4 times the power

[GLC]

First of all, my thanks to Tomla021 for sharing this 4 step bet method with me.  It's not invincible, but it has been holding strong so far.


We start with 4 units and we use them to win 4 more units.  It's a very clever positioning of the won units that makes this a strong method.  Explanation follows.


Here's our chart.  It has 4 patterns.  Memorize it.  It's easy to do.
1 1 1 1 = 4 units
1 2 1 1 = 5 units
1 1 2 2 = 6 units
1 1 2 3 = 7 units


Start with 4 units 1 1 1 1
Bet the 1st unit.  If it wins, put it on the 2nd unit like this 1 2 1 1.
Bet the 1st unit.  If it wins, put it on the 4th unit and move 1 unit from the 2nd position to the 3rd position like this 1 1 2 2.
Bet the 1st unit.  If it wins, put it on the 4th position like this 1 1 2 3.
Bet the 1st unit.  If it wins, we have won 4 units.  Goal accomplished.


But what if we don't win 4 times in a row?


We always bet the leftmost position and we always try to re-create the above positions.
We bet the 1st unit and if we lose, we bet the 2nd unit.
If we win on the 2nd unit we replace the 1st lost unit and we have 1 1 1 1 again.  Start over.
If we win the 1st bet we will have 1 2 1 1.  If we lose the next bet we will have X 2 1 1.
The leftmost number is 2 which we bet.  If we win, we will have 6 units.  We look at our chart and see what pattern is made up of 6 units.  It's 1 1 2 2.  That's our new pattern and we now bet the leftmost position, the 1st position or 1 unit.


Note:  We only recreate our chart after a win.  Everything stays in place after a loss.


If we win 2 times and then lose 2 times we will have X X 2 2.  Since we just lost we don't re-arrange the units so our next bet is 2.  A win here and we are re-arrange our chart to 1 1 2 2.
If we lose 3 times we will havel X X X 2.  We bet the 2 and if we win we will have 4 units and anytime we have 4 units after a win, we re-create the 4 units pattern, 1 1 1 1.


If we have the 1 1 2 3 pattern and we lose 3 times in a row we will have X X X 3 so we bet 3.  If we win we will have 6 units so we re-create the 6 units pattern, 1 1 2 2 and bet the 1st 1 next.


As you can see, the way we move the units around maximizes our chances of staying alive until we can win our 4 units.


This can be the foundation of a lot of betting methods to give us a better chance to walk away with a few chips.


I could stop right here.  But I won't. 


All we have to do is substitute this 4 unit series for a single unit.  For example, let's say we're betting D'Alembert or +1 on a loss and -1 on a win.  Instead of 1 unit we substitue 4 units.  We play our 4 unit pattern and if we lose, that represents a 1 unit loss so we +1 and our next pattern is 2 2 2 2.  We play it the same way as the 1 1 1 1 and if we win, we will have won 8 units which represents 2 units -1 unit = +1 unit.  Remember a unit is = to 4 units.


With a little thought, you can use this betting pattern with every bet progression there is!


Will it perform better than a single unit?


Well, that's the rest of the story.  And it's yet to be determined.

Its funny at first glance I really liked this. I tested a baccarat shoe and got burnt LOL so I put it on the back burner--its probably worth another look see....Thanks for bringing it up GLC

This may be a little to slow for real play in a casino, but I've tried a couple of tests to +50 with no loss.

-100

Okay, that's the progression.  You can fill in the numbers I left out due to getting tired of typing.  We always bet 1111 if we win we will have 2222 so we let it ride and play for 2222.  If we win we will have 16 units -4 we start with =+12.

It's a 100 unit risk, but unless you have some really bad luck, you can win 50 units pretty often.
