What is a "call bet" in roulette?

[Bily-05]

A "call bet" in roulette, also known as a "neighbour bet" or a "announced bet," is a type of bet where a player verbally announces their intended bet to the dealer instead of placing chips directly on the betting layout. Call bets are common in European and French Roulette and offer a way for players to bet on specific combinations of numbers or sections of the wheel more easily.

Here's how call bets work:The player informs the dealer of their desired bet, typically specifying the type of bet (e.g., Voisins du Zéro, Orphelins, Tiers du Cylindre).

The dealer then places the appropriate bets on the player's behalf.

Call bets can cover multiple numbers and are often used for more complex betting combinations that are not easy to replicate with standard chips on the table layout.These bets are particularly popular in European and French Roulette variations, where they add an extra layer of betting options and excitement to the game.

It's worth noting that call bets may have minimum and maximum limits, depending on the casino's rules and the specific roulette table you're playing at. Players should be familiar with the call bets available in their chosen variant of roulette and understand the associated payouts and odds.

"Call bets" in roulette are a category of bets that are typically found in European and French roulette, and they differ from standard bets in that they involve a different betting process and a set of specific combinations or patterns of numbers on the roulette wheel. Call bets are often made by announcing the intended bet to the dealer or croupier, rather than placing chips directly on the betting layout.

A "call bet" is a type of bet that is commonly used in French roulette. It is a bet that is announced to the croupier before the ball is dropped into the wheel. The player then places their chips on the layout after the ball has been dropped.
