When true odds equal payout odds, it’s called a zero expectation bet. Neither house nor player has an edge. This balance means that both sides can break even in the long run. For example, if you remove the two extra green numbers (0 and 00) from the roulette wheel, the game now becomes a zero-expectation game because it has 36 numbers — 18 red and 18 black. Any bet on red or black would be a zero-expectation bet. In other words, when you bet on one color, your chances for winning and losing are equal, just like flipping a coin.
