Pascal's mistake?

[Monte Carlo]

Pascal is credited with inventing roulette. I asume then that he chose which numbers would be red and black.

Does anyone know why he made such a glaring ommision in distribution. He is way to good of a mathematician to simply have missed it.

there are

8 red/even
8 black/odd

10 red/odd
10 black/even

There is no reason to have done this. It is easily fixed and would also fix other distribution anomilies.

Hello Monte Carlo. It derives much interest of reading your posts.

About RED/ODD BLACK/EVEN oddity it can be taken as:
- As a "key mystery" left by pascal for the resolution of the roulette wheel.
- Just to prove to himself that no matter the color that is given to the numbers, the result of the long term remains the same.

Hi Monte Carlo

1. Pascal didn´t invent roulette
2. He didin´t sort them up in red and black
3. He didin´t use the Zero

He was just trying to construct a Random Generator.
He meant that it would be more random when the numbers wouldn´t be sorted by their numerical order.
As we know today it doesn´t matter at all.
He sorted them up by mathematical relations as
High/Low
Sum
even/odd

The Red/Black-Order and the Zero were invented by a Monsieur Blanc (french for White).
He was searching for a system to have a house-edge without redusing the win by a percentage like it is done in Poker or Baccarat with the rake.

In order to have your classification equal you would need 40 numbers.
I can´t remember why Pascal was taking 36 numbers. I think it is kind of a "magic number"
It can be divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 which is similiar to the Fibonacci-Row

I'm almost done deciphering the single zero wheel. It should be interesting. By the way, I'm using a method known in the east as Empty.
