In the world of roulette, a split street pays out according to the house edge. This means that on any given spin, the house will win a portion of the bet while the player loses a portion.
So, if you are playing with a split street, it is important to understand how it affects your chances of winning.
Generally speaking, when a street is split, the house edge goes up by 1%. This means that on average, for every $100 wagered in roulette, the house will win $1.01.
So if you are playing with a split street and bet $100, your chances of winning are actually slightly worse than if you were to bet $101.01 (1% less).
However, this doesn’t mean that split streets are completely worthless in roulette. On average, they still pay out at around .
8% (or $80 per $1000 wagered). So even though your chances of winning decrease slightly when playing with a split street, it’s usually not enough to cause you to lose money overall.
