"Life comes in waves, just like the sea."

-Vinicius de Moraes

Brazilian poet, quoted by Manrique.

[VLS]

It seems in roulette waves are everywhere, just like that, in nature we also find waves all around.

We surf the roulette wave, which is also like a sea wave; success is brought by when the crest deposits ouselves in firm soil with our full bankroll replenished.

-Tanausu

I firmly believe this is the key to win: waves come in cycles; the strategy then lies in being able to identify them for betting more when one must do so.

Gianni: Master, I read your Arcanes, the Red Dragon, the Invincible Sacred, etc. I understood the concept of the NGM (Manriqueââ,¬â,,¢s Glory Number), but tell me : How do you win?

Manrique: If I had to give one and only one tool to win, I'd say: leave when you are up, winning.

Gianni: When you are winning how much, master?

Manrique: When you win enough.

Gianni: And how much is enough?

Manrique: Your stomach will tell you, or your reason, if you are attentive to what matters the most, which is winning.

Gianni: Can you be more precise?

Manrique: A good parameter is the performance of your working hour in function of your capital; if with 300 or 400 Euros you won 40 or 50 Euros in only a few minutes, hardly would you earn more outside in this time and with this amount of capital.

Gianni: And how do I know that I won't keep winning?

Manrique: As long as you are winning you continue, without compromising too much what you already won. In the example I just gave, if you already won 50, you can try with 10 or 20 if the winning streak goes on, but never compromising the totality of the amount you already won, and never your starting bank; following in this mode in plateaus while it lasts. At times you'll play 2 euros to a straight-up number which will become in 72, which added to the 50 will be 122, you take 100 apart, and bet 22 prudently, y and if the streak continues, they can become in 500 or a thousand, although I ensure you many times you will leave with 50 or something more.

As you start learning this, you start becoming less generous when risking again what you already won.

Gianni: What if I start in the minus, and I'm never up?

Manrique: Leave too, in the means of your possibilities, without losing it all.
Plenty of times a player goes to the casino with 500 euros, and is 400 down, and starts recovering until the point of being down only 100 again (he won 300 in a tram) and instead of stopping the game and start the next day the recovery of those missing 100, gets frustrated by not being able to recover it all and get back to being 400 down or losing it allââ,¬Â¦

Gianni: You mean, to play the ââ,¬Å"averages gameââ,¬ÂÃ¢â,¬Â¦

Manrique: Exactly, when in recovery mode nothing forces us to make them in one spin or in one day. Win 4 or 6 days 50 euros, lose 100 when you have to lose them, and your average will still be around 40 a day. If you lose 500 your average will be -50, ruining your bankroll and your morals. Add or substract zeroes according to the magnitude of your bankroll.

Gianni: But it can be the case that I mount up to important lossesââ,¬Â¦

Manrique: Of course, but let them be the product of you ââ,¬Å"personal dispersion", not of your lack of conduct, because in this case you will also meet positive dispersions, in your favor. Limit your loses, not your wins.

Gianni: But leaving when you are winning somethingââ,¬Â¦ doesn't it mean to limit the gains?

Manrique: And who says you wouldn't continue winning tomorrow? What it is certain is that if I win 50 and lost 10, I still have 40, and it is possible that I lose them if I continue, if I go I don't lose them. Of course, if with the 10 you win and win and winââ,¬Â¦ continue until you lose something, and stop there.

Gianni: But in the long run, play what I play, I still have the 2.7% against meââ,¬Â¦

Manrique: The enemy is not in the roulette, it is inside you; never forget it. When dispersion acts in our favor, the bank grows too since the amounts we bet also grow: focused and very profitable trams, limited by the slightest sign of change against them. When we lose, we also try those little trams to be keep being that: little in mass. Most of the time we'll be around even...

There's a policy I have: take it for what is worth and leave it where its worth ends...

In other words: Take what you feel like worthy from a person, and leave the rest of him/her alone!

"If you take all numbers in existence and then only even numbers that exist, which is bigger?
The first is bigger, although both are technically infinite."
