Because they do not know, do not care, and do not care to know. They want to pick their numbers on t heir regular game. Same as 6:5 BJ and they play that because it is what they have on the strip.
The American public is kind of stupid.

That just might be the correct answer. In Vegas there used to be a casino that had an American wheel and a European wheel about eight feet away.... The American wheel tended to get more action.Quote: AZDuffmanThe American public is kind of stupid.

Resorts World offers American for a $10 min, and Single 0 with a $20 min.
I've seen the 00 packed with suckers betting $25 and more, while the Single 0 with roughly half the HE remains empty five feet away.

Maybe the players think they win a car if ball lands in the green pocket?

Several reasons exist, some of which have already been mentioned.
1. Table limits.
If gambling on a set budget, the overwhelming majority of individuals will gravitate towards the table with lower minimums in hopes that doing so will maximize length of play.
This is very evident in 6:5 Blackjack. Lots of people will play a $10 6:5 table instead of a $25 3:2 table.
Of course, this concept should not apply whenever the limits are the same.
2. Volume of players. (Not applicable to playing online, of course.)
Many players regard gambling as a social function. The atmosphere easily becomes "us against the house".
This becomes very evident in other games as well.
I've seen two identical $10 dice tables with one completely full and the other standing dead.
A known Baccarat player walking around the casino instead of playing because there were not yet "enough other players".
Of course, things can go the other way, as many will state that they prefer playing alone, or with only a couple other players vs. a full game.
3. Previous experience leading to superstitions.
I know several individuals who still buy into deep superstitions.
Example: "I know the house has a higher edge on the American wheel, but I have never won on the European wheel."
4. Familiarity.
This is more important than most would think.
Gamblers can be lazy; many people enjoy settling into a comfort zone and leaving it at that.
The wheels are different, and if individuals have favorite numbers, chances are that most also have general knowledge of adjacent numbers, quadrants, etc.
If their method of play conforms to a double-zero wheel, many consider it a nuisance to learn a different wheel.
This is a concept that must be addressed by anyone designing a new game- people want something with which they can easily learn, understand, and become familiar. Once they do learn it, they tend to stick with it until they're broke (or it becomes unavailable).
5. Not informed, or lack of intelligence.

I will say it forever, the average player does not care; they do not know; they do not want to know. As math-challenged as the USA is why I am surprised I do not know, except I am not surprised anymore. This is a country where people spend $5,000 more on a car that saves $3,000 in gas over 5 years after all.

Familiarity.
This can be broken into mere habit, as well as people who bet on numbers and their neighbors. The number sequence on the wheels are very different.
Of course, if the betting layout includes a racetrack, that kinda negates my theory.

Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood? 😁

Indeed. I have not the slightest doubt that USA is math challenged.
stereotypical you'd think Asians would be smarter but they're not. That stereotype exists because only the smart asians make it over to the US. go look in macau and everyone's playing baccarat.
If only it stopped right there, but no. They actually believe they can win *facepalm*. Their superstition is unbelievable when you hear some of the things they say about why they think they can win.
So i'd say the world is math challenged.
