Best way to analyse online roulette for fairness?
1. Record starting balance, bet size, number of bets, end balance.
2. Record each number picked and number spun.
1st option is much easier of course but would it be enough for an assessment? Would appreciate some help from the math experts :)

The test for bias I suggest is table minimum on both red and black, and count the number of 0/00 that come up. Compute the z-Score. You can find out pretty quickly. A reliable result (if it's biased away from your bets) can take just a few spins.Quote: bumblingfoolSpeaking specifically of the single digit bet.

#1 would probably end up costing more than #2 to get conclusive results. #2 is the way to go. Record every bet and record every spin result. Don't vary the amount of the bet.Quote: bumblingfoolSpeaking specifically of the single digit bet.

Do you think a dodgy software could activate the cheat only when the player is betting a certain amount and/or when the bets are placed on single digits or am I just being paranoid?

How many spins do you think it would take to get conclusive results?
