Voisins du Zero Roulette Strategy
Voisins du Zero ('Neighbours of Zero') is a classic French call bet covering 17 numbers in the wheel sector around zero. Hit rate 45.95%, requires 9 chips.
How Voisins works
Voisins du Zero covers a 17-number wheel sector centred on zero on European: 22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2, 25.
Standard bet size is 9 chips (one unit each), distributed across specific splits, corners and a trio.
Standard chip distribution
- 2 chips on the 0-2-3 trio
- 1 chip on the 4-7 split
- 1 chip on the 12-15 split
- 1 chip on the 18-21 split
- 1 chip on the 19-22 split
- 2 chips on the 25-26-28-29 corner
- 1 chip on the 32-35 split
Probability and EV
Hit probability: 17/37 = 45.95% on European. Expected value: same −2.70% of total 9-chip stake.
Specific payouts depend on which of the 17 numbers hit. The chip distribution is designed so every covered number returns at least the original 9-chip stake.
Strategy implications
Voisins is a high-stake, high-coverage bet. It feels like an outside bet but the chip distribution is inside-bet math.
Use it if you like the French call-bet tradition. Mathematically equivalent to any other 17-number coverage strategy.
