Chris Boyd seemed to be the craziest gambler in history. In January of 1994, Chris followed his dream to the casinos of Las Vegas for the ultimate roulette spin. Chris had saved 0,000 over a three year period, and wanted to put it all on one spin of the wheel. It took him much time to find in Las Vegas a casino, in which he could place such a bet. With refusals from most of the major casinos, Chris was referred to Binion’s Horseshoe Club. The Horseshoe Club had a limit of 0,000 on a red/black bet, but they agreed to accept his wager. The casino also agreed to block out the double-zero on the wheel as this didn’t exist in the European version of the game that Chris was used to playing. Chris chose to place his bet on red. The casino and the dealer agreed to a few practice spins to ensure that full fairness for everyone concerned, and then the big spin came. The ball landed in number 7, red. Chris won 0,000 instantly, and asked for the money to be put into the casinos cage, and vowed never to gamble again. |
If you translate the word of “Roulette” from French you will get “small wheel”. Blaise Pascal invented the original version of the game in the 17th century. The single zero Roulette was introduced in 1842 by Frenchmen Francois and Louis Blank. In the 19th century casino gambling was forbidden in France, that's why the game wasn't so well-known in France, but it was very popular in Hamburg and Germany. Later Francois and his son Camille were responsible for bringing the game of Roulette back to southern France for the Prince of Monaco, Charles III. The game of Roulette was brought to the USA at the beginning of the 19th century. Some additional features were deleted and the game got a double zero back. The game became popular in the old west of America.
Today most casino odds have to be either 34 to 1 or 35 to 1. This means that the house pays you or and you keep your original bet. The house average or house edge is the amount the player loses relative to any bet made, on average. If a player bets on a single number in the American game there is a probability of 1/38 that the player wins 35 times the bet, and a 37/38 chance that the player loses his bet. the green squares are technically the only house edge. Outside bets always lose when a single or double zero come up. However, the house also has an edge on inside bets because the pay outs are always set at 35 to 1 when you mathematically have a 37 to 1 chance at winning a straight bet on a single number. The house edge should not be confused with the hold. The hold is the amount of cash the table changes for chips, minus the chips taken away. In other words, the actual "win" amount for the casino. The Casino Control Commission in Atlantic City releases a monthly report showing the win/hold amounts for each casino. The average win/hold for double zero wheels is between 21-30%, more than 5. 26%/2. 70% of all players money. This is known in the casino gaming industry as "churning". A player with a certain total amount of money may not win or lose all his money instantly, as the bets they make will often be greater than the total of the money they actually started with. The house edge applies to each bet made. That means the player can end up losing significantly more than 5. 26% of his starting money.
