Noir and Rouge have the same expected value. Couleur and Inverse also depend on the color distribution by value.

Coup outcomes

Refait at 31both rows finish at 31
Tie 32–40same point from 32 to 40; the coup is void
Noir winsthe first row is closer to 30
Rouge winsthe second row is closer to 30
Couleur winsthe first card of the Noir row has the same color as the winning row
Inverse winsthe first card of the Noir row has the opposite color to the winning row

Effect of removal on the house edge

Change in house advantage after removing one card of the indicated value. Negative values reduce the edge; positive values increase it.

Couleur / Inverse sensitivity

Value-specific coefficient measuring the effect of black/red imbalance. Results are in percentage points.

Cards used to finish exactly at 31

Exact distribution of the length of one row conditional on finishing at 31.

Essential rules for reading the results

Noir is the first row and Rouge the second; the total closest to 31 wins. A tie from 32 to 40 voids the coup; a Refait at 31 is modeled by its half-stake loss equivalent. Couleur and Inverse depend on the color of Noir’s first card relative to the winning row. To connect EV, variance and capital, also use the bankroll and risk-of-ruin calculators.
