Play the Low Variance Neighbour’s System
Lower Risk Neighbours Strategy – How It Works
This roulette system focuses on covering around 60% of the roulette wheel (around 22 numbers) using a combination of Announced Bets (Call Bets). This system balances high coverage with payout potential. It also includes a progression strategy to optimize betting after wins and losses.
Play this on a European Roulette Wheel (single-zero).
Core Bets:
Voisins du Zéro (Neighbours of Zero): Covers 17 numbers close to 0 (from 22 to 25). Requires nine chips.
Tiers du Cylindre (Third of the Wheel): Covers 12 numbers opposite Voisins (from 33 to 27). Requires 6 chips.
Instead of betting on all segments, you’ll choose only one of these two groups per spin, depending on your analysis of recent results or your preference.
Adding Neighbors Bet:
To reach around 60% coverage, you add a further Neighbours Bet (5 or 10 numbers) around your “hot” or strategically chosen number.
How to Bet:
Choose the Base Bet Size: Use a small base chip unit (e.g., €1) to keep risk low.
Place Announced Bets:
Option 1 (Voisins focus): Bet 9 chips on Voisins and 5 chips on a Neighbors bet. Total = 14 chips.
Option 2 (Tier focus): Bet 6 chips on Tier and 10 chips on a Neighbors bet. Total = 16 chips.
With this combination, you’re covering:
Voisins option: 22 numbers (with 5 extra neighbours~59% of the wheel).
Tier option: 22 numbers (with 10 extra neighbours ~59% of the wheel).
Adapt to Outcomes: After a spin, you decide which segment (Voisins or Tier) and which Neighbours area to focus on based on whether you are aiming for a repeating zone or an opposite zone to drop in in the next round.
Progression Strategy:
After a Win:
Flat bet (stay with the same bet amount) to maintain steady growth.
Option:
Place an extra chip or chips on a specific number within the winning zone for increased payout potential.
After a Loss:
Increase your bet size slightly to recover losses without overexposing yourself (a modified Martingale progression):
Multiply your total bet amount by 1.5× (e.g., 14 chips → 21 chips after the first loss, 21 chips → 31 chips after the second loss).
After recovering a win, reset to the original base bet size.
Example Progression (Base Unit = 1.00 per chip):
Initial Bet (Loss): 14 chips (14.00).
1st Loss Progression: 21 chips (21.00).
2nd Loss Progression: 31 chips (31. 00).
3rd Loss Progression: 47 chips (47.00).
Note: If you reach a predetermined loss limit (e.g., 3 consecutive losses), stop and reassess.
House Edge:
The house edge remains 2.7% for European roulette, as it’s based on the single 0 pocket.
Probability of Winning:
With around 59% wheel coverage:
Win Probability per Spin: ~59%.
Loss Probability per Spin: ~41%.
