Real casino at European roulette: 2 euros straight on number 20, chance 1 in 37, if you win, payout 2*35=70 and you keep the bet!
50 euros for 12/37, pays 100 euros and you keep the bet.
You will want to play 50 dollars for 25/100, you get lousy 99 dollars when you win and you lose the bet?  | | |

seems like $2 is better spent on Pick 3 or Pick 4  "You have to be in it to win it!" | | |

Hi Inky. U made mistake. It's not,that U get $2 if U hit 1 number. exact is $99,but U get $2 only if U hit both numbers,not in ex. like 29 is exact U played 92 that's $2. | | |

Both digits $99 First digit $2 so if you played 29 and the winning # was 29. You win $99 if you played 29 and the winning # was 19. You win $2 "You have to be in it to win it!" | | |

Both digits $99 First digit $2 so if you played 29 and the winning # was 29. You win $99 if you played 29 and the winning # was 19. You win $2 In your second example, they would win nothing, because they did not match the first digit. If the drawn combination was something like 26, then they would win $2. | | |

I mite be confused btwn 1st and last digit  "You have to be in it to win it!" | | |

If I got the payouts right, your expectancy for 2 CAD is -0.84 CAD.  | | |
