Quick answer

The standard Banker and Player bets are much cheaper mathematically than the common 8:1 Tie bet.

Reference probabilities

Banker 45.8597%, Player 44.6247%, Tie 9.5156%.

Standard choices

Banker with 5% commission, Player at 1:1, Tie at 8:1, and Tie at 9:1 are included.

Interpretation

Expected loss is calculated from total action, not deposit size. Actual short-run results can be much higher or lower.
