It's not the green that fucks you up, it's the payout. Payout should be 36 to 1 for a fair(er) game. When you set it at 35 to 1, that's giving the house another advantage other than the green. Good to know.

Huh. In roulette, the green spot is pretty brilliant as it’s the “reasonable” explanation for being the odd man out on of the bets (not in: thirds, half, color, parity, corner betting, etc), so it’s incorporation fixes all those bets so they can have the otherwise “expected payout”- some house edge, but it doesn’t solve the single number payout issue, so they have to lower the payout for that bet. As it’s so high it seems reasonable. Neat
