Here's a simple math lesson that may help you. There are 38 spots on an American roulette wheel. When you win, you are payed as though there are 36 spots. Those extra two spots are the house's edge. In this case, that edge equals about 5.25%.
No matter what bet you make on the entire board (with the exception of the five-number 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3 bet, which is even worse) the house edge is that same 5.25%.
Thus, no matter how you split, multiply, divide, hedge, or whatever your bets, the house has a 5.25% advantage. In the short term, luck may be on your side. In the long term, the house ALWAYS wins.
