The Black and Red Doubling System
This system is the most simple and with every win it provides 1 unit (£1 or $1) profit. However, the losses increase exponentially so if your float (balance) is not big enough it can clean you out very quickly!
So this system worked, and it worked as predicted, but the casino's have realised that this system is being used and have employed methods to stop it, which means it used to work but doesn't anymore.
Feel free to try this on the play table of a casino.
Click here to see a list of casino's, their features, and in theory which systems they would work with. (Good for using with play money and testing my claims).
The System Itself
You start by placing a bet on the colour of your choice (lets say Black first).
Your first bet is 1 unit, from now on I will use £ as an example, so you bet £1.
Now, if you win, you have got £2, so you spent £1 and got £2 thus making a
profit of £1 - that's a good start.
If you didn't win, you bet again on the same colour, doubling you
previous bet.
You keep repeating this until you finally win.
After you win, switch colour and start again.
On some play tables this will make you lots of money.
I have noticed (as detailed on the casinos page), some casino's let you win using
this method with play money, but not with real money!
The 'Profits'
Lets
assume you lost a few times:
You bet £1 (you have so far bet £1 and if you win you get £2 and make a profit of £1).
Then bet £2 (you have so far bet £3 and if you win you get £4 and make a profit
of £1).
Then bet £4 (you have so far bet £7 and if you win you get £8 and make a profit
of £1).
Then bet £8 (you have so far bet £15 and if you win you get £16 and make a profit
of £1).
Then bet £16 (you have so far bet £31 and if you win you get £32 and make a profit
of £1).
Then bet £32 (you have so far bet £63 and if you win you get £64 and make a profit
of £1).
Then bet £64 (you have so far bet £127 and if you win you get £128 and make a profit
of £1).
Then bet £128 (you have so far bet £255 and if you win you get £256 and make a profit
of £1).
Then bet £256 (you have so far bet £511 and if you win you get £512 and make a profit
of £1).
Then bet £512 (you have so far bet £1023 and if you win you get £1024 and make a profit
of £1).
As
I'm sure you will have noticed by now, if you follow this bidding system, when
you bid n overall you have bid 2n - 1 , and I'm sure you can see
that the amount you spend really adds up if you don't win. By bid number 10 you
have spent £1023 and won nothing! One more bid and you will have spent £2047 if
you haven't won! OUCH!
The losses!
As you can see, every time you don't win your losses practically double. Now you first loss is £1, second is £2, and so on.
This means that if you get a streak of one colour coming up, the colour you are
not betting on then you will built up a big loss, quickly.
In my example above I show that on the 10th run in your 'bad' streak you have
lost £1023. Now you might be thinking this isn't very likely because of the law
of averages etc. etc. (See my Law of Averages section). Using my statistical
analysis and prediction software, on more than one occasion I got a streak of up
to 16 numbers where the colour I wanted did not turn up. Sometimes they were
not a streak of just 1 colour, sometimes it was a green that interrupted the
streak before it continued, still yielding no profits as the desired colour did
not come up.
The money lost on a streak of 16 would be (2^16) - 1 which is
£65,535!
If you can afford to lose this (and potentially more - as I only ran the test
for about 5 hours) then go ahead and join a casino! But otherwise please ignore
this betting system.
The real life result
I started using 888 as it was recommended for using this system.
This was the first system I tried, and I wrote an application to check the last
colour and bet as appropriate. On the 'play money' tables this worked like a
charm, the longest streak it got was 7 which requires a float of £127, and on
this casino it was in dollars so thats only about £70, and on top of that I got
about a $40 bonus, so I had nearly $170.
Well, I ran my application on 'Real Money' with $170 and it cleaned me out in
less than 10 minutes. It got a streak of 9 which would've required $511. In
many hours of testing on the same casino's play table this never came up!
The 16 colour streak
After finding another system I had to find a casino that would allow me to
spin the wheel without bidding, which 888 wouldn't allow me to do. So I found Golden Palace which allowed this, and
I wrote another application that looked at the numbers that came out (and
calculated their values, for use in other systems) and after running this on a
real table, with no bids, logging the numbers (and colours) that came out, it
got a streak of 16 of one colour within the first hour. This also happened when
looking for all other pairs - the odd/even and the high/low (1-18/19-36). More
detail is on the 'Other Systems' page.
The variations
This is system primarily described using black/red but it would in theory work on any pairs system. However it does not.
Conclusion
In real money and some play tables this system does not work. I get to a loss of at least £253,
potentially more!
At the end of the day - unless you have a nearly unlimited float (probably over
£100,000 to be safe) there is no point in using this system - and even then
it's risky.
More Information
To find out why this should work but doesn't read the 'Law of Averages' Page.
Also see the 'Other Systems' page because it describes how less risky variations
of this system still, eventually fail or don't yield profits in the long-run.
