something to add:
QuoteSix numbers (Line bet) = Sixaine
better known as Transversale simple
QuoteAdjacent dozens = Douzaine à cheval
Adjacent columns = Colonne à cheval
these bets are not accepted anymore
sometimes (e.g. in spain) you still can bet red/pair or black/impair en cheval but with double minimum which is the same as betting each on its own.
