I like meeting and networking ideas with like-minded professionals.......also I like to try to figure out whose alias are whose....

All I know is I use a mild progression and have 28 live happy shoes with this approach. Maybe it's because in my lifetime I will never come close to entering "the long term". Did you know mathematically and scientifically the bumblebee can't fly but yet it does.....

for me, I am playing this live-21 completed shoes using a negative progression and I'm quite pleased with the results.
Thanks Nick for sharing this approach!!!

I'm doing quite well with this method. For me, I see its advantages and using a slight progression helps. This approach may not be for everyone

Nick
For me I'm not so much concerned win getting more bets in as I am with being able to take advantage of what the shoe is putting out. In ADs shoes, using the 2 back restart he was able to pick up more wins due to the longer streaks. I am just testing to see if there is an advantage to using a 2 back restart on all streaks and chop wins vs my restart after a win . Like AD said playing this method consistently each and every shoe is important. Thanks for all your help with this!

AD-good call. Ima replay my last 10 shoes using a back 2 method after a streak or z....I've been playing basically after a win, restart the 9 cycle.

So AD, you are always going back 2 steps after a win to restart? This would work great on streaky shoes but not sure how it does at choppy with 2s and 1s

I have now completed 14 live shoes had have yet to have a losing shoe

The forcing a win at hand nine is an awesome idea-just 2 drawbacks-1 if what if it's a mutual bet and 2-I do not see it going to hand 9 that often

Trip report: first time playing did well for me, low stress, had several three bets and couple of surrenders to the mutual bet

Nick
I just bet a 1-2-3 progression. When I get a mutual bet something wins and I just start the new nine betting 1. I accept a 1, 2 loss and move on. However if I see a mutual on the same side like
1-3-4 I will bet double for the 5. I'm having great success with the same side mutual

I am testing that out and it seems to be working but I am using a progression. When I have a mutual bet, the side that losses becomes my new AP until it completes a cycle. I don't see mutual bets that often. I wanna see how it holds up against my other method of just accepting the loss on my progression and restart the progression on a new cycle

Nick thanks again for running those. Did you run it just on a 9 cycle until a winner or mutual bet?

On the one on the left, it looks to continue to climb

Thanks Nick for running that

Thanks Nick. Say can you run a test using a 1-2-4-8 progression and if a mutual bet comes along just stop the progression and start the next cycle with a 1 bet? Curious to see how that holds up.
Maybe a second test too please but this time after a mutual bet continue progression on the next cycle?
Thanks
