Green Odds on Roulette: Understanding the House Edge

Casinopakisra

In roulette, the green odds refer to the zero （0） and double zero （00） pockets on the wheel, which give the house its edge. These green pockets are neither red nor black, and when the ball lands on them, all outside bets （like red/black or odd/even） lose. This built-in advantage ensures the casino\“s profitability over time.

The presence of one green zero （in European roulette） or two （in American roulette） changes the odds significantly. For example, in American roulette with two green pockets, the house edge is about 5.26%, while in European roulette with one zero, it drops to 2.70%. Understanding these green odds is crucial for players to make informed betting decisions.
