to be in a sequence. For example, betting on Column 1 means all the 12 numbers on that column are yours. They’re not in any numerical order, they just happen to be listed under the same column, and the bet pays out at 2/1.
