I would take 9 squares and paint them with chips at every center, edge and side. I'm not sure what it came out to be but every 3 tries I would win at least once. When a number came out I believe it payed out 64x(not exactly sure on that number). So basically you make more than enough to sustain a betting streak like this.

I was hoping you may have more information on whether this would work in the real world. I pretty sure the dealer would not give you time to paint every corner with chips considering the speed at which these games are played with a decent volume of people.
Well that is a lot of bets lol. I'll attempt to make some sense of it

Okay, so every edge, center and side of 9 numbers. I'm assuming your playing all within one of the 12's (1-12, 13-24, 25-36) and taking 9 of the 12 numbers unconditionally and the other three through the side bets.

Some of the numbers would actually pay out a lot more than 64:1:

Ex. Every side, corner and on top of the number 1 red pays 17:1 for the split with 00, 35:1 on itself, 17:1 on the split with 2, 8:1 for the split on 1,2,4,5, 17:1 on the split on 4 and 1:1 for the bet on the first 12 for a grand total payout of 95-1 if 1 red turns up

2,5,8 would be more than that considering they have four different 17:1 bets. Two technically has five 17:1's plus 35:1 plus two 8:1's plus a 1:1 for a grand total of a 137:1

But I think you'd be making upwards of 40 different bets - problematic in many different ways. One, you'd be expending a lot of time making those bets. You may not have time to make them every round. Some casino's also cap how many bets you can make per roulette spin. Lastly, the cheapest roulette table is $1 and so you'd be making a 40 dollar bet on every spin.

But anyways, on average you'd make money considering for example, I painted 1-9 with chips. 1,3,4,6,7,9 would pay out 95:1, 2 would pay 137:1 and 5 + 8 would pay out 136:1. 10 and 12 would pay out 42:1 and 11 would pay out 67:1. Considering I hit one of those payoffs 33.3% of the time and I have to bet 40 chips to create this odds its not a winning system. So on average it takes $120 of betting to hit one of my payoffs. My biggest payoff barely covers this so on average it would not work. Of course on a lucky streak you could win big but that can be said of most games.

*Sorry about the mass-editing I think my brain couldn't take all the odd creating. I think this currently is right though
* I think all my odds are right but the amount you have to bet a round to cover 9 squares indefinitely may be a tad off.
