Bet on all 37 straight-up numbers:
Lightning-optimized strategy: lose small, win big on multipliers
Cover wheel sectors (neighbors):
Moderate coverage with concentrated multiplier opportunity
Focus entirely on straight-up bets (only bets that can receive multipliers). Accept the reduced 29:1 base payout for multiplier potential.
50% on red/black for consistency + 50% spread on straight-up numbers for multiplier chances.
Flat bet on numbers that haven't hit recently. No mathematical edge, but feels strategic. Multipliers are still random.
