European or American Wheels: Which do you prefer?

[Steve]

This is a question originally asked by Ken, but the response promoted me to write the article at link:://:.roulettephysics.com/american-or-european-roulette-wheel/

It's a GENERAL question, and assuming you haven't really studied an individual wheel's physical properties (like dominant diamonds). And it's assuming you had a choice of wheels.

@ Ken, I really think this one needs to be aired out

I'm fine with it, no problem Steve. Glad you posted it.

PREFER meaning, if its available. At my crappy casino here, we dont have 0 wheel but I'm voting for it anyways.

The better bet is the 00 wheel in Atlantic City - you only lose 1/2 of your bet on even money bets when the 0 or 00 shows - thus the house edge is only 2.63 as compared to the single 0 euro wheel and it's 2.70 house edge.

It surprises me they do that considering the intention of the double zero.
In uk...same deal on single zero.
I have NEVER seen anyone play e/c in my casino. The odd "billy big spuds" may cone out the poker room and lob £50 randomly on red or black for effect  in front of all his big spuds mates...but thats rare. It always loses btw lol
