Question i have two questions about the roulette wheel.my first question is what is the maxium time a color will show up in a row like red for example?second question what is the maxium times over meaning 19-36 will show up in a row?_
Answer There is NO maximum.
Assuming an honest balanced wheel of course.
Every spin of the wheel is an independent event that, IN NO WAY, is effected by prior rolls.
This is an extraordinary misconception that nearly everyone has.
Any mathematician would instantly recognize that your pseudo-question is actually NOT a question at all.
It is the near complete innumeracy of almost the entire population of the planet that permits casinos to steal your money.
They simply provide games that people will imagine they can win at, when they cannot.
Roulette is a particularly ruinous activity, especially in the U.S.A. where there is both a Zero and a Double Zero slot.

Incidentally, on May 23rd of this year, a beginner threw the dice at a Craps Table at the plush Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
She "held the dice" for 4 hrs. and 19 minutes before she threw a 7. She rolled the dice 154 times without a 7 appearing. A 7 appears more often than any other combination. Precisely 6 of 36 dice combinations, equivalent to 1/6 of the time. She established a new record for a dice table, beating the old record by more than an hour.
The dice, like the roulette ball have no memory. Every toss of the dice is an independent event !
