What's the odds of hitting four ZEROS in 10 spins?

[ehp6737]

Always bet on black

[Extra Innings]

My Guess?

1 in 6278211847988224

[dj_destroyer]

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

[JVP3122]

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

[robmpink]

are you playing an american or french wheel?

[bb_skoots]

38 to the 10th divided by 37 to the 6th. Cant find my calculator.

You silly bastard, it's more like 1 in 6278211847988225 .

[CrimsonQueen]

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

[head_strong]

id say very small, but anything can happen...

[hockeyman30304]

Real or sbr casino? If sbr than the odds all depend on if you bet on 0.....

[Stallion]

Almost impossible.

[ncat12]

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

[Rich Boy]

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.

[Rich Boy]

Roughly 1 in 9480

^^^^

You are right about the method , but I still calculate apprx 1 in 2,000,000 with your method.

[dj_destroyer]

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.
