I am spreading small straight-up bets so that a single hit clears the +500 target (16×35 − 32 = 528). I'll resize stakes after each spin to cover prior losses; this keeps my bankroll alive across many spins and gives roughly a 60%+ chance of reaching the target.

Only reaching 1,500 counts, so I'm staking three straight-up bets sized so any one hit takes the bankroll to about 1,513. This keeps the cost per spin modest, leaving enough chips for many more attempts over the 19 remaining spins.

Two straight-ups at 18 chips each put 36 chips at risk, and a hit on either reaches about 1,513, past the 1,500 target. Keeping stakes small leaves enough bankroll for many more tries over the remaining 17 spins, giving about a 5.3% chance of success this spin.

I need +635 chips and only reaching 1,500 counts, so I'm playing two straight-up numbers at 20 each: a hit nets +680 and reaches the target in one spin. The cost stays low, so I can afford many more tries over the remaining 17 spins.

This is a bold play toward the target: eight straight-up bets of 25 chips each cover 8/38 pockets. Any hit returns 900 chips on the 200 staked, taking the bankroll to 1525 in a single spin while limiting total exposure to the house edge.

This is bold play toward the target: two straight-up bets of 26 each, so a hit takes the bankroll to about 1,509 in one spin. Covering two numbers per spin keeps enough chips for roughly 11–12 attempts over the remaining 15 spins, which gives more total chances than one or three numbers.

Only reaching 1500 counts. Two 28-chip straight-up bets each bring the bankroll to 1525 if either hits. Keeping each stake near the minimum needed stretches the bankroll over as many pocket-chances as possible, which gives the best odds of reaching the target on this negative-expectation wheel.
