I had an odd conversation tonight with three other people while playing roulette. I already know the answer but I'll swing this past ya'll. I'll give two options >>
On the 00 wheel, the worst bet is the 0, 00, 1, 2, 3, we all know this. Lets say we have 5 $1 chips.
A) If we wager $5 on the above as ONE bet and hit, we get $30 net plus
our $5 = $35 TOTAL.
B) If we bet $1 on each of the five numbers and we get a hit........ we get $31 net ($1 more) plus our $1 = $32 TOTAL.
So with "B", we net more (by $1) but with "A", we'll end up with a total of $35.
So which is better and WHY or are they both the same?
Ken
A. Start...100 u br...after the win...130u
B. Start...100 u br...after the win....131u
A. Is a sucker bet.....7.9% HE.
A.should be 135u after the win...if they wernt sharks.
Hi Mr J,
Your calculations are wrong.
When you bet 5 numbers as a group you spend 5$ and you end up with 7 * 5$ units = 35$ Profit = 30$
When you bet 5 numbers individually, you spend 5$ and you end up with 36 * 1$ units = 36$ Profit=31$
So it is better to bet them individually.
The only reason to bet the numbers as a group is when you want to keep your bets low, because on can use the minimum bet for five numbers, which otherwise would need 5X minimum bet.

@Kav >> (lol) I know, I wanted to drag this out for a couple days but too late. THAT was the logic from the guys sitting with me at the table.
Ken
Yes, +$1 betting them separately.
Ken
ken....seeing as i got it right....I get to ask a question.
American Wheel....I read that E/C is HE 2.7% if you find a table with En prison or Surrender
Is that offer common in US casinos?
That must be worth looking for.
00 wheel......every bet is 5.26% except the 0 00 1 2 3 (7.89%).
Here in my crappy city, no single zero wheels and I think (not real sure) not every 0 wheel OFFERS En prison or Surrender. I'm not real sure if that's an automatic offer/rule or if its up to the casino????
I'd like to know.
Ken
Considering that you have directed your question at Ken I would like to answer you.
The only jurisdiction at which the la partage rule at the 0/00 table is in effect is in Atlantic City`s { New Jersey) 11 casinos being guaranteed by the NJ Casino control commission.
By the same token NO en -prison rule or la partage applies at this jurisdiction to the single 0 roulette wheel if available at any of those casinos .
The other major NE USA casinos do not offer this feature. Neither off shore, the ATLANTIS on Paradise Island Bahamas .Ditto for Nevada casinos in Las Vegas and Laughlin.

Thanks ND/Ken
I like to understand the game at all levels.
Knowledge is king
I learned something new. I did not even think it was offered anywhere on a 00 wheel, interesting.
Ken
New Jersey it is then Ken.....is that far?
(remember, UK is 1/3 the size of Texas......we have no concept of distances[smiley]aes/erm.png[/smiley])
For a couple years now, I've been thinking about moving to Reno. (no more winters and more than one casino etc.)
Plenty to do there but in a smaller package. that's more my style.

Yes Turner I agree so much choice in the UK. You don't have to travel too far if you want to find a land based Casino.
And don't forget no tax on gambling :thumbsup:
ND,
that's a long way to drive to work!
Mr.J,
They have Single 0 tables in the PA casinos, but they do not offer en prison.
Turner,
I thought I was lucky only having a 60 mile drive to my closest casino. AC is only about 110miles from me as well
15 minute drive to my casino.
Ken
gambling is totally open and available in UK. We don't pay any tax.....The tax man isn't in the slightest bit interested if I walk out the casino with 50K every day (I wish)
Book makers shops on every corner.....only second to Curry takeaways
Then there are about 100 online casinos
Insane!!!
BTW...Malcop is English?...well i never
Yep Turner I'm English live in the Midlands just like you :)
Edit: just had a quick look on Google only 69.7 miles from Manchester.
What`s a Curry takeaway ?
Thanks.
ND>
@ Nathan
it's a shop who cooks curry food, you can walk in or have it delivered to your house....as opposed to a Curry House where you eat in.
The delivery man will always be a 50 year old asian in a 20 year old Nissan micra
As in the phrases...."shall we go for a curry" (house) "shall we order a curry" (take away)
Slightly more popular than Gambling.
(don't I paint a beautiful picture of the English)
eating curry....drinking....gambling. In that order
Midlands eh..67 miles could be Notts...leicester...derby...."me duck"
