    I think it's 1 in 5040 but that seems a bit low...

    Take the probability of hitting one zero on any given spin, and raise it to the fourth power.

    Stupid me. I didn't se the part about 10 spins

    Do you mean just "0" or just "00" or any combination of the two? American/European?

    nothing is impossible..out of 10? ...would /could you just break it down to hitting 0 on one spin and multiply it by 10...ie 1-out of 36..X 10...sounds good 2 me

    Assuming its European roulette, the odds of hitting zero is 1/36 = 2.777%

    Odds of hitting 4 zeros in 10 spins is very low, roughly 0.01054%

    Just use a binomial distribution to find the answer you want.

    I think the best answer was hockeymans:

    If you're betting on green, it's impossible.
    If you're betting anything else. 1 in 40.
