Ok, so I'm not a mathematician and as a result, I'm having trouble coming up with the best strategy to beat this casino game. Was hoping /sci/ could help.

At my local casino, there's a money wheel game with 52 panels on it. On each panel is one of six numbers. These numbers correspond to the payout you would get if you pick that panel. The panel break down is as follows:

24x 1
12x 3
8x 5
4x 11
2x 23
1x green 47
1x blue 47

So I ask you, what is the best strategy to minimize losses and maximize winnings for this game? The best I have come up with is putting equal money on the 3s, 5s, and 11s because this way, you cover almost 50% of the board and have the potential to win bigger than 3-1. Is there a better strategy?

You can't maximize winnings. Each and every game is designed to make you statistically lose more than you earn.

I know this. But blackjack has a strategy of increasing the player advantage, and our casino uses a continuous shuffler so I can't even LEARN to count cards. I'm wondering if this game has a bet of best player advantage.

Your best bet is to invent a reasonable sounding strategy and sell it to dupes. Don't be present when they employ it.
