What on earth are students wasting my tax money on? i would have no idea either as i dont want to go near the stupid things i do know that its even money odds or even even money black or red 36-1 single number guess the rest would be 36/ the number of numbers you pick ie 4 numbers 12-1 Title: Re: Standard of education hits all time low Post by: Robert HM on October 17, 2005, 11:04:30 PM Try again
Title: Re: Standard of education hits all time low Post by: Ironside on October 17, 2005, 11:05:04 PM oopps 9-1
Title: Re: Standard of education hits all time low Post by: Robert HM on October 17, 2005, 11:27:31 PM 36 numbers and a zero on a European table, zero and double zero on an American. the house ignores the zero(s), it's their edge and gives you 35/1 on a single number.
Title: Re: Standard of education hits all time low Post by: Ironside on October 17, 2005, 11:29:11 PM 35-1? thats an extra edge
Title: Re: Standard of education hits all time low Post by: Robert HM on October 17, 2005, 11:33:41 PM That's neutral.
Your number against 35 other numbers (still excluding the zeros) Title: Re: Standard of education hits all time low Post by: Ironside on October 17, 2005, 11:35:37 PM there is 36 numbers + the 0 on a roulette wheel
Title: Re: Standard of education hits all time low Post by: tikay on October 17, 2005, 11:40:31 PM Yes, so if there are 36 numbers, the odds are 35/1..... Title: Re: Standard of education hits all time low Post by: Robert HM on October 17, 2005, 11:42:07 PM As I said before the "0", i.e. the Zero(s) are the house edge. Ignored when working out odds so there are 36 left, hence 35/1, it is not an extra edge.
Title: Re: Standard of education hits all time low Post by: Ironside on October 17, 2005, 11:42:26 PM ok so if i put it on the corner of 4 numbers what odds would i get paid if i ever hit
Title: Re: Standard of education hits all time low Post by: Robert HM on October 17, 2005, 11:45:39 PM Easy answer, I can't remember and couldn't be arsed to work it out tonight, I'll do it in the morning.
Oh and I need further info, are the numbers adjacent, and which one hits, it makes a difference Title: Re: Standard of education hits all time low Post by: Rhu on October 17, 2005, 11:51:11 PM ok so if i put it on the corner of 4 numbers what odds would i get paid if i ever hit 8:1, I think Title: Re: Standard of education hits all time low Post by: Ironside on October 17, 2005, 11:52:50 PM wow another huge edge why would anyone want to pick 4 numbers
Title: Re: Standard of education hits all time low Post by: Robert HM on October 17, 2005, 11:54:08 PM If the numbers are on the edge the outer numbers corners benefit from half the chips, the inner numbers benefit a quarter. So it depends on where the numbers are.

I use to concentrate on the Evens and 2/1 bets, but even that gave an edge to the house
