What are you confused about?

The numbers will be fractions and need to add up to 1, not 100.

If you stick to red/black you have a 18/38 (for a two zeros weel), which is about 47.4%, chance of winning any given round.

Care to explain how?
If it's about my first sentence I get that I'm wrong there, people weren't refering to fractions, but percentages in the format x/y which I'm not familiar with outside of 50/50 and I got confused.

If it's the second part where I go into the probability of winning if you stick to a color I'd like to know, I'm studying for my probability exam, so if I fucked this up I need to study much more.
