This is the second side bet in roulette I've analyzed today. What are the odds? I saw this set of side bets at the Gold Coast today. It is a way of betting three consecutive numbers on the wheel. For all the rules and analysis, please see my new page on Neighborhoods.
The question for the poll is would you bet the Neighborhood bets if playing roulette anyway?

Just another silly contrivance to fool
the uninformed and unprepared and
math challenged. Just close your eyes
and throw your chips on the layout,
you'll do just as well.

This is true.

And if you carefully record where the chips fall, and are clever, you could make a pretty precise calculation of pi.Quote: WizardThis is true.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

Well, as side bets go, having the same house edge as the main game is certainly a new tactic.
But I'm curious to see the layout. I.E. How do they track the bets?
And for that matter, why not just put a racetrack on the felt and let the players use that for traditional neighbors bets?
Thanks for the shout outs. Yeah, it's more proof that I'm right: People want a side bet for roulette. It just shocks me that with all this evidence, Galaxy Gaming has done nothing with my Poker For Roulette side bet. Sigh...

Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood? 😁

On the 3x12 layout for each number, there is a circle in each square for the Neighborhood bet.

Good point. I hate to ask, but when betting on the racetrack, how many total numbers do you get? In the electronic roulette games you can choose 3, 5, or 7.

No, they do not. Most players aren't
even aware of all the places you
can bet on the layout, let alone
want more. I hear all the time
how amazed they are when a
street is bet. "I didn't know you
could do that!"

Roulette players are generally not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Give them a more exciting way to lose their money and they will embrace it.

At Sands in PA , when you bet a number on the racetrack , your bet is split up into 20% on five numbers. You are required to bet an amount evenly divisible by 5

Unlike the brainiacs who play craps,
bac, and slots. High IQ level at those
games..

Ouch. That seems awfully tight — particularly if there are also split and corner bets.Quote: WizardOn the 3x12 layout for each number, there is a circle in each square for the Neighborhood bet.
