I was at a casino over the weekend and was playing roulette. I was think has any one ever challenged in the courts if 0 is considered even?
I would imagine that a challenge in the courts wouldn't work because the casinos have individual house rules for each game and how they operate. For example, you've got a ton of different variants of blackjack. There are copies of the rules that can be provided to a player at his request. For example, I like to play a game called pai gow poker, and there is a "house way" that may vary from state to state or casino to casino. Every casino calls it the "house way," but it is different based on their set of written rules. Within the rules of roulette, I'm sure casinos have excluded 0 and 00 from being considered "even" numbers in roulette.
The 0 and 00 is the house advantage. If your table has a single 0 the house advantage is 2.7%, if it's 00 then the house has a 5.26% advantage. Always look for the single 0 tables. If the table was single 0 and they considered it an even number then the casino wouldn't play that game because they would not have an advantage.
As someone else earlier said, 0 is the house advantage. There are no ways to bet on 0 with outside bets (odd/even red/black/ street) and 0 can only be a single bet on its own with odds of 1 to 35 payout. You would never win a court case with the mind that 0 is an even number.

Yeah, I know that. I know the definition of EVEN. Zero fits it. I don't know why you quoted me. You should have quoted funny boy who never took a math claxx.
It is a statistical balancing act for the casino. Keep the 0 or 00 there to give you depth of choice, while upping their number of things for you to bet on, which in roulette means there are now 2 ways to lose money if you choose Black Red Even Odds or now ZEROS/GREEN. basically increases their odds of taking your money while increasing your odds in losing money, with the incentive of the off chance you actually beat the odds...which odds are never happens.
lol yeah looks like some goofed.. I specifically remember learning that zero was a even number in like 2nd grade. I probably didnt understand why at the time but I just memorized what were even and what were odd numbers.
all about roulette http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roulette Note also that 0 and 00 are neither odd nor even in this game.
just rereading bigtexx's post and I think maybe he meant in the game of roulette which is true.. zero is neither odd or even
