Read the result

This bet covers 18 of 37 pockets, so its single-spin win chance is 18/37. At $10 per spin,100 spins put $1,000 on the table. The expected loss is $1,000 × (1/37), about $27.03. At least one hit occurs in more than 99.99% of such sessions. The chance of no hit is exactly (19/37)100, so a hit is never certain. A hit alone does not guarantee a profit.

The session calculation counts the possible numbers of winning spins. After w wins, the net is stake × [w × (1 + 1) − 100]. It adds the exact binomial probabilities for outcomes above, at and below zero. It assumes the same bet and stake on independent spins of a fair wheel. It does not model table limits, bankroll stops, bet progressions, or French zero concessions.
