I would put £5 on one of the 50/50 bets (let's ignore that inconvenient zero for a moment), so Odds or Evens, Black or Red, first 18 or second 18. If that wins, I'm out of there with my £160.

If it doesn't win, I'm now left with £150, so I'll double my bet, and put down £10 on a 50/50 bet. If I win, I've got my £160. If not, I again double my bet, and so on until I either get my £160 or am wiped out.
Yes, I believe that is indeed the best strategy. one point to you.

For two points, what are the odds of getting £160? (& no, you may not ignore the zero*!).



*European table. No double zero. (Greedy American Casino Owners!)
