The strategy

• Play a single-zero (European) wheel. One green pocket instead of two nearly halves the edge.
• Look for La Partage or En Prison rules — they cut the even-money edge to about 1.35%.
• No betting system (Martingale, chasing “due” numbers, hot streaks) changes the math. Every spin is independent.
• Even-money bets (red/black, odd/even, high/low) give the smoothest ride; inside bets carry the same edge but wilder swings.

The house edge

Single-zero: 2.70% (1.35% with La Partage). Double-zero: 5.26%. Triple-zero: 7.69% — avoid it entirely.
