Not true Pete. If you play rows of 3 numbers or 6 numbers or a corner with 4 numbers the odds are increased to the house. In the example of 6 numbers, they pay 11 to 1. The odds are 6/38 or better than 12 to 1. It is like getting paid 33 chips instead of 35 on a single number. This is a significant increase in house advantage. But when I play, I play to collect chips not win money. So I cover 2/3 of the numbers and I can play for a very long time before the losses become significant. And the drinks are still free<G>.
