In the USA, roulette wheels have 38 slots. They are the numbers 1 through 36, 0, and 00. Half of the numbers 1 through 36 are red, and the other half are black, so there are 18 red numbers and 18 black numbers. The numbers 0 and 00 are green. If you bet $5 on red, you win $5 if the ball lands on a red number. Otherwise, you lose your $5. In class we found your expected value from this bet was $-.26.
