Roulette - Probability Theory Guide ######################### Probability Theory Basics and Applications - Mathematics of Roulette http://probability.infarom.ro/roulette.html We call a simple bet a bet that is made through a unique placement of chips on the roulette table. The table below notes the winning probabilities for each category of simple bet, for both European and American roulette: Simple bet Probability (odds) European roulette Probability (odds) American roulette Payout Straight Up 18/37 = 48.64% (1.0 : 1) 18/38 = 47.36% (1.1 : 1) 1 to 1 Even/Odd Bet 18/37 = 48.64% (1.0 : 1) 18/38 = 47.36% (1.1 : 1) 1 to 1 Low/High Bet 18/37 = 48.64% (1.0 : 1) 18/38 = 47.36% (1.1 : 1) 1 to 1 Let us denote by R the set of all roulette numbers. Any placement for a bet is then a subset of R, or an element of P (R). Denote by A the set of the groups of numbers from R allowed for a bet made through a unique placement. A has 154 elements. For example, A (straight-up bet), A (split bet), A (corner bet), A (odd bet), A (the numbers 0 and 19 cannot be covered by an allowed unique placement). We can define a simple bet as being a pair (A, S), where A and S is a real number. A is the placement (the set of numbers covered by the bet) and S is the basic stake (the money amount in chips). Because each simple bet has a payout defined by the rules of roulette, we can also look at a simple bet as at a triple , where is a natural number (the coefficient of multiplication of the stake in case of winning), which is determined solely by A. We have that , according to the rules of roulette. http://probability.infarom.ro/roulette.html ---------------------- In Roullete retail operator best chance by payement 1:1 48.64% ,lower as 50% ,no advantage In trading retail operator best chance by payement 1:1 lower as 50% ,through spread ,broker and margin fees , tax no advantage -------------------------- Best strategy to win in game with no advantage low quantities bets with high risk Full in correlation with 3 example's above in thread (posting from ssss) Real money King of the Micro Contest Each month some 50 000 attempts For 3 Years more as 1 000 000 attempts 3 Best Month results 12700 %,3108% ,2462 % from Canada,Poland ,China - all related to one operation (80 % of profit ) ------------------------------------------ Movement of the pair's AUD/USD , GBP/JPY 1000 pips or XAU/USD - 100$
American. 1 in 38 play 1 in 35 pay. Long term you lose no matter how you manipulate your bet. Your bet size is limited. Easy to see in roulette or any casino game since they are relatively simple to figure. Harder to figure in trading since we can horrendously complicate any trading method. Still the sum of the parts.
