Everyone, at least once, has heard expressions about "zero". Many phrases have become winged and are used as aphorisms. You must have heard "bet on black, bet on red, zero still wins"; "what's in your pocket, what's in love - zero" and others.

Specific concept

It is necessary to consider what zero is in wide practice, starting from the origins of origin and the main semantic meaning. By itself, zero is, in fact, zero, since it expresses the absence of a digital equivalent. The concept gained wide popularity with the invention and development of the game of roulette. Translated from various languages, the word means:

• zero - "zero, nothing" - from Italian;
• zephirum - "nothing" - from Latin;
• zéro - "zero" - from French;
• cero - "zero, zero, nonentity, nobody" - from Spanish;
• "empty, empty, empty" - from Arabic;
• "zero point, zero" is an obsolete medieval meaning.

Use in the game

Professionals agree on zero. Any gambler will tell you that it is the drop of a number on roulette that brings the greatest profit and the advantage of winning to all gambling establishments. However, this statement only applies to bets in the event of a loss when zero comes up. But it should be noted that the zero sector is given much more attention on roulette than any other number. Zero point - this term defines what zero is in a casino.

All cells of the roulette wheel do not have a numerical order. They are numbered randomly from 1 to 36. The sector of each of the numbers is colored black and red, starting from 1 - red. They alternate with each other. Only cell 0 is highlighted in green and is called "zero". In the United States of America, most roulettes have added a second zero sector marked with two zeros ("00") and also colored green. This is the hallmark of American roulette.

666 is the sum of all the numbers on the wheel, which is why many people talk about roulette as a diabolical invention. They attribute magical properties and zero. What does this number mean for the players? Many people read that zero is something special, associated with infinity and the color of money.

Another curious fact: if you mentally divide the wheel with an invisible line from 0 to the border between 5 and 10, then the sum of each half will be 333.

The presence of a double zero is the main feature of American roulette. Casino owners understand by adding the second zero sector,that such a ratio increases the winnings of the casino several times. In Europe, the wheel with one zero is preferred.

Zeroing and initial reference point

It happens that a person experiences events after which there is a desire to start living from scratch, in other words, from scratch. "Point zero" is usually called a cardinal change in fate, the moment when the past is rethought, new life guidelines appear.

The main meanings of what zero is in life include:

• starting point;
• start again, from the beginning;
• back to basics;
• point of beginning and end of life.

In esotericism and magic, there are special rituals for "resetting" fate, allowing you to get rid of past failures and start living anew.

The number zero is a symbol of eternity, infinity, the root cause and the beginning of everything. No wonder the countdown starts from zero. Marking the beginning of life with an infinite number of possibilities - this is "starting at zero".
