Thats good advice! But are there any single zero roulette tables in Vegas?</font>
Yes, Paris has at least 1 single zero wheel. Check the high limit tables. I believe Monte Carlo has one and I think there is one in the London Club at the Aladdin.

BTW, betting either the Pass/Don't Pass in Craps gives you better odds than single zero roulette. The downside is that it can take a lot longer for you to get a decision in the game.

IMO, Mini Bac is the best game to use a matchplay (assuming you just want to place that wager and not play anymore). Very fast decision and house edge lower than single zero roulette.

Another thing to consider is if the chips are valid for 'Even money bets only'. If you can use them on NON-even money bets, place the chip on any number in roulette. You will then have an expected value of about 95% of the face value of the chip vs. a 45-48% expected value on an even money bet.
