they even have the balls to offer 11-1 on green. When will the madnesses stop ?
 
I'm no mathematician, but shouldn't green be 12-1? The house would still have the edge, right?
 
Three number combo at 11-1 is a standard wager, they aren't going to up it just because the three numbers are green ;)
Except 11-1 is based on a wheel with 36 numbers and two green. So they're effectively moving the house edge that much more.

Never understood why people bet three number combo or splits or corners instead of making individual bets on each number inside to get 35-1 instead of 17-1 on a split or 8-1 on a 4 number .
 
I watched the friend of a friend at a bachelor party put $5 on red and $5 on black. Every spin, he'd lose one bet, double up on the other... I never saw it hit green, but it had to happen eventually. Important to note that this was a riverboat casino in Illinois in the mid 90's where drinks WERE NOT free for players.

Not a bad way to spend a night attar casino with friends, if you're not a gambler, I guess?

...because it's the same thing. You have to remember, the bets that don't hit are swept away. So, as far as the maths go - it's the very same outcome.

Yep. Put $3 on 1-2-3 line it pays $33 and you keep your $3. Put $1 on each number it pays $35 and you keep the chip that hit. Either way you put out 3 and end up with 36.

Of course adding another number will increase the house edge... increases it on every wager on the board. Wouldn't make much sense to bump up the payout on the 11-spot, which would decrease their standard wheel edge, unless they bump all payouts. Only reason to do that is if they were creating a "better value wheel" trying to entice players with a smaller house edge which certainly is not their intent.
 
We've seen the same thing with 6:5 blackjack.

I never looked at it that way. I feel like a dope now
