Hello all,
I'm betting 5 straight numbers on an American Roulette layout.
I need to be able to survive 40 spins.
Please assist by providing the bets amount that I have to apply for up to 40 spins. Thank you.

jr - The 40 spins have to fit within the table limits, so what's the minimum & maximum inside limits for the table you want to use ?

By survive, do you mean cover the losses? Then it's easy to calculate. 1 unit on straight wins 36 units. You are betting 5 numbers, so that's 36/5=7.2 spins. After that, you add 1 more unit to each number, your calculation will be 36/10=3.6 spins. Adding 1 more unit, 36/15=2.4 spins. When you get to 36/35, you only have 1 spin to cover previous losses, after that, you have to add 2 units, and that will look like (36x2)/45=1.6 spins, and so on. For 40 spins to cover losses, you would need an very large bankroll. I played this way for a while, and I regularly had to bet 2000+ units just to win a few, so it's almost like martingale.
Thank you.

John, I know that this isn't infallible, but it's another option.

I made an excel sheet. Bet 5 means 1 chip per number, bet 10 means 2 chips per number ....
If we want in every spin to have the smallest possible profir (including zero in order to shorten up the rising of the betting) the list should be like this:
SPINS/BET/TOTAL BET/WIN AMOUNT
1 5 5 30
2 5 10 25
3 5 15 20
4 5 20 15
5 5 25 10
6 5 30 5
7 5 35 0
8 10 45 25
9 10 55 15
10 10 65 5
11 15 80 25
12 15 95 10
13 20 115 25
14 20 135 5
15 25 160 15
16 30 190 20
17 35 225 20
18 40 265 15
19 45 310 5
20 55 365 20
21 65 430 25
22 75 505 20
23 85 590 5
24 100 690 10
25 115 805 0
26 135 940 5
27 160 1100 20
28 185 1285 10
29 215 1500 5
30 250 1750 0
31 295 2045 20
32 345 2390 25
33 400 2790 10
34 465 3255 0
35 545 3800 15
36 635 4435 10
37 740 5175 5
38 865 6040 15
39 1010 7050 20
40 1180 8230 30
It seems that on the 40th spin you have to bet 1180 units (236 chips per number) in order to cover the 7.050 lost units you have already bet and earn 30 units.
If zero profit is not acceptable then, on the 40th spin you'd bet 1375 units (275 chips per number)
