Jim, this is my basic betting strategy at the roulette table. I corner bet with one chip: 16-20; 20-24; 23-25; 28-32; and 32-36. I bet one chip straight up on 20, 26, 29, and 0 (split 0 and 00 on an American table). I bet two chips straight up on 23 and 32. I bet five chips on both the middle third and top third of the table. On the Paris French roulette table, that's $115 a spin with $5 minimum jetons. I have at least one chip touching 18 slots on the wheel, 19 on an American wheel. It also covers two thirds of the wheel on 2-1 bets at five pays ten. If I'm having success (and obviously, when leaving a third of the wheel without a bet on it, a run of little numbers is deadly, three losing spins in a row is walking time for me), I'll add two munber split bets with one or two chips per bet, usually around my favorite numbers (23 and 32). This strategy is flexible in that you can use your own favorite numbers, bet a different two thirds of the table, or modify it in any way that suits you. I was up $2600 at one point last night, ended up coming home an $800 winner. That works for me!
