I was recently reading through some old posts on another site and came across somebody talking about betting 3 ECs (as one bet) with gr8s progression.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

You can try, to play so that when a particular ec rolled two times the trigger will be, that it falls the 3rd time. You play so all ec at the same time, it will reduce the variance bad streak of one ec, as a progression you go to a higher level only when you are -3 at this level and  reduce the stakes only when you when you're  +3 at this level.  BR  400 units

What are the extreme drawdowns?
I can imagine it would be quite a stable way of playing.

I think that this is not a bulletproof strategy and at some point you lose 400 units, but I think its being able to earn more than lose.

Matt it is great you are looking into this and I think were was some fascinating work done 5-7 years ago by several writers on the forums. But ask yourself the question, what is the advantage of doing this. Why should this bet work? In other words what is the reason, the circumstances that would make this bet work, under what conditions?

The great English professional casino player Louis G Holloway used his skills to research, test and successfully win regularly using this approach in roulette. Suggest you research his writings, his guides, his hints and others who followed. He was able using pen and pencil through sheer perseverance the sliding relative data and the zone of wait and the zone of action after triggers because he knew all the graphs. It is covered a little in my early Blog notes, but I never played this way and always found it too slippery - I was just looking in the wrong place because there are answers to be found. I sense that the real most effective answers lie in extensions with all outside table bets but in situations or conditions where there is imbalance to be taken care of, and of course everyone will tell you to be wary of Gambler's Fallacy. I like dancing on the edge of this. Ignore the negatives you will encounter. Be aware of your bet characteristics and performance parameters and simply work within those to gain appropriate reward for risk expended, ie maybe modest gains per session from say +5 or to +9 units. If you do not do this the ecart corrective  tide will sweep you away.

Refer to LGH book published through the eccentric but brilliant baccarat player Lyle Stuart ( he won several tournaments) 1969 in New York. As always, to be really successful at anything you need to put in the effort. 10,000 hours is the usual professional threshold of dedication.

Thankyou XXVV
I will read up on what was researched on the subject.
I have other strategies that I currently prefer but can see alot of merit with some of the ideas mentioned. Definately worth investigating further.
