Paragraph

There is one special way to bet which uses the the 5 numbers {0, 00, 1, 2, 3} and pays 6 dollars. This is called the "top line of basket". Notice that the use of five numbers will make getting the same expected value as the other cases impossible using regular dollars and cents. The expected value of winning in this case us
\begin{equation*} E[\text{win on top line of basket}] = 6 \cdot \frac{5}{38} - 1 \cdot \frac{33}{38} = - \frac{3}{38} \end{equation*}
which is of course worse and is the only normal way to bet on roulette which has a different expected value.
