I need a little help calculating odds for a roulette game.. i'm not sure why someone would bet 1:1 odds.. to me, that just means you win your money back without making a profit.

also, 1:1+bet back doesn't seem any different than betting 2:1.. this is how I calculate it: wins = bet + bet; which is no different than how I would calculate 2:1 odds: wins = bet *2.

single number        35:1 + bet back
column bet            2:1 + bet back
low numbers   1-18    1:1 + bet back
high numbers 19-36    1:1 + bet back
evens                 1:1
odds                  1:1
red                   1:1
black                 1:1

Here is the code if anyone want to help me beta test. Critiques good or bad are much appreciated:

Program runs best in a 'windowed' dos console as opposed to 'full-screen'

#include<windows.h>

gotoxy isn't portable for a start.

Is it really necessary?

I need a little help calculating odds for a roulette game.. i'm not sure why someone would bet 1:1 odds.. to me, that just means you win your money back without making a profit

No, that's not what it means. 1:1 refers only to your winnings. Whatever amount you initially forked out is always retained (Provided that you didn't lose). The only time you don't get your money/chips/etc back is when the bank wins (which, as you probably realise, happens more often)
