Roulette Odds 8 Black In A Row

Apr 19, 2016 The odds of red or black spinning in a row. On the European wheel, there are 37 numbers. 18 are black, and 18 are red. So the odds of red spinning are 18/37 = 0.4865. The odds of black spinning are the same. And it’s the same for any “even chance” bet including highs and lows, and odds and evens. The highest roulette odds (36 to 1) are for a single number bet and the lowest (1 to 1) are for outside bets like Odd/Even or Red/Black. Secondly, if you want to know what is the best bet for winning in online roulette, keep in mind that the European roulette odds to win are slightly better than those at the American table. Both pay 2:1, but the odds of winning are only 32.43% and 31.58% for European and American Roulette, respectively. You may be thinking, “what if I bet on two columns, then I have a $64.8% chance of winning”. Roulette Odds Explained. Even though there are 37/38 pockets on a roulette wheel (depending on whether you play European or American roulette), odds are calculated based on 35 pockets. That is the maximum payout, secured by winning a straight up bet. Naturally, this means that the house always has an edge.

I agree with these last two posts...the one thing that puts my head in a spin on this is ---- for future spins...the odds of 18 reds/blacks/evens/odds is 1 in half million approx.....how can you say that mathematically..... it 's not a proobability that can be calculated because each future 18 spins ....begins at 1 and begins at 1 again and is indepentant so I can't apply a proobability formula to it.... it cannot be done.....can it??? why did the wizard of odds apply that formula... wa he wrong???

then why did the wizard of odds say the probability of 18 reds in a row was approximately 1 in a half million.....he was wrong to say this wasn't he?

I'm in australia and it's mid night...I have to sleep...but I can't...just tell me the wizard of odds was WRONG to place a probability of one in approx half million of 18 in a row red/black/odd/even....he was wrong because you cant apply probability forward in roulette because each spin is independant....if thats right tell me he was wrong and I will sleep...

Let's attack this from another direction.
Assume that somewhere there is a casino that has a jackpot bet for 18 Red/Black/Odd/Even/High/Low in a row.
Do you think that the casino would let you place your bet after 12 in a row had already hit?
Remember: For every gambler that looked at the display at the roulette table and said 'Look honey. Red came out 12 times in a row! We should bet on black,' there was another sucker that said 'Look honey. Red came out 11 times in a row! We should bet on black.'

No, he was not wrong. The probability he calculated was correct.

Each spin has a probability of 18/38. Since each spin is independent, you multiply the probability together 18 times, to get (18/38)^18 = 0.00000144 = 1 in 693,745.
This discussion has gone on long enough, and you clearly need some sleep, so I am closing this thread.
