Roulette players always have their own idea of what bets are the most lucrative, and most have set rules and stick to them during their session.
Some will only bet on even chances (red/black, odd/even etc), some will only play column bets, and some will completely plaster the first dozen with random chips. One of the least practiced but most effective bets are french bets. What basically happens is that the roulette wheel is split into four sections.

The largest section is called Voisins du Zero (meaning neighbours of zero), this section covers 17 numbers – it is a 9 chip bet in total, 3 chips on the 0,2,3 street, 1 chip on the split for 12/15, 18/21, 19/22 and 32/25, then 2 chips on the 25/26/28/29.
The next largest section is called Tier (meaning third), this section covers 12 numbers – 6 chips are placed on the splits between 5/8, 10/11, 13/16, 23/24, 27/30 and 33/36.
Finally the last two sections are called Orphelins (meaning orphans), this section covers 5 numbers and 3 numbers on near opposite sides of the wheel. Orphelins is the least popular of the French bets as it does not cover an entire section. 1 chips is placed on the straight up of 1, and the remaining 4 chips are placed on the splits of 6/9, 14/17, 17/20 and 31/34.
Although the numbers spun on roulette are completely random, in real casino’s it is often heard that a croupier is ‘stuck in a section’. Meaning that the ball of the last few spins has landed in the same area – if this phenomenon happens when you are sitting at a table, it is then a good idea to put your knowledge of French bets into practise!
