why do some roulette wheels seem to favor red or black.
Is it actually possible for a roulette wheel to end up hitting red or black more often just because of the physical setup? I get that over a ton of spins it should be close to even, but I’ve watched wheels in certain casinos or streams that seem to go on streaks where it’s way off balance for dozens of spins. I know people blame bias or say wheels get worn out and start favoring a color, but how much of that is just randomness and how much could really be mechanical or design flaw? Anyone ever tested a wheel long term or seen actual proof that bias exists outside of casino myths?
if a wheel lacked routine audits or had misaligned frets, i’d watch for real patterns, not just streaks - like in poker, misreads cost you chips, but so does ignoring basic maintenance. bet365 roulette for example skips fairness audits, so i’d trust them less than a wheel with visible checks. ever see a physical crack or chip on a real table? that’s your only shot at proving bias.
