The James Bond layout covers 25 of 37 pockets with a stake of 200: 140 on high (19–36), 50 on the six-line 13–18 and 10 on zero. It wins on most spins and loses the full stake when the ball lands on 1–12. The simulator stakes 20 × your base bet per spin, so a 10-coin base reproduces the classic 140/50/10.
Run the preset and compare how often the balance ticks up with how hard it falls on each 1–12 hit. The analysis below shows that the edge is still exactly 1/37 of the stake, the same as a single bet on red.

Every bet in roulette has a negative expectation. A betting system changes how stakes are distributed over time, not the edge per coin wagered.
400 simulated sessions of 1,000 spins with a 5,000-coin bankroll and a 5-coin base unit: 90 went bankrupt (22.5%). The median session ended at 2,380 coins.
James Bond never raises its stake after a loss, so the table maximum is never the binding constraint. Its risk comes from the house edge alone.
400 sessions per strategy, 1,000 spins each, 1,000-coin bankroll, 10-coin base unit, 5,000-coin table maximum, European wheel (2.70%). The same 400 seeds are used for every strategy.

Per 200 units staked: 19–36 returns +80, 13–18 returns +100, zero returns +160 and 1–12 loses all 200. On a European wheel that is a win on 25 of 37 pockets.
No. Every component bet has a 2.70% edge on a European wheel, so the combined layout does too. It only reshapes the outcomes into frequent small wins and less frequent large losses.
The classic version is a flat layout, and that is what the simulator plays. The bet target buttons do not apply to it because the layout is fixed.
