Understanding the 47 Betting Groups
One of the most powerful features of Roulette Tracker Pro is comprehensive tracking across 47 distinct betting groups. This guide explains what these groups are, how they're organized, and how to use them in your analysis.
Key Terminology: Betting groups are the categories or types of bets you can place (Red, Black, Dozens, etc.). In the Elite tier, you interact with these groups using betting chips - the clickable buttons that let you place bets on each group. This guide focuses on understanding the 47 betting groups available for tracking and analysis.
Why 47 Groups?
Standard roulette tracking only shows basic stats like red/black or hot numbers. But experienced players know there are many more ways to bet:
- Table Groups - Common (12 groups): The standard bets you see on the felt (red/black, even/odd, low/high, dozens, columns)
- Table Groups - Special (14 groups): Alternative table patterns (A/B, AA/BB, AAA/BBB, Edge/Center, Six-line groups)
- Wheel Groups (21 groups): Sectors based on the physical wheel position (Voisins, Tiers, Orphelins, alternative patterns, wheel quarters)
Our system tracks ALL 47 groups simultaneously, giving you unprecedented insight into which betting groups are hitting and which aren't.
Don't worry about memorizing these! When you're ready to place bets in the Betting Assistant, there's a visual modal next to each betting chip that shows exactly which numbers belong to that group. Click the info icon to see your favorite numbers highlighted.
The 47 Groups: Complete Breakdown
Part 1: Table Groups - Common (12 groups)
These are the classic betting groups you'll find on every roulette table. They're called "Common" because they're the standard bets most players use.
Even Money Bets (1:1 Payout - 6 groups)
1. Red (18 numbers)
Numbers: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 30, 32, 34, 36
Payout: 1:1 (even money)
Win Rate: 48.6% (18/37)
Use Case: Most popular bet. Simple, high win rate, low payout.
2. Black (18 numbers)
Numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35

- Third Dozen (25-36): Numbers 25 through 36
Payout: 2:1
Win Rate: 32.4% (12/37)
Use Case: Lower win rate than red/black, but higher payout. Popular for hedging strategies.
10-12. Columns (12 numbers each)
- Column 1: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34
- Column 2: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 35
- Column 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36
Payout: 2:1
Win Rate: 32.4%
Use Case: Similar to dozens. Good for matrix betting (combining with red/black).
Part 2: Table Groups - Special (14 groups)
These are alternative table betting patterns that go beyond the standard groups. They're organized by the Table Layout Modal under "Special" categories.
Six-Line Groups (6 groups)
Each group covers 6 consecutive numbers in two rows on the table:
- Six 1-6: Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
- Six 7-12: Numbers 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
- Six 13-18: Numbers 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
- Six 19-24: Numbers 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24
- Six 25-30: Numbers 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30
- Six 31-36: Numbers 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36
Payout: 5:1
Win Rate: 16.2% (6/37)
Use Case: Medium coverage with decent payout. Good for sector-based strategies.
Alternative Pattern Groups (6 groups)
These groups track alternating patterns on the table for advanced pattern analysis:
- A / B (Alternating Singles): Two halves of the table that alternate. Similar concept to Red/Black but based on table position.
- AA / BB (Alternating Pairs): Tracks when the same half hits twice in a row vs alternating.
- AAA / BBB (Alternating Triplets): Tracks when the same half hits three times in a row vs alternating.
Use Case: Used in the decision engine for pattern analysis. Helps identify table-based streaking vs alternation.
Geometric Groups (2 groups)
- Edge: Numbers on the outer edges of the table layout
- Center: Numbers in the center section of the table layout
Use Case: Alternative way to divide the table for positional betting strategies.
Part 3: Wheel Groups (21 groups)
These groups are based on the physical position of numbers on the European roulette wheel, not the table layout. They're visualized in the Wheel Layout Modal.
Classic French Bets (5 groups)
The traditional wheel sector bets used in European casinos:
1. Voisins du ZΓ©ro (Neighbors of Zero - 17 numbers)
Numbers: 22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2, 25
Wheel Position: The large arc from 22 to 25 (includes zero)
Coverage: 45.9% of the wheel
2. Tiers du Cylindre (Third of the Wheel - 12 numbers)
Numbers: 27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23, 10, 5, 24, 16, 33
Wheel Position: Opposite side of the wheel from Voisins
Coverage: 32.4% of the wheel
3. Orphelins (Orphans - 8 numbers)
Numbers: 1, 20, 14, 31, 9, 17, 34, 6
Wheel Position: The two small arcs not covered by Voisins or Tiers
Coverage: 21.6% of the wheel
4. Jeu ZΓ©ro (Zero Game - 7 numbers)
Numbers: 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15
Wheel Position: Immediate neighbors of zero
Coverage: 18.9% of the wheel
5. Non-Voisins (20 numbers)
Description: All numbers NOT in the Voisins du ZΓ©ro sector
Coverage: 54.1% of the wheel
Use Case: Complements Voisins for complete wheel coverage tracking
Wheel Alternative Patterns (10 groups)
Similar to table patterns but based on wheel position:
- A / B: Wheel split into two alternating halves
- AA / BB: Tracks consecutive hits on same wheel half
- AAA / BBB: Tracks triple consecutive hits on same wheel half
- A6 / B6: Wheel split into six-number sectors
- A9 / B9: Wheel split into nine-number sectors
Use Case: Advanced pattern recognition based on wheel position rather than table layout.
