Roulette odds refer to the probability of winning or losing in the game of roulette, a popular casino game where players bet on where a ball will land on a spinning wheel. The odds are typically expressed as a ratio, such as "35 to 1", which means that for every dollar bet, the player could potentially win $35. The odds vary depending on the type of bet placed. For example, betting on a single number in European roulette has odds of 1 in 37, as there are 37 possible outcomes.
