I am not quite sure whether I understand your query correctly, nor am I 
an expert on Roulette. AFAIK, you get the best odds (and the lowest 
reward) by any of the binary bets: red/black, even/odd, low/high 
numbers. This yields an 18/37 (or 18/38 if the roulette has two zeroes) 
chance of doubling your bet, because the zero is not part of any of the 
sets on which you can bet. Note that the average return is 36/37 (or 
36/38), which is less than one, so the bank profits in the long term.
