Title: Winning Percentage on Labby
Post by: IndianGuru on Sep 28, 07:03 AM 2012
Dear Forum Members:
Is the real winning percentage required for Regular Labby line to clear is only 33.34 ??  is that really true? or it is based on some 1000 spins? or more.
I have been  using Labby line for 5units (2 1 1 1) for several days and it seems to me I have to win more than 50% of the time to clear it either in Roulette or Baccarat.
I alwasy wonder weather the 33,34% based on good BS?
As usual, a person like me with a not so good BS combined with stubborn betting and with no virtual bets at all causing this to go up high?

I would really appreciated if you all shed some light on this dummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi mate

It would depend on win streaks and how you are emptying the labby. With your example

2111

Theres 2 ways to play it, 1st and last digit OR 1 digit at a time, 1st and last would require 3 straight wins as opposed to 4 wins, there has been extensive labby testing here on this forum if you search you should find a lot of info, what is BS (besides bu||sh1t)

First of all here is a full description of the Laby or Labouchere roulette system with an analysis.

To answer your question, Labouchere requires you to win 33.4% of the sips played plus the number of steps.
That means for your 4-step Laby, for 100 spins you need at least  34+4= 38 wins to end it.
Hope this is clear.

A labby is often touted as a progression method that allows you to recover 2 losses for each win.  That's because we bet the 1st and last and cross them off if we win and if we lose we write the sum of the two numbers to the end.  Thus 2 off on a win, 1 on on a loss.

The problem with the above analysis is that it's only true if we start without a line.  Then if we lose twice and win once, we will have eliminated the line.  The problem is that we didn't win anything.  Well, that's not really a problem because we didn't lose anything either.  It means that we can only win on a 1st bet.

So, we have no labby line.  We bet 1 unit.  If we win, we have 1 unit profit.  If we lose, now we write that unit down and bet the 1st and last number.  In this case that's only 1 number.  If we win, we're recovered.  Another win results in another unit of profit.

If we happen to lose two times in a row, we now have a line like this 1 1 and will bet the sum of the 1st and the last, or two units.  A loss and we have 1 1 2 and can repeat until we clear the line.

Anytime we clear the line, we are in a position to make some profit on a win.

This is the closest we can get to the 33.4% concept.

It's not a bad way to play.  It can still get a little hairy so you do need some parameters.

It needs I third winning bet, if you not split it if it goes high, then you need two third of the bet winning. Splitting the bets use to take very long time to get out from, even weeks.

I think it is rather risky.

The reverse you allways have to win two third, which is in short term possible.
