I figured that it would be easier if outcomes had names. Consider that
each Bin (where the ball lands) can contain between 2 to 14 different
winning outcomes. Each Bin() collects various Outcome()s, each
Outcome() handles the amount won. Consider the '1' Bin, it contains
the following winning Outcome()s:
 “1”, “Red”, “Odd”, “Low”, “Column 1”, “Dozen 1-12”, “Split 1-2”,
“Split 1-4”, “Street 1-2-3”, “Corner 1-2-4-5”, “Five Bet”, “Line
1-2-3-4-5-6”, “00-0-1-2-3”, “Dozen 1”. All of these bets will payoff
if the wheel spins a “1”.

I'm almost done with the Outcome() class (just writing the unittests
for it), after that I'll tackle the Bin class, at which point I will
definitely return for more questions. As I said before, thanks to
everyone who answered.
