Roulette ODDS?

Question

what are the odds of one color either Black or Red hitting 14 times in a row? from a fresh point too. im speaking about online roulette because you can wait till you get 5 same colors in a row and then bet 1, 2, 5, 10 , 20 , 40 , 80, 160, 240...if someone knows how to do the real mathematical percent of the 14xs in a row for the same color.. thnxxxxxxxxxxx

Answer 1

The odd of an event happing X time in a row, is simply the odds of the event raised to the X power (times itself X times)

the odds of landing a red or black are both 18/38 for a double zero or 18/37 for a single zero wheel.

since you will not begin counting consecutive blacks or red untill after one of them has landed, you need only calculate the odds for the ball landing on the specified color 13 times after the first.

Single zero wheel    0.00855%    about 1:12000

Double zero:    0.00604%  about 1:16000

Further more the fact that a ball has landed on anythign prior to a spin has no effect whatsoever on the odds of the spins in the future.  No matter when you place your bet, the ball will spin in a circle around 18 reds, 18 blacks and one or two zeros, the odds are the same for every spin.

This beleif is known as the gamblers fallacy and has brought many peopel into bankrupcy.

Answer 2

You are asking about the Martingale System.  There's nothing new about it and the concept has been around for a very long time.  Roulette has been around for around 200 years.  If there were a simple way to beat the house, the house would have changed the rules a long time ago.

If you keep doubling your wager on Roulette, the odds are you will eventually win your money back.  But a few unlucky streaks and you are betting a substantial amount of money just to break even again.

You also have to remember that there is no bet in Roulette that has a 50/50 chance of hitting.  For example, a red or back bet is even money, but thanks to the zero and double zero 2/38 spins neither red nor black wins.

The casino has a house edge of 5.26% no matter what fancy system you come up with.

Answer 3

Every spin is a fresh point.  Don't be confused by these systems.  The only way to win big is to bet big.

Answer 4

Well,the answer is:

for 1 spin ,the possibility is 18/37.(18 your colour / 18+18 +"0")

For 14 spins is (18/37)^14.That is 0,000041 or 0,0041 %
