Ship departs.. $100 in hand. Should I bet 100 on Red or Black

[Harry and Lucille]

I would put $50 on each. Red and Black. Walk out ahead of approx. 97.2946 percent of the players in there the first nite. :D

You do realize that the 0 or 00 would surely come up if you made such a silly bet. ;)

$50 on red, $50 on black!:D

At the roulette table..i would get 20 - $5 chips: and bet the following.

 

1 chip on each number -

13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23

 

2 chips on 17 and 24

 

1 chip on each of the following corners

13, 14, 16, 17

14, 15, 17, 18

16, 17, 19, 20

17, 18, 20, 21

19, 20, 22, 23

20, 21, 23, 24

 

Here is the payout for landing on 13-24

13, 15, 22 - $214

14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23 - $255

20 - $335

24 - $390

17 - $510

 

you'll have a third of the wheel covered and you will either more than double your money and possible over 5x your money...of course if it hits 0,00, 1-12, 25-36...you loose...but its a better payout than betting black or red. Of course you could do the same thing with the 1-12 or 25-36 groups of numbers

 

Just my 100 bucks worth!!!

 

Seems to me that you are betting against yourself when you cover a third of the wheel, or any large group of numbers.

They all can't come up.

 

A simple example would be if you played black and 17.

You might hit black and you might hit 17 and you might hit both

 

But if you play red and 17 you could hit either 17 or you could hit red, but you could not hit both.

 

So why set up a bunch of chips that couldn't all hit?
