Reason #2 why the Wizard likes Bodog:
No-hassle practice games
Most online casinos spend more effort trying to separate you from your money than they do trying to give you a good experience. They have all kinds of popup windows, they usually make you download their software, and if do they offer play-in-browser games then you have to register an account before you can play. And if you do register then they start sending you emails trying to get you to deposit real money. But Bodog is different. They have no popup windows at all, and their practice games play right in your browser, with no download, and no registration required. You don't even have to give up your email address. It couldn't be simpler: Just one click and you're playing the game. I wish all online casinos showed this much respect for their players. Other casinos practically ask for your first born child to play for free. Meanwhile Bodog is patient and does not twist anybody's arm to play for real money. You can play as long as you like for free with no obligation. The real-money games are available if that's your preference, but if not, you can play the free practice games for as long as you like without hassle. (Visit Bodog) One click and you're in:
No popups, no download, no registration, no B.S., just the game. See important note about Bodog payouts & deposits. |

| La Boule Odds | |||
| Bet | Pays | Probability | House Edge |
| Red | 1 to 1 | 44.44% | 11.11% |
| Black | 1 to 1 | 44.44% | 11.11% |
| Low (1-4) | 1 to 1 | 44.44% | 11.11% |
| High (6-9) | 1 to 1 | 44.44% | 11.11% |
| Odd | 1 to 1 | 44.44% | 11.11% |
| Even | 1 to 1 | 44.44% | 11.11% |
| 1 | 7 to 1 | 11.11% | 11.11% |
| 2 | 7 to 1 | 11.11% | 11.11% |
| 3 | 7 to 1 | 11.11% | 11.11% |
| 4 | 7 to 1 | 11.11% | 11.11% |
| 5 | 7 to 1 | 11.11% | 11.11% |
| 6 | 7 to 1 | 11.11% | 11.11% |
| 7 | 7 to 1 | 11.11% | 11.11% |
| 8 | 7 to 1 | 11.11% | 11.11% |
| 9 | 7 to 1 | 11.11% | 11.11% |
As the table above shows, every bet has a house edge of 11.11%. This is much worse than roulette, especially European roulette. So, given the choice between la boule and roulette, always choose roulette.
Thanks to Dave Hubbard for sending me a rule booklet on the game.
Malaysia Rules
The Genting casino in Malaysia has a game called French Boule. Under the Singapore rules a ball is thrown into an arena with many indentations, each with a number from 0 to 9. The total number of indentations for each number is equal.
One type of bet is on a specific number, for example 5. The probability of winning is 10%. Wins pay 8 to 1. The house edge is 10%.
Another is on a set of three numbers, in partiular 1,4, or 7; 2, 5, or 8; and 3, 6, or 9. The probability of winning is 30%. Wins pay 2 to 1. The house edge is also 10%.
