A $10 straight-up bet on American roulette has a 2.63% chance to win. If it hits, it returns $360 total ($350 profit plus your $10 stake). Its long-run expected loss is about $0.53 per bet; the next spin can still win or lose.
What the payout means
Profit and return
aren’t the same.
Payout odds usually describe profit. The total return also gives your original stake back when the bet wins.

Check the rules behind the result
The calculator models common fixed-paytable bets, not every digital roulette variant.
Why does the wheel matter?
European roulette has one zero pocket; American roulette has 0 and 00. With standard payouts, the extra pocket lowers each bet’s win probability and raises the house edge.
Does this cover every online game?
No. The conventional 6:1 American five-number bet is included where offered, but French rules, different basket paytables, multipliers, and other variants can change results. Check the exact game rules.
