Plateau Betting

[TwoCatSam]

 Hello

This idea worked for me a couple of years ago.  I actually persuaded Matt of Super-Roulette to program a “pause” instead of a “stop” into his robot for just this idea.

Here is how I used it. My base bet was .01.  I would set the robot to pause if I lost 100u/pennies. Most of the time, I would win my primary progression before the pause.  Sometimes I did not and I wanted to find a quicker way back to zero.  I would increase the bet from .01 to .02 and change the win/pause goal.  I would now pause at -300u (I might lose 200u more.) and I set the win goal for 100u.  All things working as they normally did, I would win my 100u back in half the time.

If I didn’t………………..

Step Two:  I am now down 300u.  I raise my bet to .03 and my pause limit to -600.  (That’s where I’d be if I lost again.)  I set my profit to 300u as I wish to regain 300u and be back at zero.

Bear in mind that each progression is exactly the same except for the amount bet.  If I win most of my primary progressions at .01, I can win most of them at .03.  I just need a larger bankroll.

If I lost again…………..

Now the progression becomes a “+ if you lose; - if you win”.  Each time you lose, you raise your base bet by .01 and your pause by 100u.  When you win, you drop it by .01 and drop the pause 100u.  This has a “feathering” effect of keeping the base bet at a reasonable level.  You must have a fairly high win rate on your primary progression or it will just go straight down!  If things work as the "should", you will start eating away at your deficit 100u at a time.  Since you win far more primary progressions than you lose, you will be back to zero in a short time.

It is early in the morning and I am bad at math anyway, so I hope this is right.  I'm doing it from memory.  I had a card by my computer back then which told me exactly what to do and when to do it.  I strive to eliminate mistakes!

But I can't find the freakin' card!!

Let me know if there are questions or comments.

Hi Sam . . .

Yes, I have seen it and will play around with it when I get finished testing the new version 7.0 of the 6 Shot Repeater.

Thanks for your help. . .
