Default Re: Negative Progression roulette

With just one green spot then you lose your money at a rate of AVG BET x 2.6%, or 1/2 as fast as with two green spots.

Let's flip a coin. Heads you win, tails you lose. Bet as much as you want on any flip. Every 38 tosses, you pay me $100. The more you flip, the more times you pay me $100, and eventually I have all your money. You can spread your bets around on the other tosses however you want -- you are going to break even on them in the long run.
