The "en prison" rule is found in some casinos, but not all. When the result is 0, on even money bets, the player may be allowed to take back half their bet or leave the whole bet in for another spin. If the result is zero again, the whole bet is lost.
The "la partage" rule is similar to the "en prison" rule, except the player looses half their bet and does not have the option to leave the bet for another spin. This refers to bets like red/black, high/low, odd/even and applies when the result is 0.
Both rules cuts the house advantage on even money bets in half; a bit less on double 0 tables.
Odds

Strategy
The object of the game is to predict which number the ball will land on, in a roulette wheel. This is mostly dependent on luck, but many have tried using specific roulette systems or methods. Some will bet on a certain number believing it is "due" to come up. This is a flawed system however, because with every spin the ball will always have the same odds to land on any specific number.
