1 Dozen + 1Column

[vladir]

I think I haven't seen this approach anywhere yet... This is just an idea with staking plan, but I'm not sure about a bet selection, if there is one that is effective at all (we just need 1 hit every 7 spins to keep playing...).

So, the idea is to bet 1 dozen+ 1 column. We this, we will cover 20 numbers, of wich 4 will always give us a big win, and 16 will reset our progression (withouth any proffit at all).
Here is the progression for 7 steps (it gets a bit scary at the end, but if you are lucky to hit one of the 4 numbers, you prize will be 3 times the bet of the level you are at (so a win on the 4 numbers on the last lvl it wil be 3 *486 = 1458 )) :

1-1
2-2
6-6
18-18
54-54
162-162
486-486

Anytime we have a hit in one of our numbers, we restart from 1-1 (because we recovered the investment in all previous bets).
Total BR required: 1458 units.

Unless you have a very good betselection for this (one that ensures 1 win every 7 spins!), be warned that you will lose with this system!

Any ideas to improve this idea? Any betselection ideas?

Goodness gracious Vladir! This is clearly not playable. When you think about it there is only a 4/37 chance of winning and yet you only break even on 20/37 and lose outright on 13/37. You may stay in the gane breaking even for awhile but I could easily lose the 1st time trying this. Your chances of losing are more than three times greater and its only a 7 step marti? Nothing against you at all and I have much respect but people suggesting marti shoukd just stop. I guess if French suicides aren't enough to persuade you though than nothing will...

You are correct, but I guess you din't read to the end did you? I'm not advocating martingale suicide, I already told it's certainly a losing system - unless you have a way to ensure 1 hit in 7 spins.

I did see what you said but there is no way to ensure not losing 7 in a row on even chances and it happens all the time. Not losing more than 7 spins on a 4/37 chance of winning is not a strategy that anyone would be crazy wnough to use. I can't think of any kind of bet selection that is gonna hedge those kind of odds that are against us.
