He's talking about the Martingle system. (At least I'm pretty sure.) This is a fine system, if you have millions. [/ QUOTE ] No. It is not a fine system if you have millions. There is no betting system that can turn a negative expectation bet into a positive expectation bet.

(At which point, why would you want to make small amounts of cash?) This system will work in the above situation: If you have a 47% chance to hit your color, you're going to hit it. It's that simple. If you double your money every time you lose, until you win, and then start over with the initial bet, you will win. It's that simple. This system can beat the house. Problem is, the house has betting limits (that I'm sure you could get them to wave if you're losing as much money as you are). Other problem is that you have a limited bank roll. With an unlimited bankroll and unlimited wagering ability, this is a profitable system. Every spin is -EV, but the design of the system is +EV in these conditions.

Re: Negative Progression roulette
This is impossible. As you approach infinity with the number of spins, the distribution of black v. red v. green will become more statistically accurate to it's true statistical distribution. So, you will have wins intelaced there. And with the infinite bankroll, there is no fear of ever busting. So, sure, you could have infinite losses, but you still have one more roll to try to win. And if you lose, one more.
Basic point. This system works for what I have described. No one uses it and wins long term with it, because no one can meet the specifications. Nothing I have said before is openly disputed. Anywhere you read about the martingle system you will read things similar to what I have written.

[/ QUOTE ] Whatever. Okay. The system is great for those people who have an infinite amount of money and also are playing roulette at some place that will book billion dollar bets. Much better than just admitting that you were wrong. Woohoo. There is no betting system by which you can turn a negative expectation bet into a positive expectation bet. Lather, rinse, repeat.
