The fixed odds in roulette are how house makes its money. There can be
some very big odds to overcome, but at the same time, there some odds
that are very small. A bet with big odds, such as straight-up bet, is
often called a long shot. For example, compare the odds of hitting any
red number versus the odds that one specific number out of 38 will come
up. A you can see, the odds against you vary a great deal, depending on
which bet you make. You make the choices, you select the odds, and you
make the bets. When it comes to roulette, play smart - play the odds.
The main thing to remember is that the game is based on independent
events or trials.
In roulette, each and every spin is a new spin, and the outcome is never
determined by a prior spin. What happened before makes no difference to
what will happen next.
