The “Announced” or “Call” bets are bets that apply to specific sections of the wheel. There are four types of such bets, including Neighbours of Zero, Thirds of the Wheel, Zero Game, and of course, Orphans, which is the name given to the numbers that don’t fit any of the other bet categories. These bets apply to specific parts of the wheel and they offer a much better payout than other “safe” bets, such as Even/Odd or Red/Black. Most players really appreciate the opportunity to place a bet such as this as it enables them to try and win more while carrying almost the same risk.
