Losing bets. I couldn't help myself.

I think this is more complicated than it looks, although 'neighbours' is simply a translation of the French Roulette bet it came from, I am not sure that the term 'voisins' was not used in at least three ways on a traditional French Roulette game. 1) I think I have come across the term used strictly as a 'technical' definition of the immediate numbers to the left and right of the winning number. 2) Used to describe a bet, it means the two numbers either side of the winning number, 3) used as a call bet without any other number being specified, it is taken as a nine piece traditional bet called the Voisins de Zero. (2x0.2.3, 4.7, 12.15,18.21,19.22, 2x25.29, 32.35). - (this type of bet doesn't work to cover areas on a U.S. numbered wheel). 4) I have also come across the term Voisins de la Sud Ouest, when describing a bet on one particular section of the wheel in a game in the nineteenth century, so I suspect that there are a number of other traditional French Roulette bets also referred to as 'Voisins'. If this question (as it is written) is asking for a term for the numbers strictly either side of the winning number, i.e. a three number section, it may be that this grouping was also refered to as voisins. Also - has anyone else heard of the bet 'voisins, et voisins des voisins', and is this a 7, or 9 number selection, or was this shortened to the common 'voisins' or 'neighbours' bet in use today on a 'roulette anglais' table?

The correct answer is "neighbors", however, a "neighbor bet" is normally done with five numbers (The selected number plus two on each side). Traditionally, a neighbor bet is placed in $5 increments. The payoff remains at 35 to 1 (Called 36 for 1 in some casinos, but the same dollar amount*)
A $1 bet winning on any of your 5 numbers would pay you $31. This is a $35 payoff, less the $4 to keep your four additional numbers covered with $1 each.
Your question asks for the "immediate" numbers, and I am sorry that I am not familiar with a term for one number on each side.
*Footnote: The term '35 TO 1' uses the $35 amount to express the amount you won. '36 FOR 1' expresses the total amount returned to you, including your original $1 wager. Thus, both payoffs are the same amount. The "for 1" in normally used in craps, but some casinos have begun to use it at other games to make the payoff look larger.
Hope this answers your questions.

Assuming you are talking about the position on the wheel instead of the layout, I have seen them called "neighbors" once. A high roller was handing about a thousand dollars per roll to the dealer to bet on "zero, double zero, and their neighbors." The bet was treated as a six-number bet and won if the spin came out 0, 00, 1, 2, 27 or 28.

those are user-friendly as SPLITs. In Roulette you are able to place chop up bets alongside the perimeters of neighboring numbers. If a variety hits and you have wagered on the sting of that variety you win a a million/2 or a million/4 of what hitting the forged variety could pay reckoning on the place you have placed that wager.

The neighbours are the two numbers to the immediate right and left of the winning one.
