SYSTEM TESTER SESSION

[Albalaha]

I came across a benchmark session where every oldschool progression fails to perform. Check if you do have anything better:  LLLLWLLLLWLLLLWLLLLWWLLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLLLWLLLWLLLWLLLLWLLLLWLLLLWLLLLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLLLLLLLLLLWWWWLLLLWLLLLWLLLLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLLLWLLLWLLLWLLLLWLLLLWLLLLWLLLLWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLLLLWLLLLWLLLLWLLLLWLLWLLWLLWLLWLLLLLLLLWWWWLLLLLLLLWWWWLLLLLLLLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLW

I respect what you are saying.  However, without seeing an actual scoreboard I get lost in W's and L's. 

I have done extremely well with parlay wagering (pos progression) but I do not employ it every wagering opportunity I encounter.

Possibly you are referring to every hand wagering in a mechanical style, I don't know?

Any predefined way of playing could encounter such challenging outcomes. Do u have any MM that remains either winning or losing least(lesser than flat betting), if you encounter such wins and losses? This LW session acid tests any MM approach.

I test it With a simple Fibonacci
-> 1 RIGHT on a Loss
-> 2 LEFT on a Win

The total balance at the end will be -7 with a base bet of 1.

Max bet was like 987 and max drawdown -2583

All this without reset on profit the bet amount so all bet are continuesly.

With resetting the bet amount it will be in profit.

Then I have other MM that can beat this string of W/L with less max drawdown and bankroll.

I do not wager every hand Albalaha.  I wager 20-30 hands on a good shoe if I'm winning after the first 5-10 or so.

I employ 1/3rd-1/3rd-1/3rd when I win a couple of parlays with the win money.  If I am winning, I cannot give back all of my win.  If I am losing before I win, I will lose a portion of my buy-in before I stop and wait for another shoe or change tables.

Ref win.  $500 wager.  Win, next bet $1,000.  Win next next $2,000.  If I lose, I lost $500 from my risk capital of the buy-in.  If I won I am up $3,500.  I will then employ my 1/3rds with the $3,500 to continue.

I shoot for a few double parlay wins during a Section of a shoe.  I am more successful than not in completing it.  One time completing that will give me 'free' ammunition, non buy-in funds for the additional attempts.  It works for me far greater than failing me.

But, I do not wager every single hand.  If I play out a series of a Section, I might go down to half of my base wager for several consecutive hands as well.

I also set up wagers on Panda 8s, Fortune 7s, Blazzin 777s and Heavenly 9s for the side bets.  Those have been good to me over a period of time.

max bet =987 is simply non playable in normal casinos on EC bets. what kind of resetting your ar talking about?

@alrelax,
          whether you play every hand or you pause resume (start/end) by any methodology, getting such sessions are not just possible but inevitable in the long run. My question is, are you prepared for such harshness or you only wish not to face one? Parlays do not win for you, in the long run.

I pretty much explained in post #4 how I play. 

I do not have any kind of mechanical or pre-planned structured betting regime.  I wager a base unit (usually). Until I begin to win a few.  Then I parlay 1x or 2x's as I have described numerous times.

Parlaying does work for me with my winnings.  If I lose my parlay wagers, they are not from my buy-in risk capital, at least greater than my 1 unit base bet.

My buy-ins are roughly 10% of my bank roll at most.  If I lose a session or two or three, no big deal.  When I win, the first thing I do, is replenish my bank roll back to norm.  I have also detailed that out numerous times in my MMM articles. 

I am full prepared to face harsh sessions with my win money parlays, however if the session is harsh, I would have lost the session with single wagered base units anyways, IMO.

I do see your point in playing every hand, shoe after shoe.  But that is not the way I play the game.
