There aren’t any bets you can make on a roulette wheel that are going to be long-term profitable. But winning three-quarters of the time keeps the money flowing and it is a very exciting way to play the game. Yeah, it stinks when the ball lands in one of the numbers that you aren’t betting, and in the long run, those losses will mathematically wipe out the profit from your wins.
Now that you are covering so many numbers, you are going to win at an absurd 73% rate, which for those of you that aren’t math wizards, is nearly 3 out of every 4 spins.
A hit on the 1, 2, or 3 pays out 35-1, so if the ball lands in one of those slots, you are going to make even more profit on the spin than you would have had your bet on one of the dozens came in.
