After factoring the zeros, the HE is 2.63% on a single-zero wheel and 5.26% on a double-zero wheel. No betting system will change that.Quote: scepticusYes.
If 2 from 3 can be reduced to 1 in 2 what is the edge.?

Are you asking about a warped wheel? If you have a 1 in 2 chance of hitting a 2:1 bet, you've got a 50% edge. If you have an 18/37 chance, you've got a 45.9% edge. 18/38, 42.1%
In the future, you might want to use the phrase "warped wheel" so that people will know what you're talking about. A lot of people seem to be assuming that you're talking about a betting system. You might be, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
EDIT: Never mind. You are.

The trick to poker is learning not to beat yourself up for your mistakes too much, and certainly not too little, but just the right amount.

Quote: ScepticusWhat is my Edge in Roulette ?
Leaving aside the zero / s for the moment.
If I bet only one column in two dozens I bet 8 numbers. This is 1/3 x 2/3 and if I win I get paid correct odds of 7 / 2.
The chance of choosing any 2 dozens from 3 is 1 in 3 , but what if I could get this down to 1 in 2 ? After factoring in the 1 zero or 2 zeros what edge do I have ?
Thanks
Why did you think this would give you an edge?
The wizardofodds.com has a great link that explains the payoff and odds of the different bets. It's a must read for all new players.

You can't get it down to 1 in 2. There are three "dozens" on a roulette wheel and therefore it is 1 in 3 at all times, no matter what the wheel sounds like or the chicken entrails revealed.Quote: scepticusbut what if I could get this down to 1 in 2 ?

I've often wondered if people actually believe this nonsense, or if it's just pure trolling.
