Roulette table

I chose a legal action for this decision.

Reaching +500 needs a long-shot payout, so I bet a 42-chip straight-up, which pays 1,470 and covers earlier losses. This stake size lets me keep betting about 20 spins without going bust.

I chose a legal action for this decision.

Reaching 1500 needs +542, so a single straight-up hit at about 19 chips per number (35:1) gets there. I cover 5 numbers per spin so one hit reaches target, and spread the risk over many spins.

I chose a legal action for this decision.

A 19-chip straight-up bet pays 665 on a hit, enough to reach 1,500 from 863. It risks the least per unit of hit probability, so it can be repeated across the remaining spins.

I chose a legal action for this decision.

Needing +656 from 844, a single straight-up hit at 20 chips per number (with 3 numbers covered) nets +660 and reaches 1500 while limiting the cost per spin; the stakes can be adjusted on later spins as the bankroll changes.

I chose a legal action for this decision.

Needing +716 from 784 means a single straight-up hit is the only realistic route. Three straights at 22 chips each risk 66 and pay a net +726 on a hit, which reaches 1500 and keeps enough bankroll for many more spins.

I chose a legal action for this decision.

Need +782 from 718, so I spread 189 chips over 7 straight-ups at 27 each. Any single hit nets +783 and reaches 1500, and this is the widest coverage that does it within the 200 cap.

I chose a legal action for this decision.

Need +971 in 14 spins, so only a straight-up hit can get there. Two straights at 29 each win +986 on a hit (to 1515) and allow about 9 attempts, which gives a better chance than a single 28-chip straight.

Bankroll is already 1515, above the 1500 target, and every roulette bet has negative expected value, so skipping (which is not penalised) keeps the target secured.
