This was stolen from Bally at Betselection---Kind of interesting
I was doing some testing tonight with the mongoose staking plan and decided to tweak it to play double dozens. It went rather well in the limited testing I completed. It is slightly different to the original mongoose.
There are three steps to this tweak....
Step 1 is a parlay attempt.
So I am looking for two consecutive hits on the double dozens. A loss on the first or second bet is a complete loss.
example:
1a) Bet 1 unit on 1st dozen and 1 unit on 2nd dozen.
if win....
1b) Bet 1.5 units on 1st dozen and 1.5 units on 2nd dozen.
so.....
L is a total loss.
WL is a total loss.
WW is a win and move on to Step 2.
Step 2 is a possible two step progression.
1a) Bet 0.75 units on 1st dozen and 0.75 units on second dozen. (if win, move to step 3)
if I lose the above bet.....
1b) Bet 1.50 units on 1st dozen and 1.50 units on second dozen. (if win, move to step 3)
A loss on 1b is a total loss.
Step 3 is a possible two step progression.
1a) Bet 0.75 units on 1st dozen and 0.75 units on 2nd dozen. (if win...end of game!)
if I lose the above bet....
1b) Bet 1.50 units on 1st dozen and 1.50 units on 2nd dozen. (win or lose = end of game)
Here are all the possible scenarios....
WW/W/W +4.0 units.
WW/W/LW +3.25 units.
WW/LW/W +3.25 units.
WW/LW/LW +2.50 units.
WW/LL -2.0 units.
WW/LW/LL -2.0 units.
WW/W/LL -1.25 units.
L -2.0 units.
WL -2.0 units.
cheers
Thanks you Tomla!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Nice Tom. If we covert it to $1 units our first bet will $4-$4.
If we win we bet $6-$6.
A total win would be $16.
I can play it on my airball machine at $0.50 units.
Can you play anywhere for parts of a unit?
Tom here's an safe adaptation for playing with 1 unit start.
1a) 1-1 If L -2 go to 1a
If W +1 go to 1b
1b) 1-1 If L -1 go to 1a
If W +2 go to 2a
2a) 1-1 If L 0 go to 2b
If W +3 go to 3a
2b) 1-1 If W +1 go to 1b
If L -2 go to 1a
3a) 1-1 If L +1 go to 3b
If W +4 go to 1a
3b) 1-1 If L -1 go to 1a
If W +2 go to 1a
WW/W/W +4
WW/W/LW +3
WW/LW/W +2
WW/LW/LW 0
WW/L/L -2
WW/LW/LL -3
WW/W/LL -1
L -2
WL -1

Tom here's a safe adaptation for playing with a 1 unit start for those who can't bet fractions of a unit and can't afford to start with 4 units.
1a) 1-1 If L -2 go to 1a
If W +1 go to 1b
1b) 1-1 If L -1 go to 1a
If W +2 go to 2a
2a) 1-1 If L 0 go to 2b
If W +3 go to 3a
2b) 1-1 If W +1 go to 1b
If L -2 go to 1a
3a) 1-1 If L +1 go to 3b
If W +4 go to 1a
3b) 1-1 If L -1 go to 1a
If W +2 go to 1a
WW/W/W +4
WW/W/LW +3
WW/LW/W +2
WW/LW/LW 0
WW/L/L -2
WW/LW/LL -3
WW/W/LL -1
L -2
WL -1

One thing I forgot to mention is that you can play this flat bet. If you do every thing above is meaningless. Or you can play it with a progression. For the progression, if you reach -6 you should increase your base bet to 2 units. That means you will double every bet. If you reach -18 you should triple your base bet meaning you triple all the other bet sizes.
Here's the chart:
-5 or above start with 1-1 unit
-6 to -17 start attack with 2-2 units (double all bet sizes)
-18 to -35 start attack with 3-3 units (triple all bet sizes)
It's up to you how far you want to go with the progression.
