This betting strategy is simple, effective in most cases, and based on my analysis, the optimal number of bets to place is at least 1,164. This allows you to create 6 tiers of bets. You can adjust the number of tiers—fewer or more—but experience suggests that six tiers work best.
The Mathematics Behind the Strategy
In the long run, the odds tend to even out, resulting in roughly equal chances of winning from each column or dozen. With enough bets, you’re likely to experience a winning streak at some point, which can help you make a profit.
How the Strategy Works
- Choose a single column or dozen to bet on.
- Start betting with a fixed amount (e.g., $1).
- If you lose 20 bets in a row, double your current bet.
- If you lose another 20 bets, double your bet again, and so forth.
Example:
- Begin with $1 bets.
- After 20 losses, bet $2.
- After another 20 losses (total 60 losses), bet $4, and so on.
How Wins and Losses Impact Your Total
- When you win, your payout is double your current bet.
- For example, if you’ve lost three times and then win, you’ve recovered your previous losses plus a profit.
- Keep losing, and your bets increase exponentially until a winning streak occurs, typically recouping all losses and gaining some profit.
Handling Extended Losing Streaks
- If facing a long losing streak, you might choose to:
- Restart with a double bet, or
- Significantly increase your minimum bet (e.g., 5x or 10x the base bet).
Example:
- A 10x bet means you need to win 117 bets to recover losses (not necessarily 117 wins, as a single big win can suffice).
- The aim is to make recovery statistically easier and protect your initial bankroll.
Adjusting the Number of Losing Bets Before Doubling
- Doubling after a set number of losses can be customized:
- Doubling after 15 losses increases risk because you’ll be playing fewer bets, reducing the chance of hitting a winning streak.
- Doubling after 30 losses slows down the game, with a lower risk of rapid losses but potentially longer periods of losing streaks.
Final Thoughts
This strategy aims to minimize the risk of large losses by balancing bets and risks. However, it might not generate significant profit, as you could need hundreds of bets before turning a profit.
While no strategy guarantees perfect results, adjusting the parameters to your risk tolerance and goals can help optimize your gameplay.
