Why would sample probability more than zero equal sample probability more than half?

In calculating probabilities for Roulette, my text book asks me to calculate the probability of winning after 1,000 bets.

Where spending \$1 has a $\frac{1}{38}$ probability of winning \$35 and a $\frac{37}{38}$ probability of loosing \$1.

The answer uses the formula

$P(S>0)=P(S>0.5)$ $\approx$ 1-$\phi$ $(\frac{.5+0.526 n}{\sqrt(33.21 n)} ) $

I understand from this question that the mean works out to be -0.0596 and the variance is 33.21

Why is S>0.5 the same as S>0?

Where does the 0.5 come from?

Why is 0.5 added to the mean?
