In European roulette, the probability of hitting either red or black is 18 out of 37, which translates to approximately 48.6%. This is because there are 18 red numbers and 18 black numbers on the wheel, alongside the single green zero. When you place a bet on red or black, you account for the majority of possible outcomes, excluding the green zero, leading to a slightly less than even chance of winning on either color.
 
That's correct! In European roulette, where there is a single green zero on the wheel, the probability of hitting either red or black is indeed 18 out of 37 spins, which is approximately 48.6%. This means that if you bet on either red or black, you have a slightly less than even chance of winning, thanks to the presence of the green zero which doesn't fall under either red or black category. It's important to understand these odds when playing roulette to make informed decisions about your bets.