Geometric Wheel Divisions (6 groups)
- Right / Left: The wheel split vertically into right and left halves (18 numbers each)
- 1st Nine: First quarter of the wheel (9 numbers)
- 2nd Nine: Second quarter of the wheel (9 numbers)
- 3rd Nine: Third quarter of the wheel (9 numbers)
- 4th Nine: Fourth quarter of the wheel (9 numbers)
Use Case: Sector analysis for identifying wheel bias or dealer signatures.
How Groups Are Tracked
Real-Time Updates
Every time you record a spin, the system:
- Checks which groups that number belongs to
- Updates hit counts for all matching groups
- Recalculates expected vs actual frequencies
- Flags anomalies (groups that are hot or cold)
Probability Analysis
For each group, you'll see:
- Expected Frequency: How many times it should have hit (based on probability)
- Actual Frequency: How many times it actually hit
- Deviation: The difference (positive = hot, negative = cold)
- Chi-Square Test: Is the deviation statistically significant?
Group Win/Loss Tracking
If you bet on a group, the system tracks:
- Total bets on that group
- Total wins/losses
- ROI for that specific group
- Average profit per bet
Which Groups Should You Track?
Beginners: 6 Core Groups
- Red/Black
- Even/Odd
- Low/High
- Three Dozens
These are the simplest and most common. Focus on understanding these first.
Intermediate: Add Wheel Groups
- Voisins du ZΓ©ro
- Tiers du Cylindre
- Orphelins
If you play at live casinos, wheel bets are powerful. Track their performance.
Advanced: All 47 Groups
For serious players and data analysts, tracking all 47 groups reveals:
- Correlations between groups (when Voisins hits, does Red also hit?)
- Wheel bias detection (is one sector hitting more than others?)
- Matrix betting opportunities (which combinations win together)
Using Groups in Betting Assistant
Single-Group Cards
Your betting card targets one group (e.g., "bet on Red until you profit $30").
Matrix Betting (Elite Feature)
Bet on MULTIPLE groups simultaneously. For example:
- $5 on Red
- $10 on First Dozen
- $5 on Column 2
If number 12 hits (red, first dozen, column 2), you win on all three bets!
Group Anomalies
What Triggers an Anomaly Alert?
- Missing Dozen: One dozen hasn't hit in 20+ spins
- Missing Column: One column hasn't hit in 20+ spins
- Extreme Color Bias: >70% red or black in last 50 spins
- Long Streak: 10+ consecutive same-color results
- Wheel Sector Cold: Voisins/Tiers/Orphelins significantly under expected hits
What Anomalies DON'T Mean
Important: Anomalies are interesting statistical observations, but they don't create betting opportunities. The wheel has no memory. Just because Red hit 15 times in a row doesn't mean Black is "due."
Use anomalies to:
- Understand variance
- Recognize normal vs extreme deviations
- Avoid the gambler's fallacy ("it's due!")
Practical Example: 100 Spins Analysis
After tracking 100 spins, here's what you might see:
- Red: 52 hits (expected: 48.6) β +3.4 deviation β Hot
- Black: 45 hits (expected: 48.6) β -3.6 deviation β Cold
- First Dozen: 28 hits (expected: 32.4) β -4.4 deviation β Cold
- Voisins: 50 hits (expected: 45.9) β +4.1 deviation β Hot
- Tiers: 30 hits (expected: 32.4) β -2.4 deviation β Neutral
Interpretation: Red is running slightly hot, Voisins sector is hitting more than expected. But with only 100 spins, these deviations are well within normal variance. Not actionable.
Custom Groups (Elite Tier Feature)
As an Elite tier player, you can create up to 10 custom betting groups using your own favorite numbers. This allows you to track personalized combinations that aren't part of the standard 47 groups.
How Custom Groups Work
- Choose Your Numbers: Select any combination of numbers from 0-36
- Name Your Group: Give it a memorable name (e.g., "My Lucky Numbers," "Birthday Combo," "Hot Numbers")
- Track Performance: Your custom group is tracked just like the standard groups (streaks, absences, hit counts, deviation)
- Place Bets: Use betting chips to place bets on your custom groups in the Betting Assistant
Example Custom Groups
- "My Lucky 7": 7, 17, 27 (all numbers with 7)
- "Birthdays": 3, 12, 24, 31 (family birth dates)
- "Corner Favorites": 1, 2, 4, 5 (corner bet numbers)
- "Hot Run": Numbers that have been hot in recent sessions
Use Case: Custom groups let you test personal theories, track favorite number combinations, or create strategies based on your own observations.
Beginner Advice: Where to Start?
With 47 groups available, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Here's how to approach betting groups as a beginner:
Start with One Group at a Time
Don't try to track all 47 groups immediately. Pick one stable group and stick with it until you're comfortable. The most stable groups for beginners:
- Red or Black: 48.6% win rate, simple to understand, 1:1 payout
- Even or Odd: Same win rate and payout as Red/Black, equally stable
- Low (1-18) or High (19-36): Another 48.6% option, good for range betting
Choose What Feels Comfortable
There's no "best" group to start with. Some players prefer colors, others like dozens. The important thing is to pick one betting group and learn how it behaves over dozens or hundreds of spins.
Focus on Stability
The highest win-rate groups (Red, Black, Even, Odd, Low, High) are the most stable. They converge to their expected probabilities fastest. As you gain experience, you can explore dozens, columns, and wheel sectors.
Use the Visual Modals
Remember: you don't need to memorize which numbers belong to which group. When you're placing bets, click the info icon next to any betting chip to see the visual modal showing exactly which numbers are in that group.
