Progression System
1 — 3 — 2 — 6 System
System of positive progression, similar to the Praoli System.
The name of this system is rather revealing. It is founded on the idea that
players are able to win four times in a row.
Over a long period of time the odds of winning are on the side of the casino,
and no system will ever change that. That, of course, does not mean that this
system can not work over a short period of time. What makes it so appealing to
many players is the fact that only two units are put to risk for the chances of
winning 10 units. A pretty good profit at a relatively low price to pay.
The first bet is one unit, if you win it, you add another unit to it. The
second bet will be three units. If you win that one, you'll have six units on
the table. You'll take four of them and reduce the third bet to be only two
units. If you win that one, now you can place your fourth bet in the amount of
six units. If that bet is won, you will have twelve units at your hane, 10 of
them is a sheer profit!
If you lost your first bet, you lost one unit. Let's assume that you won your
first but lost your second, you lost 2 units. If you won your first and second,
but lost the third, you gained two units. If you lost the first three bets and
lost the fourth one, you broke even.
If you lose the second bed 5 times out of 6, and win it 4 times out of 5, you
will get you cash back.
Paroli System
Positive progression system*, the opposite of the Martingale System.
In a way this system is the reverse of the Martingale System. When you're are
winning you increase the amount of your wager rather than reducing it.
However, you will have to work out your own wager-amount strategy so you know
how high up you will let your bet grow before you reduce it to your starting
wager. That, of course, will depend on the type of bet you're making and the
odds of winning.
The great advantage of this system is the fact that you don't need a fat
initial bankroll.
Martingale System
Negative progression system*, one of the oldest systems known.
The Martingale System has been around for ages and is believed to be fairly
easy. Based on the principle that after losing a number of times you must get a
winning bet. It is usually used with bets that pay 1:1 (even money).
You starts with one wager and if you win, you bet the same amount agin. If
you have lost, you double the amount of your last wager. Each time you lose you
double the amount of the previous wager until you win. Then you start again with
you initial wager.
Although theoretically it may seem perfect, the system requires a
considerable bankroll and the return is rather minimal, but risky. This system
may prove hazardous due to a maximum wager limit that is put in place by many
casino, which may result in big losses and no chance of recovering them.
Labouchere System
Negative progression system*, known as the Cancellation System.
There are many variations of this system. In its basic form, you write down a
series or a set of numbers, for instance, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The series can
be long or short and not nessacerily consecutive. Your selection of a series
depends on the type of game you're playing and the odds of the wager.
Each number symbolizes the amount of units that you're wagering. You bet the
1st and the last number. In this example, 1 and 6, which totals 7 units.
If you have won, you remove the two winning numbers and replace them with the
next pair of (the first and the last), in this case: a 2 and a 5. If you have
won again, remove that pair and play the next: a 3 and a 4. You have completed
the cycle and now you can start from the begining.
I you have lost, then you add your first bet to the end of your series, for
example: if you have lost your first bet consisting of seven units (1+6), then
you add number "7" to the end of your series, which now is 1,2,3,4,5,6, and 7.
Your next bet will be 8 units (1+7). If you have won your first bet but lost
your second (2,5), the the series looks as follows: 2,3,4,5,7.
The downside of this system is that you may reach very high bets even when
you started small.
System D'Alembert
Negative progression system*. Insurance system**.
This is a combination of the Martingale and Insurance Systems. You increase
your wager by one unit each time you lose it and you increase it by one each
time you win. The cycle and amount players increase or decrease varies,
depending on the type of game being played and its odds.
* Positive progression sytem: The player increases his bet when winning. It does
not require a big bankroll since it relies on winnings. (stress free, easy , my
favourite).
*Negative progression system: The player increases his bet when losing. It
requires a huge bankroll. It's based on the theory that after losing there must
come winning. (nerve wracking, very painful. Try to avoid it whenever you can).
* Insurance System: the player decreases the amount of wager when winning,
initial bet is usually high. (Be very careful when you use this system).
