- Pass/Don't
Pass Progression
Start with 26 units.
Bet one unit on either Pass Line or Don't Pass Line. If this
bet is won, parlay it and wager both bet and win, or two units.
This is the heart of the system: one MUST back bet or parlay
the win.
If you win a second
time, you will be ahead 3 units.
Now start again.
The betting progression is as follows: 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4,
5, 7 for 26 total units.
Sample play:
Bet A (1 unit): Lost
Bet B (1unit): Lost
Bet C (1 unit): Lost
Bet D (2 units): Won
Bet E parlay (2 units plus 2 units just won): Won
You're now ahead
by two units (28 units total). Start over again with a one unit
bet. You have a total of nine consecutive chances before you
limit your losses.
1-3-2-6
System
1-3-2-6 is based
on the premise that you can win four times in a row.
Your initial bet
is 1 unit, the second 3 units, the third 2 units and the fourth
6 units. Let's assume that each unit is $10 and the odds are
1:1 - even money.
The first bet is
$10. When winning, $10 is added to the $20 on the table making
the second bet $30. When winning again on the second bet, there
would be $60 on the table. Of this you take down $40 and the
third bet is now $20. If the third bet wins, you will have $40
on the table to which you add $20 making a total of $60 for
the fourth bet.
If the fourth bet
wins, there would be a total of $120, of which $100 is net profit.
Now all the bet with the profit is taken down and you start
the system all over again at $10.
If you lose the first
bet, your loss is $10. The second level loss is $20. At the
third level, a loss will give you a net profit of $20. At the
fourth level, a loss leaves you breaking even. Each time you
lose, you start all over again at $10.
The attraction of
this system is that you risk $20 at a chance of making $100
net profit. This means you can lose five times, and with one
win get your money back.
Parlay
This Parlay is designed
to, in effect, pyramid your profits. Pyramiding is a parlay
wager whereby the original wager plus its winnings are played
on successive wagers. Commonly used in horse racing betting,
you make a bet and if you win you re-invest the winnings on
the next bet or Let It Ride as it were.
It is one of the
oldest methods of wagering and was originally derived from the
same premise that banking systems use to compound interest.
Fibonacci
Progression
A Fibonacci progression
steps as follows: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, etc.
- where each number is a sum of the previous two numbers. The
basic idea is to get two wins in a row.
For each loss, step
up one in the progression. For each win, repeat the current
bet. If you win again, start the progression over. If you lose,
advance one step.
Labouchere
The Labouchere system
is also known as the 'Cancellation' system. There are several
variations, but in its simplest form, you write down a series
or a set of numbers, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The series can
be any length and does not have to be sequential. The choice
of a particular series depends on the type of game you want
to apply it to and the odds of the bet.
Each number represents
the amount in units or chips to bet. You bet the first and last
of these numbers. In the example above, that would be 1 and
6, totaling 7 units.
When you win, cross
off those two numbers and bet the next two outside numbers.
In the case of our example, 2 and 5. If you win again you bet
on the next two remaining numbers 3 and 4, and if you win that
too, you would have made a 'coup' or completed one game. Then
restart the system.
If you lose, add
that one number to the end of the series. Say you lost your
first bet of 7 units (1+6). Then you add number 7 to the end
of the series to look like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and your
next bet would equal 8 units (1+7). If you won the first bet
but lost the second 2 and 5, then the series of numbers would
look like this: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7.
If you work it out,
you will see that when the series is completed or when you make
a 'coup', there is always a profit. The negative side of this
system is that you could end up betting large sums of money
even if your initial bet is small.
Martingale
The Martingale betting
system is a very old and extremely simple system. It is based
on the probability that one won't lose an infinite number of
times in a row and is usually applied to even money bets.
Start with a one
unit bet. If you win, bet the same amount again. If you lose,
double your bet. Each time you lose, double your last lost bet.
Eventually, the odds say you will win. When you win you would
recover all your lost bets plus one unit profit against your
initial wager.
Although infallible
in theory, the Martingale system requires a large bankroll,
has a very low return and is a very risky one because of the
maximum bet limits imposed by the casinos.
Classic
Regression
Objective: To make
a profit on one hit.
In this strategy,
you wait until the shooter has made his/her point before placing
your bets. After the Point is made you will place two units
or $12.00 on both the 6 and 8. After one hit, you will ask the
Dealer to come down one unit on both the 6 & 8.
Results: You now
have a $2.00 profit and can no longer get hurt by the Seven.
In addition, you now have $12.00 working for you. After another
hit, bring down all bets and wait for the roller to make his/her
point or 7 out, then start the process over.
On two hits your
net profit is: $21.00. Now depending on how confident you are,
you can come down after the first hit profiting $14.00 or keep
betting on the 6 & 8. If you prefer to keep your bets riding
make sure that both the 6 & 8 are covered.
Note: There are ten
combined ways to make a 6 and 8 and six combined ways for a
seven.
