Number Placement
To the casual observer Gambling Roulette wheel would appear that the numbers on the wheel are not organized and seem to be distributed randomly. The only obvious patterns are that red and black numbers alternate and that usually two odd numbers alternate with two even numbers. However the distribution of numbers was carefully arranged so that the sum of the numbers for any given section of the wheel would be roughly equal to any other section of equal size. Most numbers are part of a pair, with one number between them. These pairs add to either 37 or 39.

Some people and books claim that roulette wheels are biased, with a heavy side and a light side. Gravity causes the numbers in the heavy side to hit more often. This I believe used to be true when the quality of the equipment was poor. However modern roulette wheels are much better and very rigorously tested. Only in a casino using a very dated wheel may you be able to find a biased one by testing many thousands of spins. Based on stories I have heard your odds of finding such wheels are probably best in Europe.
