Number 0 — the complete card

0 pays 35:1 straight-up ($10 wins $350 profit) on every wheel. It’s green, sits outside every outside bet — defeating red/black, odd/even and high/low is its entire job, and hits 1 in 37 European spins / 1 in 38 American. Lore: the house’s own pocket — and the star of la partage, the only rule that ever discounts it.⚙ computed

On the wheel

European rim, reading 3 · 26 → 0 → 32 · 15. American rim: 14 · 2 → 0 → 28 · 9. Racetrack membership: Voisins du Zéro + Jeu Zéro — the announced bets that physically cover this pocket (math here). “Neighbour” talk means the rim, never the felt — two different maps.

On the felt

Zero crowns the grid above 1-2-3: splits with each of them (17:1), the 0-1-2 and 0-2-3 trios (11:1), and the four-way first-corner 0-1-2-3 (8:1).

Betting 0 — the honest numbers

At $10 per spin, 100 spins of straight 0 wagers cost an expected $27 on European wheels and $53 on American — identical to any bet, wrapped in maximum volatility (SD 5.8). Back-to-back 0: 1 in 1,369. In our 3.7-million-spin reference run, 0 landed 99,684 times against 100,000 expected (-0.32%) — textbook uniformity, the same verdict every number gets.

Frequently asked

What does 0 pay in roulette?
35 to 1 straight-up — a $10 bet returns $350 profit plus your stake. Splits touching 0 pay 17:1, its street 11:1, and the 0-1-2-3 corner 8:1.
Is 0 red or black in roulette?
Neither — 0 is green, and by rule it’s also neither odd nor even, high nor low: green’s job is defeating every outside bet.
What are the neighbours of 0 on the wheel?
European rim: 26 and 32 adjacent, 3 and 15 beyond — a five-number “neighbours” call covers exactly this arc. Felt neighbours are different animals — wheel order and grid order share nothing.
