It's a long read, but it's a seriously complex subject. But then chaos favors the prepared imagination.   |
I think the question is about an imaginary, perfect roulette wheel. Obviously, in practice, any single roulette wheel will have a bias. Alternatively, we could rotate through a new roulette wheel every spin, to try and average out any bias effects. Or, given a real situation, we could try to calculate where the ball will land, given some initial conditions of the throw, which is, I believe, what the stanford guys did.
