Modern Betting Systems:
Betting Progressions
The betting progressions below were invented to be used playing
Blackjack. They may also be used playing Roulette - French, American,
or Hybrid - when playing the outside, even money bets. They will be
more productive in Europe and the UK due to the lower Casino
advantage and rules such as en prison or surrender. Three of them
have both positive and limited negative progressions that are played
simultaneously. Two of these were created by the author of this
website and have been used effectively when playing both Blackjack and
Roulette. They are listed from simple to intermediate.
The Simple Systems The authors are listed below. These are found
in Blackjack books with no mention of use in Roulette.
The way a progression is listed in the table is with a prefix W followed
by a number generally from 1 to 6. The W stands for winning, and
means a positive progression where one only follows the betting
sequence while winning. The simple systems all flat bet one unit when
you are losing. Therefore, W(3) means the third bet of the sequence.
Some of the authors carry out their progression to eight, ten or more
bets, but I generally stop at the W(6) bet due to the small number of
times you will have more than 6 wins in a row. The bets are in units, so
simply multiply the number by your bet size.
Notes: Systems 3, 4, and 6 actually begin with a one unit bet as the
first win (when flat betting one unit while losing) is always one unit.
They are listed this way because the author did so.
The next systems are what I call intermediate systems. They are a little
more complicated, and do not bet one unit when losing. As with the
winning sequence nomenclature, L(1) means the first loss after a
winning series. Because this is a variable number, depending on the
last bet followed in the winning series, it can't be listed as a number. It
can be estimated for analysis purposes by calculating an average L(1),
and has to be done to compare the systems.
System 8
System 9
System 10
Note: Systems 9 and 10 flat bet 2 units but stop after four losses.
They change tables to find a friendlier dealer. This may be difficult to do
playing Roulette.
System 11
System 12
Note: These systems as well as any of the other positive progressions
may be played with one of my two limited negative progressions (the L
series above). Negative progressions aren't for the meek, but they are
very useful at times, and losses are no greater than when flat betting.
But that's material for another page.
