Re: The Roulette Conundrum

Eric, just so I've I understand your answer: you've said that assuming we have an unbiased single zero roulette wheel (i.e one with 37 numbers rather than 38), the most probable Mode number of consecutive non-zero spins should be 25 or 26. Whereas if it's a double-zero wheel, your answer is 12 or 13 spins.)

Have I understood you correctly?

If so, I must disagree in both cases.
