    If you're not inclined to play green anyway, how does it hurt you to play single zero roulette??? Just curious... Why wouldn't you play a game that takes a number off the board that will kill you, any reasoning behind this? Does your red/black bet come in more often with American roulette?

    It doesn't hurt. The house edge for American roulette (where there is both a zero and a double-zero) is 5.26%. With European roulette the house edge is only 2.13% not to mention the en prison rule where you don't immediately lose an outside even money bet should the zero hit.

      Thanks, chipper... I know better than to play roulette for real money, but do enjoy peeing my SBR points away on it... Just never grasped that two zeroes to one stuff...
