Worked example

If 11 lands, its 4-unit split returns 72 including that winning stake. Subtract the entire 66-unit layout to get +6; the losing components account for 62 of the units staked. If an uncovered number lands, no component returns and the net is −66. The appealing pattern is therefore many small positive spins against an occasional eleven-times-larger loss.
