They say good luck is tough to escape, but bad luck is tougher. All Roulette players have their hot and cold days. While most of the players submit to fate, a few of them decide to turn the tables. They like to be in control of the game by picking numbers that they fancy.

Casinos introduced the call bets to catch the attention of such players. The call bets in Roulette allow players to literally throw their money on the table and call out their bets. Call bets like Voisin du Zero, the Orphens, and the Tier bets are quite popular. While making call bets, the players actually bet on a block of numbers that are in the same section on the Roulette wheel. Thus, betting on such a block is referred to as block betting in Roulette. Block betting radically improves the odds of the player’s victory. Imagine the odds involved in block betting as opposed to a single number bet. It is always more likely that the ball will rest in one particular section of the wheel, while betting on blocks the players bank on this probability. Thus, experts advise players to narrow down one section of the wheel and memorise the numbers in that block. Players must then block bet on those numbers repeatedly. 1 out of 3 times, the chances are that one of those numbers will come up. As one would see, this is certainly better than betting on a single number where the odds are 35 to 1. An addition to this would be to choose any 3 of the block numbers as the banker’s number. This ensures a possibility of the player making big money if any of the 3 numbers hits.

Players must consciously take care that they do not change their blocks due to frustration. It has been observed that a player may alter his block in the middle of a game. Chances are that while the block did not win all this while, numbers from that block hit in the later part of the game.
