I may have run out of luck on my last system, but I haven't run out of ideas.
Here's one that I've been having a lot of fun tinkering with for a while.
It's based on the 8 possible formations of 3 spins on an even chance. They are:
BBB
BBR
BRB
BRR
RRR
RRB
RBR
RBB
The first shot at a win is to bet that the last 3 decisions will repeat. We'll bet 1 unit per bet.
If we lose the first bet, we will be at -1 and must go to the 2nd shot to try to get our lost unit back.
If we win the first bet, we keep betting for the pattern to repeat. As long as we are betting on the same pattern and are winning we keep betting 1 unit. On our first loss after winning at least 1 time, we start betting on the new last 3 spin pattern to repeat.
Now, back to what happens if we lose our 1st 1 unit bet. If we find ourselves at -1 on an attack, we will start betting a 5 step martingale on the dominant even chance in the pattern. If we win on 1 of the 5 steps, we will have recovered our lost unit and must start betting 1 unit for the last 3 spin pattern to repeat.
Example:
R
R
B Next we bet 1 unit for Red which is the 1st of our 3 spin pattern.
R Win +1. Bet 1 on Red which is the 2nd of our 3 spin pattern.
R Win +2. Bet 1 on B which is the 3rd of our 3 spin pattern.
B Win +3. Bet 1 on R which is starting our pattern over again.
B Lose +2. Bet 1 on R which is the 1st of our pattern of RBB. (The +2 goes into profits)
B Lose -1. Since B is our dominant color in our 3 step pattern, we bet 1 on B. This 1 is the 1st step in our 5 step limited martingale.
R Lose -2. Bet 2 on B our dominant color and the 2nd bet in our marty.
R Lose -4. Bet 4 on B etc...
B Win 0. We are now even for this attack and we immediately bet 1 on R starting a new 3 step pattern.
R Win +1. Bet 1 on R which is the 2nd of our 3 spin pattern.
etc...
One final point. If you lose the 5 step marty, you immediately start a new attack by betting 1 on the 1st step in the last 3 step pattern.
The next time you have to bet a 5 step marty, go level 2 in the following progression.
1) 1-2-4-8-16
2) 2-4-8-16-32
3) 4-8-16-32-64
4) 8-16-32-64-128
5) 16-32-64-128-256
Once you reach a higher level in the progression, you only stay at that level until you have recovered the units lost at the previous level.
You work your way up by losing and work you way down by winning.
All ideas welcome.

Here's a tweak on the above progression.
1 If lose --> 1-2-3-7-13-25-49
2 If lose --> 2-4-8-14-26-48-92
4 If lose --> 4-8-16-28-52-96-184
The first 1, 2 & 4 represent the unit size you bet when you start trying to repeat the last 3 spins. If you lose at the first level of 1 --> 1-2-4-7-13-25-49 then you move to the 2nd level. At this level you bet 2 units instead of 1 until you get a loss on the 1st bet. Then you go into the 2-4-8 etc... marty.
If lose at the 4 level you can either stay at that level and try to dig out of the hole, or take that as your stop-loss.
I have been playing this to +50 units.

