What 10,000 Simulated Sessions of Corner Bets Look Like
We simulated 10,000 sessions of flat $10 bets on corner bets (4 of 37 pockets, pays 8:1) on a European wheel: $1,000 bankroll, stopping at $1,500 (win), $500 (loss), or 500 spins.
How sessions ended
Every standard roulette bet carries the same 2.7% house edge on a European wheel — what the payout changes is the shape of the ride. These results apply to any bet covering 4 pockets: the odds are identical no matter which specific numbers you choose.
