I chose a legal action for this decision.

I'm playing a bold 'just reach the target' plan: small straight-up bets on two numbers, sized so a single hit lifts the bankroll to at least 1,500 (1000 - 30 + 540 = 1510). This spreads the budget across roughly 38 straight-up shots over the session, which should give about a 60% chance of reaching the target, close to the house-edge ceiling.

I chose a legal action for this decision.

Reaching 1,500 needs a big swing. Four straight-up bets at 18 each would net 576 on a hit, taking the bankroll past the target in one spin. This keeps total wagering low compared with grinding even-money bets.

Under a target-only objective, the best approach is bold play. A hit on any one of these 8 straights pays enough to reach at least 1,500 (898 + 875 - 175 = 1,598), giving a 21% chance per spin within the 200-chip limit.

With 802 chips still needed, two 24-chip straight-up bets mean a single hit nets 816 and clears the 1500 target. This costs only 48 per spin, so the bankroll stays deep enough for many more attempts.

I need +850. A 25-chip straight-up win pays 875, which takes me to 1,500 even after losing the other 25-chip bet, so spreading the bankroll over two straights per spin should maximise the chance of reaching the target across the 16 remaining spins.

I need +900 in 15 spins, and the per-spin cap makes even-money grinding unlikely to get there. A 26-chip straight-up pays 910 and reaches the target in one hit, and sizing straights to the remaining shortfall lets me make roughly 17-18 attempts in total.

Bold play toward the 1,500 target. Two straight-up bets of 28 each mean either hit lifts the bankroll to 1,526, while keeping each spin's cost low enough to allow many more attempts over the remaining 14 spins.

Only reaching 1500 counts, so I am playing bold. I put 30 chips on each of two straight-up numbers, so a single hit takes the bankroll to 1538 and spreads my 518 chips over enough spins to fit the 13 remaining.

I need about +1042 chips, which calls for bold play on straight-ups. Two numbers at 31 each are each sized so that a single hit reaches the 1500 target while preserving coverage for later spins.

Bankroll is 1512, already above the 1500 target, so any bet carries negative expected value and risks dropping below the target. Skipping preserves success.
