Payout Table
Di two six-lines get cover, but dem dey only break even afta di rest of di layout lose.
Example Wey We Work Out
If 15 land, di 2-unit corner dey return 18 including stake against 6 units wey you put: +12. If 22 land, im corner dey return 9 against di same total: +3. If 7 land, im six-line dey return 6 including stake, exactly di same as all di 6 units wey you bet: zero net. One 0 dey lose all six units.
Cost and Risk
Di layout dey cover 24/37 = 64.865% of pockets, but na only 12/37 = 32.432% dey bring profit; half of di results wey get cover na break-evenmathsBreak-evenDi point where di expected value of one bet na exactly zero, so no side get edge. E dey usually be one payout or one jackpot size.Read di whole tin →. Im expectation na (4 × 12 + 8 × 3 − 13 × 6) / 37 = −6/37. Small amount of play no fit cancel dis payoutmoniPayoutWetin bet wey win dey return, wey dem dey quote as “X to 1” on top di stake wey dem return.Read di whole tin → arithmetic. To continue “until profit come” just dey risk more six-unit spins and e no dey decide when good end go come.
Questions wey pipo dey ask
Di six-line dey gain five units without di stake wey come back, and di oda five units dey lose. Put am anoda way: im six-unit total return na di same as di whole six-unit layout.
No. One small trial no fit cancel di standard-payout expectation of −6/37 for each European spin.
Small laugh
24 numbers get cover, 12 dey bring profit, 12 dey only break even: −6/37 one spin.
