Called Bets

You can make bets called "Called Bets" at some roulette casinos. These are basically patterns of numbers on the wheel.

For example "Neighbours of Zero", refers to a group of numbers that sit either side of the zero on the roulette wheel. on a European Roulette wheel, these are the numbers between 22 black and red 25.

Opposit the "Voisins de Zero" or "Neighbours of Zero are the ""Tiers du Cylindre" between 27 and 33.

The remaining numbers on the wheel are known as The Orphans or Orphelins. (Maost of the call bets have French names thanks to the origins of the game).

House advantage

On a single zero roulette tables the house edge is 2.7%.
On a double zero roulette table it is 5.26% (7.9% on the five-number bet, 0-00-1-2-3).

The house advantage is gained by paying the winners a chip or two (or a proportion of it) less than what it should have been if there was no advantage.
