Full wheel order (clockwise from 0):
A Neighbors Bet covers a specific number and its neighboring numbers on the roulette wheel (not the betting layout). For example, "17 and neighbors" with 2 neighbors covers 17 and the two numbers on either side of it on the wheel. This is a 5-number bet (center + 2 on each side).
The roulette wheel has numbers arranged differently than the betting table. Neighbors are the physically adjacent numbers on the wheel. On a European wheel, the sequence is: 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2... So "zero and neighbors" (with 2) covers 26, 3, 0, 32, 15.
Each number in a Neighbors Bet is a straight-up bet paying 35:1. If you bet $1 on 5 numbers (center + 2 neighbors on each side), you risk $5 total. If one hits, you win $35 + get your $1 back, minus the $4 lost on other numbers = $32 net profit.
The house edge is the same as any straight-up bet: 2.70% on European wheels and 5.26% on American wheels. Neighbors bets don't change the odds - they're just a convenient way to cover a section of the wheel with multiple straight-up bets.
