I don't care what the EV is, when your chance of winning is 1 in 302,575,350 you're better off selling your house and betting it all on black

No, because you're not homeless if you don't win the lotto. Definitely not better off doing that.

Pfft, there's only a 52.6% chance of losing a bet on black, which means there is 47.4% chance the you could win and end up with two houses minus real estate transaction costs. And that's without going to Monaco where you can play on a 37 pocket wheel.