Don't blame me! :'(
Obviously no one thinks this method as posted is any good so I'll tweak it a little.
Bet the double penultimate or the 3rd spin back each bet.
Start just like above by betting 1 unit on the double penultimate. If you win, keep betting 1 unit on the double penultimate.
If you win 1 or more times and then lose, you are either even or ahead, so keep betting 1 unit until you lose. Once you lose in this situation, you are starting a new attack.
If you lose the 1st bet of a new attack, you go into the bet progression.
You continue to bet the double penultimate with the following progression.
1 This is the 1st bet of an attack. If you lose go to next
2 If you win this bet you will be at +1 so start a new attack. If you lose go to next
2 If you lose the 1st 2 unit bet you go into the parlay mode. Parlay 1 time. Must win 2 in a row.
2 Parlay from here on
3 Parlay
4 Parlay
5 Parlay
7 Parlay
9 Parlay
12 Parlay
16 Etc...
22
29
39
52
69
That's -274 units if you ever reach 69 and lose.
It will be a very rare occurrence.
Give it a test and see what I mean.
This is a killer for baccarat.
New Tweak.
Don't bet the double penultimate.
Go back to betting the last 3 to repeat. This turns single chops into mostly wins instead of all losses.
New killer progression:
If lose Bet size Number of times to bet Amt up if win
-1 1 1 +1
-3 2 1 +1
-7 4 1 +1
-9 2 4 +1
-12 3 3 0
-15 3 4 0
-19 4 4 +1
-24 5 4 +1
-30 6 4 0
-38 8 4 +2
-48 10 4 +2
-60 12 4 0
-75 15 bet 4 times from from here on small wins
-94 19 here to end of or break even
-118 24 progression
-148 30
-185 37
-235 47
-294 59
-368 74
-460 92
-575 115
-719 144
-899 180
-1124 225
-1405 281
etc........................
When I say to bet 4 times, what I mean is to bet until you win 4 times more than you lose. This is not a parlay. You always bet the same amount on a level.
Example:
Let's say we are betting at the 8 unit level. We must win 4 times more than you lose to be fully recovered from all the previous losses. You can see that if we lose at the 6 unit level we will be down 30 units. 8 times 4 wins = 32 units. It recovers our 30 lost units and leaves us +2.
This also means that if we lose the 1st 8 unit bet, we must immediately move on to the 10 unit level. But, if we win the 1st bet, then we must bet 8 units again. We must stay at this level until we either win 4 more times than we lose which will put us +32 units. Or, we lose 1 time more than we win which will require us to move to the next level.
If we win 4 in a row, we reset. If we get WLWWLWWW we will be ahead 32 units and can reset with +2 for the attack. If we get WLWWWW +32. If we get WWLLWLWWWLWW +32. If we get WWWLLWLLWLWWLWWLLWLWWLLWLWWLLWWW +32. As you see we can play for a long time at a level before we get either up 4 or down 1. Also note that we don't have to win 4 in a row. All we have to do is win 4 times more than we lose and we're good to go.
This method gives us a lot more wiggle room over the parlay method. It does rise at a faster pace, but it's not tied in to winning 4 in a row.
Also, our conscious decision making comes into play. If we are getting into the larger bets and we win 2 or 3 times more than we have lost, we can drop back down the progression to a bet size that will recover the remaining units in 3 or 4 wins over losses. This will help us to not reach our maximum bet size.
This can be changed to win 3 or 5 or 6 times more than lose if you want. You decide.
Also, I went to -1405 in the chart, no need to go that high. Pick your own cut off point.
On the other hand, you could use the 10,000 unit bank suggested in Winkel's win all you want system. You would add more levels and I'd be totally shocked if you ever had a losing session this side of eternity. The scary thing is that it is possible if not improbable to lose even with a 10,000 unit bank.
Believe me, this method wins and wins steadily.
It works for all even money bets: blackjack, baccarat, craps, etc...
Pick your poison.

Perhaps you should put this on the full systems or testing board to get more responses, now that you have tweaked it to its optimum?

I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's optimized. If you have the bank, it's looking almost infallible though.
If a moderator wants to move it, that's fine with me. I'm not so good at hyping my systems that much. If anyone's interested in this one, here it is. If not, it's still working for me and on double zero no less.
My next post, unless someone has a question, will be when I finally find the session from hell. If I don't find it, see ya on the flip side.
GLC
George,
If I understand correctly, this will fail only if you lose 26 more times than you win (because that's the length of the progression) and in the meantime DON'T win 4 more times than you lose, is that right?
I'm sure such a sequence is out there, but you may never find it. :-X

You are right Bayes.The part of the +4 wins in some point of the progression looks pretty "tricky" to me though.Well i don't play even chances at all but i like the progression and some testing never harmed anyone...

:thumbsup:
Remember, the 1st 3 bets are a mini-marty and is where you win most of your units. I've played sessions to +30 without going beyond step 3. That's sweet.
I've gone to +100 and never had to go beyond level 8.
The highest level I've had to go to is betting 37 units.
Quote from: GLC on Sep 10, 12:22 PM 2011
The highest level I've had to go to is betting 37 units.
Just so you know, the session when I had to go all the way to betting 37 units, I ended it at +5. It was a battle, but I still had plenty of ammo left.
The future of these progressions is to create one based on having to lose 2 times more than you win before having to move to the next level. Or win 4 times more than you lose to reach a new high.
This makes each level a mini-game.
Of course you can choose to lose 3 or win 4, or lose 3 or win 5 or 6 etc...
The next step is to win say 2 or 3 more than you lose and that won't fully recover your losses which means you would only move back 3 or 4 levels each win and work your way back to full recovery. This will keep the progression from climbing at such a rapid pace.
After a while, though, you will find yourself in a real grind, but if you can block losing a progression, it'll be worth it.
You can always stop and restart at the same point tomorrow.

