Round 2: Red or Black
Round 3: Red or Black



So it can either be:

Red, Red, Red
Red, Black, Red
Red, Black, Black
Red, Red, Black
Black, Red, Red
Black, Red, Black
Black, Black, Red
Black, Black, Black

only one of those 8 scenarios represents all red = 1 in 8 chance at red 3 times in a row.
But even if you bet on red all 3 times with the same amount, there are 4 scenarios that you are going to win money. So the odds of winning something are still relatively the same.
