Actually, I think you will find that (mathematically speaking) the betting odds are far better on the roulette wheel, than any of Lotto, Keno, scratchies, etc. At least that is the case in Australia. Roulette wheels in Australia, have only 1 zero, but I have heard that in other countries they often have 2 zeros.
The best odds are blackjack, as long as you make the correct decision on every occasion. Further, there are only 5 decks of cards in the blackjack shoe that the dealer uses, and mathematicians have worked out a trick where if you count cards as they come out using a certain formula, occasionally a situation will emerge where (because of the cards left) the odds are above 50%. However, casinos are well aware of this, and if you hang around a blackjack table for long periods, without playing, the casino will kick you out. They are only interested in half drunk dumb customers, not smart ones.
Personally, though, I have would have absolutely nothing to do with any of them. I never ever gamble, and I hate going into a casino, even for a social event, as I find the whole thing a distasteful taking advantage of the foolish. I don’t even participate in office sweepstakes for the Melbourne Cup, if I can avoid it, without anyone noticing.
