LOL i like your name as i am expert regarding his work.
I can see that you run numbers with notpad and by hand do some testing, cool.
It looks like you running Mac or Linux.

I also do allot of hand testing, but most regarding different even money bet selections.

Mac.
Marigny is a good start. =)

There is nothing really worth sharing from the book.

It is a little bit outdated really.

My idea of something that could work is the Guetting betting between 8-14 numbers. However that might be stretching things a little too much.

Betting 12 numbers returns 2/1. You can increase a winning bet by 50% and still retain some profit. That appeals to me as a way to get some good leverage going. Any kind of progression should not be an excuse to bet on every spin and I think a cautious approach to some of them could really help a player out.

YES.....   I bought this book in the early 90's ,soft cover, and at that time I was looking and reading and buying  books on gambling.  I tried his Fibo series at home with a set of dice  and also bought chips  .. practicing so  I could automatically make the right bet amount quickly ...  as I decided to use it on the field  bet in craps  ...  which is a bet on every roll of  the dice...

I tried it at Atlantic City  -  Caesars Palace  ... at that time I believe it was the only place that had a 3-1 in addition to the 2-1  pay off in the field .   I started the series betting $5 , $6  , $5 ,$6......

If you have the book  he has this sequence in the beginning of the series  5,6,5,6 ... if you loose  2 bets in a row  then go into the fibo series  ... this is how  I interpreted it ..and that is how  I practiced it  ....  I had about $500 - $600 on me  and bought in  for $200 .....  at first I was the only one betting  the field  but as my progressions hit people started to bet it  .. there was one  woman who would start betting after I was  2 or three bets into the progression.

Two suits  came over and stood behind the dealers watching after awhile ....  I don't remember  how long I played  but I was getting tired and eventually quit  grinding out a little over $200 profit .  I never had to reach into my pocket for more $$$$  in the series  .  BTW  I never tried it again because I think I was lucky  because the more I read about gambling progressions  the  day will come when the progression will not work...

Barstow  notes   that  progressions should be limited  because most of your hits in a progression are in the lower scale of the progression  .. of course you can start a progression and tap out without any wins also.

Later on Caesars  scrapped  the 3-1  payout in the field. 

I relocated  and do  not have the book but am thinking of re-buying it  as in the last few yrs  the area I am in now has opened a casino... I was doing some online searching and hit on this thread  so decided to reply .. I am interesting in testing  some of Barstow's  ideas  and have a good dice simulator  WIN CRAPS.

Good luck .
