I understand the betting strategy of betting 2 after a loss.  But how would you handle multiple losses in a row, i.e. 4 or 5 in a row?  Would you sit out or continuing betting?
I do love the strategy though.

How would you handle losing several in a row?  Would you continue betting or sit out?
Thanks,

Results for G3M1-6

End result = +23

A peak of +25

A low of -9

2 reversals

cheers

Hello Bacply,

Suppose I had 5 bets and all were losers.....It would look like this.

Bet 1) x 1 unit.....loss  -1

Bet 2) x 2 unit.....loss -2

Bet 3) x 1 unit....loss -1

Bet 4) x 2 unit....loss -2

Bet 5) x 1 unit....loss -1

So that would hit me for 7 units. It happens! I think the longest losing run so far is 5 or 6 hands in these particular tests. (It can go more than that of course)

cheers

Updated chart....

The G3M1 stands for Geometric x 3 and the M1 part is Martingale x 1.


Koetsch's book covers flat betting

Linear betting....example: 1,2,3... (positive)

geometric betting.....example: 1,2,4,8,16... (positive)

martingale betting....example:1,2.... (negative)

He combines the above together in loads of different ways to come up with his stats.

Bally i just think about something and it will not work, but is a funny tougth, assume we get so many reversals at each game, more then the losing ones without reversals, then why not just wait until one shoe is losing and start betting when they reach zero, as they should make a - net gain - as reversals. Not sure how that would work out, but is a funny thinking process in theory :-)

Now when i think about it, all reversals is about variance getting back to a natural state after a negative state, so we get imbalance and balance with each reversal. So in theory some one could explore reversals that way.

Cheers

can someone please give me a betting example on how to use this live in a casino? use this if you could:
B PP BBBB P B PP B P BB PP BBB PPPPPP B PP B P BB PPP B P

THANKS

This is what it would like...

thank you, Let me go through this and if confused i will respond here!

No problem!

As far as using the VDW/AP....I always find using this little chart helps!

It's also worth noting that you can't get a 'mutual' bet before the 7th spin using the arithmetic progression.

So for example... looking above at the first appearance of a mutual arithmetic progression on the 9th spin....

3) B
6) B

and

5) P
7) P

So 3,6,9 would be a B and 5,7,9 would be a P. Obviously you can't play them both, so you start a new arithmetic progression.
