What are the odds of winning with double twos in roulette?

What are the odds of winning with double twos in roulette? In my view as a experienced player, an outside bet on two numbers, especially two low numbers like two and two, offers poor odds of 35 to 1. Other bets yield better chances of winning. Still, a longshot win is always possible with luck on a player's side and double twos sometimes reward gamblers with an unexpected payoff.

In roulette, the odds of winning with a specific bet depend on the type of bet you place. If you're referring to a bet on a specific number, such as double twos (also known as a split bet), the odds can be calculated as follows:

In European roulette, there are 37 pockets numbered from 0 to 36. Since you're betting on two adjacent numbers (22 and 23), you have two ways to win out of 37 possible outcomes. Therefore, the odds of winning with a split bet on double twos would be 2/37.

In American roulette, there are 38 pockets due to the additional double zero (00). With a split bet on double twos, you still have two ways to win, but now there are 38 possible outcomes.

A straight-up bet on a particular number, such as 22, usually pays out 35 to 1. This implies that you would get your initial wager back plus $35 in winnings if you wagered $1 and won.
