I couldnt get my head round this one. It crossed my mind that if the deck was for example 75% even and 25% odd numbers or vice versa that could have an effect but im not sure that any combination could actually benefit the casino. Maybe it cant and thats why it doesnt matter if they use the same decks for years on end (the cards were a bit shabby!)

The roulette is a different ball game (sic). I played as the table opened - it would have been nice to see 38 cards layed out on the table before I started but I guess its the same thing. Unless I know what is missing the odds dont change. If I know then I can benefit.
