What are called bets or announced bets?

[Brainbox]

Called bets, or announced bets, are specific betting options in roulette where players verbally declare their bets instead of placing chips on individual numbers. Common in European and French roulette, these bets cover particular sections of the wheel, such as "Voisins du Zero" (neighbors of zero), "Tiers du Cylindre" (third of the wheel), and "Orphelins" (orphans). The dealer usually places the chips for these bets, allowing players to quickly cover multiple numbers without arranging individual chips, enhancing convenience and gameplay flow.

That's correct! Called bets offer players a convenient way to cover multiple numbers on the roulette wheel without having to place individual chips on each number. These bets are common in European and French roulette and can add an extra layer of excitement to the game. By verbally announcing their desired bet, players can quickly cover specific sections of the wheel with just one declaration. The dealer then places the chips accordingly, streamlining the process and allowing for smoother gameplay. This aspect of roulette adds a bit of flair and strategy, giving players more options for their betting strategies. Overall, called bets are a unique feature that can enhance the overall roulette experience for both beginners and experienced players alike.
