Just so that there's no misunderstanding

Posted by Cyrus on 6 November 1999, at 5:47 a.m., in response to Yes but..., posted by Moe on 5 November 1999, at 11:44 p.m.

Moe's cover play at the Roulette table has an expectation at every turn of the wheel of

[(18/38)*(+$3)] + [(20/38)*(-$3)] + [(12/38)*(+$4)] + [(26/38)*(-$2)] =
[$1.421052]+[-$1.578947]+[$1.263156]+[-$1.36842] =
-$0.263159

Since Moe bets $3+$2 = $5 at every turn of the wheel, that means an average expectation of

-$0.263159 / $5.00 = 0.0526318

or -5.2%, just "like the book says" for the double-zero wheel..
