Compare Possible Outcomes

Start With the Average

On a standard single-zero wheel, both red/black and a single-number bet have an expected loss of 1/37 of the stake. The payouts compensate for very different chances of winning each spin.

Look Beyond One Number

A red/black win pays one stake in profit. A single-number win pays 35. Comparing only the average hides how often losses occur and how large occasional wins are. The outcome explorer keeps the complete win-count distribution available.

Ask the Same Question

Compare the same stake, wheel and number of completed spins. A stopping rule would answer a different question. A 5th–95th percentile range is a description of the model, not a guarantee that a session falls inside it.

Check Your Understanding.

Do equal expected losses imply equal chances of finishing ahead?