Xxlakis, These progressions can be adapted to any bet on the table and the odds of winning are the same. In my mind 2:1, 5:1, 8:1, 11:1, 17:1 and 35:1 are just eye candy. They can win a lot-quickly, and they take a long time to lose a lot, but in the end, they're just expanded even chances. Same Odds. The configuration can take longer for the inevitable to happen, but eventually it will.
As I've stated before, what I'm trying to do with these progressions is create a bet method that gives us a lot of wins with very, very few losses. With a little luck, we can get ahead of the losses far enough that we are always winners. I emphasize the word "LUCK". Without it, you can't win long term.
No bet selection will give you a long term advantage and no bet progression will give you a long term advantage, but combine a good bet selection with a good bet progression, sprinkle on a little luck and you can go to the casino with a reasonable expectation of being able to walk out a winner today.
With a progression like this one, I recommend at least 2 each 900 unit banks. That let's you play through the 24th level 2 times. When you are winning, don't keep more than 20% for a reward every now and then. The other 80% must be added to your 1800 units. When you get four 900 unit banks, you can increase the size of your unit, but I wouldn't double it, maybe only increase it by 50%. This is where I think patience does the most good.
If you like dozens or lines or streets or whatever, you can create a progression based on these principles of win a certain number of times to fully recover vs lose a certain number of time to move to the next level. It'll be just as effective.

Check out this topic for an attempt on my part to expand the bread winner concept for all the bet locations. It can take a month of Sundays to play some of the larger payoff locations, but it should work, with patience.

Well i botted it yesterday with an extented progression of 36 steps and i let it all night on BV NZ.After 2000 spins it was still alive.If it holds second round i'll give it a shot with real money and i'll cross my fingers as always... ::)

What progression did you use? Wow, 36 steps. I like it. What's bankroll requirement for that many steps. I know it starts jumping up there on those last 10 or so. If it doesn't hold up for a long time with 36 steps, I'll be shocked.
Thanks for taking the time to do the bot. I know it doesn't just fall out of the sky. :thumbsup:

I extented the progression with your rules of recouping in 4 more wins than losses with a total bankrol of 13000 units needed but using 0.01 units it's pointless so i'll use 0.1 units with a 26 step progression.Actually making a bot is pretty fun and coding exercise so when i see a method i like and undestand fully i have it in about 1 hour ready for tests.

Right now I'm interested to see how it does on the 3,000 bet test. That's 50 hours at 60 bets per hour. I'm estimating, from my tests and making a few assumptions that it will win about 1 unit for every 10 bets. That's 300 units in 3,000 bet or about 6 units per hour of play. Of course we'll never know for sure. The profit per spin will start off very high and reality will hit home on the first loss.
If it's early, we may have negative units won per spin or if it delays for a while, we could have more than .1 units per spin wins.
Remember, I'm working toward a system that will double 10,000 units in 1 year or 500 hours of actual playing time. That's my part-time job after I retire. It'll give me something constructive to do. I'm going to divide it into five 2,000 unit banks. I have 3 years to find my system. It may already exist and I haven't found it yet or it may be a twinkle in somebody's eye. And last but definitely possible, it may either not exist or I may never find it if it does.
Thanks for your help Xxlakis.
I played it last night real money.About 3000 spins +700 units.Pretty well i guess.As i increase my balance i'll expand the progression as much as table limit allows.

Thanks for reporting XXlakis. +700 units in 3,000 spins is much better than I was expecting. Don't be surprised if you hit a correction. On the other hand, maybe my estimation was too low. Then, 3,000 spins is just a wink in time and you could be sailing on the Lucky Lady's wings.
Keep us updated.
XXlakis is having a good run which is great.
I've posted a few bet methods to play this with.
For those of you who don't like any so far, here's one to consider.
If lose bet
-6 1-2-3
-12 2-4-6 (3)
-18 3-6-9 (4)
-48 5-1015 (4)
-72 12-24-36 (4)
-108 18-36-54 (4)
-162 27-54-81 (4)
-240 40-80-120 (4)
As you can see, this is a mini-marty progression. We bet 1-2-3 until we have 4 losses in a row. We then move up to 2-4-6 until we win 3 times or lose 1. On a loss we go to 3-6-9 until we win 4 times or lose. etc...
This is D'alembert style. That means when we win the proper number of times at a level, we drop to the level immediately below that one we were on.
Work your way up the progression with losses and work your way down the progression with wins.
You can also use this method with Ego's "." topic.
Cheers
If you don't like the 3 step marty, you can drop to a 2 step marty.
It has always been my personal conviction that the optimum progression is 1-2 or 1-3.
The reason is that with 1-2 the second bet recovers the 1st bet plus a win to boot.
1-3 recovers the 1st bet with a double win to boot.
If you go 1-2-3, the 3 doesn't include a win to boot.
If you play D'Alembert, it just takes too long to dig out of a hole.
You can use a simple bet selection like the penultimate.
Progression
1-3
2-6
3-9
5-15
8-24
13-39
21-63
34-102
55-165
I hate to use the word, but progression which is similar to the fibonacci progression works very well with this 2 step bet. You can either stay at a level until you have recovered all losses or you can step up on a loss and down on a win.
1-2
2-4
3-6
5-10
8-16
13-26
21-42
34-68
55-110
89-178
That's the 1-2 progression for everyone from Rio Linda.
Second session 3600 spins +550 units.Well the profit isn't stable but as far as we don't lose everything else is good.Maximum step of progression was 24... :question: ..for whom the bell tolls??? :question:

