Reading the result

At £10 a spin and 50 spins an hour you wager £500 per hour and lose £13.51 of it on average. The hour-to-hour swing (±£70.71) is much larger than the expected loss, which is why sessions feel random and years do not. “Hours at expected rate” is an average; a bad hour can take a third of a £500 bankroll.

Method and assumptions

Even-money bets. Expected loss = stake × spins / 37. Swing = stake × √spins (σ ≈ 1 per unit for even money).
