Testing the Star System + modifications

Hello Falkor

Here was my morning session (nice and easy)

Looking at row 6, you can see the RB (red/black) is absent 5 times. That's more than any of the other 11 e.c's. So I play the opposite of RB which is BR (black/red) using the Reverse Labouchere.

I have put the Wins and Losses as they appear down the absent RB e.c.

I played two games.

First one was a wipeout losing 2 units. The second one gave me 13 units profit before I stopped.

10K results - not looking good at all!

Hi Bob, you always use sequence 1,1? I tested Reverse Labby here: link:://:.bettingsimulation.com/ and different sequences seemed to work better, but I could never figure out the optimum.

Thanks for the link. I will have a play around with that.

1,1 is as conservative as it gets and suits me fine for now. I am studying some of the RL modifications again just to see if anything stands out. 'Mr Oops' had a modified RL which looked complicated at first glance. I will go back and take another look at that one when I get time.

Thanks for all the simulations you are doing on the various MM plans.

There is a link on this page for anybody interested in reading about Mr Oop's Reversed Labouchere strategy and also a link to the 'Midas Strategy'.

The above morning session figures were wrong and the last winning game should be +19. I forgot to add on the last 6 winning units. So the total profit from the two games was +17 instead of +11.

Since just about every other progression has been mentioned over the last few days, I thought it would be rude not to throw in the D'alembert as well

Can't say that I am a big fan of this one. Something doesn't seem right about going up when you are losing and down when you are winning. My gut tells me that it should be the other way around.

There were 9 wins vs 9 losses for a profit of +6. Biggest drawdown -21.

It is possible however that just about any progression would work just as good with these sleeping pairs. The one thing that kills all progressions is the concentration of L's. So the bets escalate out of hand with negative progressions and you will just die a slow death with something like a RL. The sleeping pairs strategy ensures for the most part a good run of W's somewhere down the line.

Not sure if the original Star System is fairing any better! The only difference with my simulation over the original method is that I don't bother combining the pre-progression chips on the initial set of a recovery session.

Will try 10K or 100K spins next time to confirm...

10K looks a bit up and DOWN still
