What are Call Bets in Roulette?

Roulette game has always attracted lots of players. The rules are simple enough to be understood by first time players, and at the same time professional gamblers may use some techniques to make game more profitable for them. Roulette is a great way to have fun without putting efforts, like in poker or blackjack. Though roulette has simple rules and gameplay, you have to know some details before you download this game. And these details include betting.

Most of the casino players know that each of the roulette variations has two types of bets – inside and outside ones. There is also one more type, which is usually forgotten by all the players. And that is Call Bets.

Call Bets in Roulette

Call bets are also known as the Announced bets. According to game rules they are not placed at the table layout, and dealer has to bear in mind who have made a called bet. As well as all other bets in roulette, call bets are made before the winning number has been announced. Remember that these bets can be put not at all casinos, so make sure that they are allowed at the casino you play. You should also know that arrangement of numbers in these bets depend upon the wheel , not upon the layout, so if you want to place these bets make sure that you know how numbers are placed at the wheel.

Neighbors of Zero

This bet, also known as Voisins du zéro, includes all numbers from 22 to 25 at the wheel. There are 17 numbers in this bet (in European roulette they include 22,18,29,7,28,12,35,3,26,0,32,15,19,4,21,2,25).

Zero game

This bet (Jeu zéro) includes only seven numbers from 12 to 15 (12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15).

Thirds of the wheel

As the name of this bet states, Le tiers du cylindre includes the third part of the numbers (27,13,36,11,30,8,23,10,5,24,16,33).

Orphans

Unlike all other bets, this bet includes numbers which are not placed in a row. In fact, numbers of this bet are all which are left, and at the wheel they are placed between Neighbors o Zero bet and Thirds of the Wheel Bet. Numbers of Orphans bets include: 17,34,6, 1,20,14,31,9

Difficulties

System of the called bets is rather complicated, so if you are the first time player it would be better not to place these bets. The matter is that it will be very difficult for you to keep in mind that table bets (inside and outside) are completely different from the wheel bets (called bets). We recommend you first to learn the game in details, play it for some period of time and only then to start risking with making bets. Though roulette is the game of luck and winning depends on it only, you should not act unwisely, as each of your decision can spoil the game.
