What Are the Odds of Getting 7 Reds in a Row on Roulette?

In the game of Roulette, players bet on where a ball will land on a spinning wheel with numbered slots. The wheel is divided into sections consisting of red and black slots, with the exception of a green slot numbered 0.

Players can bet on individual numbers, which are either red or black, or groUPS of numbers. The colors red and black alternate around the wheel, so if players bet on red and the ball lands on black, they lose their money.

The probability of any given number coming up is 1 in 38, but this doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to hit seven reds in a row. It’s just unlikely.

The odds of hitting seven reds in a row are 1 in 64,000. That means that if you were to bet on red every time and spin the wheel 64,000 times, you would hit seven reds in a row about once.

Of course, you’re not likely to spin the wheel 64,000 times in your lifetime, let alone in one sitting. And even if you did, the odds are still against you.

So while it is possible to hit seven reds in a row, don’t count on it happening anytime soon.
