dBan
−12.4 dBan

Place a split across two adjacent numbers: either number wins, covering two of the wheel’s 37 pockets.

Calculation

p = 2/37; expected net return = [(2 × €1,700) − (35 × €100)] / 37 = −€100/37 ≈ −€2.70 per €100

Assumptions

Each of the 37 numbers, including zero, is equally likely. The calculation follows French roulette anglaise rules. The average loss is over repeated plays.
