Okay, first off a question about odds. What are the odds of a roulette table spinning on black (or red, even, odd, 1-18,19-36) any of those that covers almost half the board, the same one 7 times in a row?
Second question about table minimums. Say the table has a 15 dollar minimum. Does this mean that all my bets on the table must be 15 dollars or more, or all my bets added together must be 15 dollars or more total?
Thanks

Also, does anyone know of a casino in Southern California with a table minimum of less than 5 dollars?

i really am not sure on the odds you've asked about
or a casino with lower minimums, as i live in Ohio
but as for the table minimum, all of your bets total must equal the minimum, so you can have 3 $5.00 bets, or 15 $1.00 bets
sorry i could only be 1/3 helpful

I agree with the first two answers about the minumum bet.
As for the odds question, the chris is correct about the odds of winning on any given spin. They are 18/38 or approximately 47.37%. To get the odds of winning "n" consecutive times, starting with the next spin, simply take of odds for one spin and take it to the nth power. So for 7 spins the odds would be
(18/38) to the 7th power = 0.005351 = 0.5351%
Although I do not know for a fact, I doubt if there are any casinos in California with less than a $5 minimum. Because roulette usually takes two dealers if the table is at all busy, and the number of bets per hour is lower than most other table games, casinos want a minimum bet large enough to make a good profit after expenses.
Addendum:
I can tell you from experience that I have played roulette in at least a dozen casinos in mulitple countries and states, and it is far more common for the minimum inside bet to be a total of all your inside bets than a minimum per bet. So, while it may be true there is a minimum per bet at the casino Player works at, that is the exception, not the rule.

I'm afraid every-ones wrong regarding the minimum bet. A minimum bet is one that must be the minimum or over, as in if you are on a blackjack or roulette table that is $15 minimum then all your individual bets must be $15 or over you can't add your bets together to make the minimum.
A roulette wheel has no memory so the next spin is not dependant nor related to the previous.

as for the odds... if youre in america, youre probably playing on a double zero board... so the odds of the bets you mentioned is 1.05 to 1. (or you have 47.37% change of getting the win). you have the same chance of winning that no matter how time in a row you play it. and the other guy is right about the table minimum~
in my experience if you plan to have a chance to make money, you have to start off with at least enough to cover a lot of the number area. sometimes it can go well... and well... it is gambling, so sometimes not so well. i dont play the outside black/red/half bets much.
sorry, cant help you on casinos located in cali~

It is the O and OO that give the house their advantage. Find a table that has a SINGLE "O" wheel as that will cut the house advantage in half. In the long run you will still lose, but you will lose at a slower rate.
