mini roulette trap?
So I’m trying out mini roulette lately, mostly because it fits better for some quick sessions than full-size tables. I was thinking the odds would be better with fewer numbers, but the more I look, the more it feels like a trap. Payouts are lower compared to the standard game, and the house edge still seems nasty. Red or black feels less reliable too since one zero hits way more often out of just 13 spots.
Has anyone actually seen success playing this style long term? The variance is wild, and I’m not sure if it’s worth bothering even just for the lower buy-in. My usual approach with risk management doesn’t really apply since losing streaks hit quicker and the grind feels different. Wondering if I’m missing some method or if it’s best to just stick to classic tables.
