What are the odds of betting on red or black in roulette?

Betting on red or black and all other even money bets come with the same odds. They are the same, regardless of whether your bet is on red or on black. The only difference in odds occurs depending on which roulette version you are playing.

So if you’re wondering what are the odds of landing on black or red in roulette on the European version they are 48.6%. These odds come from the single zero on the European wheel, along with the 18 red and 18 black slots.

On the American roulette wheel, you have the added 00 slot. This means the house edge is higher, so the odds for the red and black bets fall to 47.37%.

So, based on the design the odds are more in your favour on the European version at 2.7%, while on the American one, they are 5.26%.
