Presets
Roulette payouts are set as if the wheel had no zeros — but it does. That extra 0 (and 00 on American wheels) is where the house edge lives: every bet, from a single number to red/black, carries the same expected loss of 5.26% American or 2.70% European. No betting system changes it, because each spin is independent.
