The Roulette layout is simple to understand. Every layout in the world is exactly the same, as is the way these numbers are spread around the wheel.
There are 18 red numbers and 18 black, 18 odd numbers and 18 even ones. The numbers 1 thru 18 are called lows, and 19 thru 36 are called highs.
If you were to scrutinize the way these numbers are spread around the wheel, you'd find they are systematically placed in such a way that provides a definite pattern, while at the same times containing a sense of continuity.
Zero is on the opposite side of the wheel from the double zero. One is opposite two, three opposite four and so on. There is a black number next to a red, odd next to an even, and a high number next to a low.
Take a few seconds right now to familiarize yourself with these patterns. Give yourself a little quiz. We'll set the wheel so that zero is at the top point. Now memorize all the numbers to the right of the zero. It's not hard, cause all you really have to do is concentrate on two numbers ‑ 2 and 19.
To the right of that zero and continuing all the way down to the double zero, you'll find every even number from 2 thru 18 and every odd number from 19 thru 35.
The opposite side of the wheel has every odd number from 1 thru 17 and every even number from 20 thru 36. There you've just memorized the whole wheel with the use of two keys ‑ 2 and 19.

Your next question is: "So how can this help me win?" Very simple. Suppose you wanted to play a method that called for you to cover half the table and decided to concentrate your bets in such a way that your chips would blanket the right side of the single zero. If the ball falls anywhere on the right side of that zero ‑ you're covered.
Variations include insurance bets on the left side of that single zero, but in order to know exactly what numbers you want to cover, it's imperative that you have a complete understanding of the entire pattern of that wheel and layout.
Check out the diagram in this chapter and find the dozen bets. This allows you to make bets on either 1 to 12, or 13 to 24, or 25 to 36.
A column bet offers the opportunity of taking all 12 numbers in any one of three separate columns. Both the dozens bet and the column bets pay 2 to 1.
Finally, you have the outside bets of Black/Red, Odd/Even and High/Low. They are all even money payoffs.
Just glance at the layout and then each of the upcoming chapters will explain these sections separately.
Don't be an omeygomb and act like it's not important that you know these things. Next time you're in a casino, just stand next to a Roulette table and listen to some of the questions that are asked of the dealer:
a. How much does a column bet pay?
b. Can I bet two dozen sections on the same spin?
c. If zero comes in, do I win on double zero?
d. What's a street bet?
e. Is there an insurance bet in Roulette?
f. Can I bet black and red at the same time?
And these questions come from people who are risking their money at the table. If you don't understand, don't play. If you're reading this page and don't know the answers to those questions, you better go back over these pages. But I'll print the answers just in case:
c. Of course not.
d. Three numbers in a row, starting from the number closest to the dozen boxes.
f. Yeah, and if you have two heads you could ask two stupid questions instead of one! (Incidentally, I've seen people actually make that bet.)
Quickie Quiz!!! What color are the numbers 5, 12, 15, 22, 29, 35? You should know!!
