    The money comes from people losing their bets.

    It’s the same as the stock market; a system of winners and losers.

    You only see the winners because the losers keep it to themselves.

        I’m not a gambling expert, but it seems to be more like horse betting where whichever outcome has more people betting on it pays out less. The money is still coming from other betters, though.

        Roulette I think is just the house vs. the player with odds favoring the house.
