I have a book authored by Brett Morton titles "Roulette, Playing To Win"  Published in 2004.

Brett claims to win 4 out of every 5 visits to the casino.  

He has rated various betting methods from 1-10, 10 being the magic bullet that never loses.  What we call the Holy Grail.  None are rated a 10.

Here are his system ratings in short:

1.  Martingale   1 out of 10!

2.  Son of Martingale   4 out of 10. (It's wrong to increase your stakes when you lose)  

   An example would be waiting for like 6 Reds in a row before betting 3 times that Red won't hit another 3 times making 9 in a row.  Not a true martingale, bet like 2-3-6.

3.  Martingale's Cousing    4 out of 10.

   An example would be the same as #2 above, only if one of the bets wins, lock in profits by stake reduction.  Like start at 2-3-6 and if win, drop to 1-2-4 to lock in profit if a loss hits.

4.  Grand Martingale.      2 out of 10.

   He suggests an interesting twist for the real gamblers.  When you win, let it ride for a real win!

5.  Partial Parlay.   7 out of 10.

   An example is to bet 2-2-3-4-6-9-13-20 etc... Bet 2 every time you lose.  When you win, start moving to the right until you lose, or better yet, pick a number of times to win and quit before you lose that last bet which takes you back a lot of units.

6.  Fibonacci.   1 out of 10!    Not much better than the Martingale.

7.  Parlay.  9 out of 10.  This is really a pluscoup or Oscar's Grind.

   A key to his parlay method is to bet 1 unit until he wins then he starts increasing +1 unit each win and minus -1 unit when he loses.  Quit while still ahead on a winning streak.

8.  Labby.   2 out of 10.

9.  Reverse Labby.    9 out of 10.

    He really likes the reverse labby, but he suggests playing it on both sides of and even chance.

10.  Boffins Bet.      4 out of 10.  

    He presents this bet as letting the 3  1's that start the line ride on a win but after that, you only bet the original bet twice instead of letting the bet plus the winnings ride.

11.  Houdini bet.   7 out of 10.   Bet for 1 spin only.

    3 units on 1-6, 3 units on 10-15, 3 units on 22-27, 1 chip on corner 28-29-31-32.

I will summarize more of his wisdom gained over numerous years of studying roulette and finally I'll summarize him playing a session so you can see how he wins 4 out of 5 trips to the casino.

Cheers,

George

Thank you very much, George. Most interesting.

As I'm sure will be your follow-ups to this book.  :thumbsup:

Thank you!  I have seen the book on the web and considered purchasing it.  I look forward to your further posts with great interest

Thanks for the review dear GLC.

I concur with the author in giving higher score to "up-as-you-win" progressions.

Positive progressions are the way to go; either in-session or inter-session for rising base unit on casino's money! :thumbsup:

@George, I like that idea. I was explaining a method in my blog and it uses the pluscoup. I have found a few difficult sessions in my testing and the idea you presented above really prevents the bets from getting scary. It can cut them down by up to 2/3 which is a lot. It still requires a decent winning run coming along, but that would be required anyhow.

cheers.

p.s. I think I did it slightly different. On a loss I reverted back to 1 unit straight away. Having read what you wrote again, I think Brett was suggesting to reduce by 1. So for example if your bet was 8 units and you just lost, you would then go down to 7, if you lost again, you would go down to 6. The difference in what I was doing is that if I lost on the 8, I went straight back down to 1. My way will take longer to recover but will stop the bets escalating too high.

Sorry Thomas, it's a paperback.  Found it in the gambling section of a used book store.

You are right FL.  Really what he's doing is a positive progression.  Start out like a pluscoup and then play D'Alembert, but don't make a bet if the loss will wipe out all your gains.

My next post is going to talk about his win targets and stop loss.
In my case it doesn't matter.  I'm both!

Win Targets:

Brett states that the foundation for being able to win in the casino is "discipline".  Without discipline it's better stay away from the roulette table.

