7. Roulette is played at a table similar to the one in Fig- ure 5.36. A wheel with the numbers 1 through 36 (evenly distributed with the colors red and black) and two green numbers 0 and 00 rotates in a shallow bowl with a curved wall. A small ball is spun on the inside of the wall and drops into a pocket corresponding to one of the numbers. Players may make 11 different types of bets by placing chips on different areas of the table. These include bets on a single number, two adjacent numbers, a row of three numbers, a block of four numbers, two adjacent rows of six numbers, and the five number combinations of 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3; bets on the numbers 1-18 or 19-36; the first, second, or third group of 12 numbers; a column of 12 numbers; even or odd; and red or black. Payoffs differ by bet. For instance, a single-number bet pays 35 to 1 if it wins; a three-number bet pays 11 to 1; acolumn bet pays 2 to 1; and a color bet pays even money.
Define the following events: C1 = column 1 number, C2 = column 2 number, C3 = column 3 number, O =
odd number, E = even number, G = green number, F12 = first 12
