Clean up before Move up!

[GLC]

I really like this bet method.

I have used it in many of my unholy grail systems.

I will explain for even chances but it can be adapted to any bet location.

I call it clean up before move up because we are going to clean up the previous level of losses before moving up the ladder on our bet size.  Okay, I was talking about 3 levels in the last sentence.

The 1st level must be cleaned up by the 2nd level before we can move to the 3rd level which cleans up the 2nd level before we can move to the 4th level to clean up the 3rd level, etc....

We start by betting 1 unit until we lose.  Once we lose a 1 unit bet, we write a 1 on our recovery line and we start betting at the 2nd level until we recover our 1 unit loss.  That could be one bet or multiple bets if we lose one or more 2nd level bets before winning one.  Every time we lose at the 2nd level we write the size of our bet down to the right of the 1 and these lost bets must also be recovered.

Examples:  Say we have this pattern.  WWWLLLWWW  Our recovery line would look like this:

Bet 1 unit   W   +1   Total = +1
Bet 1 unit   W   +1   Total = +2
Bet 1 unit   W   +1   Total = +3
Bet 1 unit   L     -1   Recovery line =  1  Recovery total = -1
Bet 2 units  L     -2   Recovery line =  1 2 Recovery total = -3
Bet 2 units  L     -2   Recovery line =  1 2 2 Recovery total = -5
Bet 2 units  W   +2  Recovery line = 1 2 2  Win X's off the 1 Recovery total = -3
Bet 3 units  W   +3  Recovery line =  1 2 2  Win X's off the 2 Recovery total = 0
Bet 3 units  W   +3  Recovery line =  1 2 2  Win X's off the 2 Recovery total = +3 
Grand Total = +6

Notice that every win adds 1 unit to the total.
We lost 5 units on the 3 losses but we won 8 units on the 3 recovery wins netting +3.

Another example:

This is our W/L line:  LLLWWLLWW

Bet  1 unit  L    -1  Line = 1   Recovery total = -1
Bet  2 unit  L    -2  Line = 1 2  Recovery total = -3
Bet  2 unit  L    -2  Line = 1 2 2  Recovery total = -5
Bet  2 unit  W  +2  Line = 1 2 2 Recovery total = -3
Bet  3 unit  W  +3  Line = 1 2 2  Recovery total = 0
Bet  3 unit  L    -3  Line = 1 2 2 3  Recovery total =-3
Bet  3 unit  L    -3  Line = 1 2 2 3 3  Recovery total = -6
Bet  3 unit  W   +3 Line = 1 2 2 3 3  Recovery total = -3
Bet  4 unit  W   +4 Line = 1 2 2 3 3  Recovery total = +1
Grand total +1.
Reset to betting 1 unit.

Please note that our Wins are less than our Losses but we're still +1 for the recovery series. 
We still had 1 more loss to recover, but since we don't need it to reach a new high level, no sense in risking starting a losing streak while betting 4 units.  If we're going into a losing streak, and we never know when that will happen, better to start while betting 1 unit than 4.

The progression line I showed you is based on a 1 unit increase per level or: 1,2,3,4,5, etc...

For more aggressive play you can use: 1,3,5,7,9, etc...

Or for very aggressive play you can use: 1,4,7,10,13, etc...

I like to start out with an aggressive line and if things are going bad I revert to a less aggressive line such as: 1,3,5,6,7,8,9, etc...

Since most of the time I will be winning on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd bet, I want to win more on those 3 steps.  Fewer and fewer series go beyond the 4th, 5th, 6th, etc... so if I'm losing at that stage, I don't want my bets to climb rapidly.  With patience this line will serve us well. 

The negative to this line is that it will take longer and longer to recover from a really negative streak at smaller bets.

Some people prefer this line: 1,2,4,6,9,12,15,19,23,28,34,40, etc...  Their idea being that if you don't increase the size of your bets as you go into the hole, it will take forever to climb back out of the hole.  There is truth to this argument.  But you need to have a large buy-in to withstand some large drawdowns.

Like I said, this bet method can be adapted to any bet location.  See my post "Turn the odds in your favor" for some ideas on how to adapt to other bets.

I have been testing this on one of the most unlikely bets you can imagine and it's doing extremely well.

The bet is the 3/2 bet.  It's easy.  We just bet either Lo or Hi even chance and the opposite dozen.  Well that's the basic bet.  A more stable bet is to bet 1 unit on the 5 lines that didn't hit last.  So we're betting against a line hitting twice in a row.

Every win is +1 unit and every loss is -5 units.  When we have a loss, we just write down five 1's for our recovery line.  We then start betting 2 units on each line that didn't hit last.  Every win will recover 2 of the 1's, so 3 wins and we're +1 and back to betting 1 unit on the 5 that didn't hit last or all but the last to spin.

If you are unlucky enough to lose at 2 units on each line, you will write five 2's next to the 1's and continue betting 2 units on each line until all the 1's are recovered and then start betting 3 units on each line.  On a win, since you only win 3 units and not 4, you cross off two 2's and carry a 1 over the next 2 so you can see that you have to recover that 1 also.

If you want you can use a more aggressive bet progression 3/2, 6/4, 12/8, 24/16, 48/32, 96/64, etc...
Or you can stay with the grinder 3/2, 6/4, 9/6, 12/8, 15/10, 18/12, 21/14 etc...
Depends on your risk tolerance.

I use the grinder method.  Only rarely do I get past 9/6.  It will happen and when it does, you either have to take a loss or hope for a very favorable streak of wins.  Which happens fairly often.

Test, Test, Test,

I don't want anyone using one of my systems and blaming me if they lose.  This isn't really one of my systems since it's been around forever.

Enjoy,

George
