Basically, Bond is playing very simply at lower stakes. He's usually betting on the ball either landing just in an odd or even slot, or landing between 1-18 or between 19-36. Carré is placing your marker to form a square of four numbers, which is a lower chance but pays out higher. Because unrigged roulette is a pure game of chance with no strategy actually possible, Bond is just betting on whatever has the greatest odds and sacrificing big payouts for consistent wins.

This makes no sense. Even ignoring the 0 and 00 as options to reduce the odds below 50%, Bond can't have "consistent wins" with a 50-50 chance each time...
