Hi,
I have tried countless times to test a simple 6-step system but I keep doing something wrong.
Any help would be appreciated. I want to test a limited progression based on the last color result.

The betting starts at $10 on the outcome of the last color. If win, the bet stays the same.
If lose, the next bet is $16 on the outcome of the last color.
If that bet wins, the next bet is $12. If lose, the next bet is $22. All bets are on the last color.
If the $22 bet is lost, increase to $28. If the $22 bet is won, decrease to $18.
If the $28 bet is lost, increase to $34. If the $28 bet is won, decrease to $24.
If the $34 bet is lost, increase to $40. If the $40 bet is won, decrease to $36.
Stop betting anytime there is a $150 total loss.

In short: start betting $10. On every loss increase by $6, on every win decrease by $4.
Stop betting once the $40 bet is lost. All bets are on the outcome of the previous color.
If zero or double zero appear, it is treated as a loss and the next bet is on the same color prior to the 0 or 00.
I want half the bet returned if any 0 or 00 come out.

The bankroll is $150 for the 6 steps. I know the odds of losing 6 consecutive steps are 1 in 64.
I'm just curious whether this step ladder betting will produce a positive result in the long run
across numerous trials.

I just can't seem to get the steps correct on the Test your strategy page.
Thanks

Hello Chingy711,
every amount is without any unit, meant as "pieces" — you can imagine the worth as you like! $ € ¥ 元

If I understood your description correctly, this should be the step tree of your strategy.
The notation is: step Red/Black amount - when there is only a number (the step) an old step is used again.

The bankroll would be set by the loss limit in the test configuration.
Here is your roulette strategy last SC win-4 loss+6 as step view.
Without stops, for unlimited tests.

As you see: it's always a good idea to write down a strategy step by step - in the end you know what to do :-)
Of course this can take a while, but it's more comfortable than testing an idea only on paper.
Usually the result is more precise...

I totally forgot to mention:

If you would only use one of the two colors as start condition,
it would save half the strategy.

But if you run it on a long test it would have the same results!

Same results with half the work! ;-)

I just wrote it up completely because I was curious whether there would be "jump overs" between the two trees.
(There were none...)

Hi trizero,
I have been testing the strategy you wrote up for me and was curious whether it was at all possible
to test the number of consecutive color streaks versus the number of single even money events.

One of the arguments I have had with Houston on the forum is that the laws of distribution and appearance
state that 3/4 of all trials are series compared to single even money events.
Can your tester show the number of streaks (two or more consecutive colors: RRR, BB, RRRRRR)
and the number of single events (R, B, R, O, B, O, O) in chart form?
I want to test how many series of events are streaks and how many are single events based on color outcome.

Hi Chingy711

Chingy711:

... if it was all possible to test the number of consecutive color streaks to the number of single even money events.

Was it possible? What do you mean with "even money events"?

No, this tool is for testing and not for analysis.

at least facts

But you could use the same permanence and run different tests over it,
whose strategy just "counts out" those figures.
It wouldn't be in a chart, but at least facts... ;-)

Hope I understood you so far!

Double Zero is not included here at all - because of the higher bank profit!
Boycott 00! :-)

PS: forget Houston, this annoying guy is just not worth talking about..

Hi trizero,
what I meant by even money chances was Red/Black, Odd/Even, High/Low.
Thanks again and yes, the "00" should be boycotted, but here in the United States
it's on most casino wheels unfortunately. I'll do as you suggest - I'll just run the test and
count all the series of two or more reds and blacks and compare the totals to all the
single event spin results.

Have a good day, Louie

Chingy, I advise you to describe your strategy always in units, not in dollars or pounds.
The test programs can only compute in units.

Hello dobbelsteen.
I don't understand the meaning of your posting.

If you calculate with a real currency - for example €uro - how could you divide 1 ¢ent for a zero split?
The casino would take this 1 ¢ent in that case.

That's exactly the way this simulation works.
Help me understand your point please.

Have funny tests!
trizero

update:

In between there is a new more efficient version of this strategy.

The flowcharts of the old version are much more impressive than the new ones!

But hey, this is not about art but about clarity and simplicity in roulette strategies.

with the factorized bets: the new version