Next in importance is managing your money.  This incorporates establishing concrete rules made in advance and sticking to them.  Snap decisions are valid depending on circumstances, but only after you have complete control of your game which comes through practice, practice, practice.  And most of this practice is in the casino itself.  Practicing at a demo wheel has it's place, but it will not instill the fundamental disciplines needed to win over the long haul.

Okay, enough philosophy for now.

Brett has a stop loss and 4 win targets.  We start at the ground level.  Our loss limit is below ground level and our 4 win targets are above.  The win targets are named BTL or Bottom Line Target.  This is a safety net.  The next target is called Happy Point.  This is also a safety net.  Thrid is Gold-Top.  This is also a safety net.  Finally he has Jackpot.

Here's how they work.  BTL is the safety net that you can't fall below once you have reached Happy Point.  Happy point is a target that if you reach it you will be happy with that win when you leave the casino.  This is set by you and is dependent on your personal circumstances but mostly overall bank available.

Gold-Top is when you're on a roll and do even better than Happy-Point.  Once you've reached Gold-Top don't place a bet that will take you below Happy Point if it loses.

Jackpot is the undefined amount when you go even beyond Gold-Top.

So, each plateau is also a safety net for the level above.  BTL doesn't come into play until you reach Happy Point.

When setting these targets, we need to think in terms of percentages.

Loss Limit is 20% to 50% of your session bank roll.  He prefers close to 20%, but it's up to you and should be a result of knowledge gained from you experience at the casinos.

BLT is at 15-20%.  Ignore BLT until you reach Happy Point.  It's not enough to be happy with.  Better to risk you stop loss and continue trying for Happy Point.

Happy Point is 30%.  Happy Point is not your final win target.  It is a sum that is sensible in percentage terms compared to your cash for the game and enough to make you happy.

Gold Top is 50%.  It's a big win.  If you can reach Gold-Top 4 out of 5 trips to the casino, you're a professional roulette player.  Congratulations.  Remember, once you reach Gold Top never drop below Happy Point while trying to reach Jackpot.

Jackpot is an unfixed sum and only comes around on a rare occasion, but we need to prepare for it when we find ourselves in that inviable position of feeling like we just can't lose today.  Once you reach Gold-Top you have the money between Gold-Top and Happy Point to invest in going on to a figure that feels like a Jackpot.  If you don't feel that confident after reaching Gold-Top, then take your winnings and leave with a big grin on your face.  If you decide to go for Jackpot and find Happy Point safety net saving you from  a big drawdown, then you must accept the reality that Happy Point is there to make you Happy not be frustrated because you risked going for Jackpot and wound up losing below Gold-Top in the process.  That's what it's there for.

Save for the largest fighting fund you can so that when you go to the casinos you don't feel like you have to win really big percentages to leave a happy person.  If you go with a $100 bank and leave with $30 win, that doesn't feel nearly so good as going with a $1000 bank and leaving with $300 dollars.

Enough for now.  I'll continue this section on my next post with some examples and tips.

Wondeful explanation dear GLC.

I like plateaus for inter-session money management, but I guess when using the positive approach you can do exceptions to the "WIN GOAL = EXIT DOOR" approach.

I read it almost like if there were separate sessions inside a single casino visit. Don't know if it is like the author intended, but that's how I perceived it.

Cheers / Thanks for sharing.

Dear Victor,

I don't completely understand what you're saying, but Brett recommends 1 winning session per visit.  If he can go in, win and leave in 15 minutes, he's a happy camper.

He does break his session bankroll into 3 attack banks to give himself an opportunity to recover if things start out poorly.

I'm going to try a little different approach.  I am taking pictures of the pages and adding them as attachments.  This will save a lot of rephrasing.  I don't really understand the copywrite laws, so if I'm violating anything can someone more knowledeable please tell me.

These are some examples of different scenarios and how to apply his win and loss targets.

TwisterUK or Victor, if these pictures are inappropriate, please remove them or tell me and I will.

He recommends keeping a record card for every game.  

Here's what they look like and how they look when filled out.

Okay, I'm a little new at this picture stuff so some directions.

008 should have been 1st.

007 is upside down and 009 is correct.