When I say until we have 4 losses in a row, I mean until we lose the 3 step marty which will take 4 losing bets in a row. I don't mean until we lose the marty 4 times in a row. Kapish?

+550 units in 3600 spins is getting closer to what I think this will win. The problem is that I'm including a full progression loss to reach 1 unit for each 10 spins and you haven't had a loss yet.
If you keep going, I think it will be close to my prediction. Anything less than 1 unit per 10 spins is a little iffy as to whether or not it's worth the time and effort to play.
3 session total 1900 spins gain +447 units with maximum step 21.Total gain so far 1700 units.
My tests are causing me to lean to the following progression as the most stable bet method in tandem with a decent win rate:

When I say to bet 4 times, what I mean is to bet until you win 4 times more than you lose. This is not a parlay. You always bet the same amount on a level.
Example:
Let's say we are betting at the 8 unit level. We must win 4 times more than you lose to be fully recovered from all the previous losses. You can see that if we lose at the 6 unit level we will be down 30 units. 8 times 4 wins = 32 units. It recovers our 30 lost units and leaves us +2.
This also means that if we lose the 1st 8 unit bet, we must immediately move on to the 10 unit level. But, if we win the 1st bet, then we must bet 8 units again. We must stay at this level until we either win 4 more times than we lose which will put us +32 units. Or, we lose 1 time more than we win which will require us to move to the next level.
If we win 4 in a row, we reset. If we get WLWWLWWW we will be ahead 32 units and can reset with +2 for the attack. If we get WLWWWW +32. If we get WWLLWLWWWLWW +32. If we get WWWLLWLLWLWWLWWLLWLWWLLWLWWLLWWW +32. As you see we can play for a long time at a level before we get either up 4 or down 1. Also note that we don't have to win 4 in a row. All we have to do is win 4 times more than we lose and we're good to go.
This method gives us a lot more wiggle room over the parlay method. It does rise at a faster pace, but it's not tied in to winning 4 in a row.
GLC the bot is playing for 18 consecutive hours and after 4710 spins is 1200 units up with highest step 23.Your progression of "win 4 more than you lose" works pretty well i guess but i am thinking of trying the 401 "win 4 consecutive times" too.

Thanks Xxlakis,
Looks like we're getting pretty close to crashing the progression. Been lucky so far. Won't last for ever but maybe stay ahead of losses.
I think the get behind 1 or ahead 4 is a pretty hard to beat progression. It gives you a lot of chances.
It would be interesting to see how the progressions 401 compares. I'm getting the sense from playing it that it's not going to be an improvement on -1/+4.
GLC
I'm going to step back for a while from these long progression systems and start looking at something with either a flat bet or at worst a very short progression.
I have decided that having to make a huge bet with real money is not my style. It's much easier to make a lot of small bets even if it means settling for small wins. Much safer and I think I can make small bets.
It's interesting to see how we adjust our thinking as we spend more and more hours on different systems and methods and progressions, etc...
I'm starting to have more respect for Atlantis' tactic of always trying to keep the bets smaller and shoot for only a few units.
G
GLC, I agree with you on your last post. We might never win with systems (LoL sorry for being negative), but we DO learn from testing them. :D
I tried playing for fun 20$ RNG this weekend without any system at all... and I did VERY well. Maybe I was lucky, but I felt like I learned from past mistakes. I dodged many situations somebody could fall for and was ahead nicely. I don't know how, but I ended up with 800$ in the end.
Just winning 1 unit consistently would be incredible. Remember a unit can be of any size; that is something I would really want in my pocket!
I just need to find a pattern that is SO UNLIKELY that you will probably never see this in a lifetime... then build a system on top of that. It won't be the holy grail, but if it can produces at least ~1000 units before losing, I'd be a instant millionaire with what I have in mind......
