Ask Frank: Odds at Roulette16 January 2004
Dear Teresa, You say tomato, he says tamahto. Remember that breath commercial about Certs being a breath mint and a candy mint? The two actresses were arguing over which it was and the announcer came in with, "Stop! You're both right!" Tom is right that your odds of winning something are increased but you are right that your odds of winning on any one bet are, and will always be, the same. When you are up on all 36 numbers you must win on one and you must lose on all the others. However, you are right that your win is significantly reduced in size the more numbers you bet since the ones that didn't hit are losers. In that sense you are betting "against yourself" but in another sense you are adding to your potential to come home with some money and therefore helping yourself. This whole thing is a matter of perspective. So if you had a bet going on this dispute, you pay him and he pays you and it's a wash. Yours was a great letter and I am giving you a 6-month trial membership to my private web pages at The Craps Club. You will receive a separate email with your user name and password. All the best in and out of the casinos!
