Y'all just discovered why there is one green zero in roulette. It's tipping the scale ever so slightly in favor of the house. Even if everybody max their odds by always betting on a color, there is always one more slot for losing. The chances are never in your favor. As long as enough people play regularly the house always wins.

    In American roulette there is also double 0, and the more recently added triple zero, because the house wasn't winning enough I suppose

    It's a great way to either start your life over from scratch, or to get a big-ass runaround from a pit boss.
