The odds for color bet in European roulette are 1,056 to 1. (or any other even-money bet)
does these odds change if "La partage" rule applies (or any of n imprisonment rules)
If it does changes then what formula to use to calculate these odds?
Thank you.

Why are the odds 1.056:1? If I bet on black, don't I win 18/37ths of the time?

37/18 - 1 = 1.0555...
Isn't this what you both are talking about?

Yeah :)
What is the result if "La partage" applies, or any of Imprisonment rules (double, tripple, infinite etc...)
Does result changes at all, if not why not?
Thank you.

WOW thank you guys for your help!!
I was looking for these numbers for a while.
This site and all of you are awesome, fast and accurate replys... great :D
Thanks and cheers!
EDIT:
so this equation is the same when calculating the odds for La partage?:
37/18 - 1 = 1.0555...
or is this one:
37/18.5 - 1 = 1.0
or this one ??:
37/18,25 - 1 = 1.02739726...
which equation is correct?
thanks.

Since all the non-zero results on Roulette balance out, you can shortcut the formula and just use the probability for zero multiplied by the payout. For example, with La Partage the payout on a zero is -0.5 so 1/37 * -0.5 = -1.35%. For ANY bet on a European wheel the payout on zero is -1 and all other payouts balance so every bet has a 1/37 * -1 = -2.7% edge, excepting special rules like La Partage and En Prison.
