Practice Matters
To avoid huge losses one can reduce both the win and lose streaks
To avoid huge losses one can reduce both the win and lose streaks from six to four, change the win streak bets to $20, $10, $5 and $5, and change the lose streak bets to $20, $30, $45 and $85. This change reduces the maximum bet on a loss streak of four bets to $85 and the cumulative amount when lose to $180. However, the Average “Winnings” per Cycle has only been reduced from $9.44 to $9.33. There is no ‘hole’ at a win streak of 2 and the difference column runs from $80 to $40 to $20 for lose streaks 2, 3 and 4W which results in a constant $9.33 per cycle. Nice!
