Philiberte progression

[scarby]

Hi there,

During my research I came across a very old system, known as the Philiberte. It was in a book called "Monte Carlo Anecdotes and Systems of Play".

There isn't much about it online but you can find some info by Googling (sorry, it says I'm not allowed to post links).

So it's an "up as you lose" progression divided into blocks of three and the sequences go:

1 2 4
1 3 7
2 4 8
2 6 14
3 6 12
3 9 21

The idea being based on the old idea of increasing bets after a loss, but effectively imposing a cross between a stop-loss and an increase in stakes when 3 successive bets are lost.

What is not made clear is when one should move back down the system.

If we lost 1 2 4, we lose 7 and move onto 1 3 7 until we are even.

But what if we lose  1 2 4 and 1 3 7, moving on to 2 4 8.

Do we stay at 2 4 8 until we are even (zero) or do we stay at 2 4 8 until we are at a loss of 7, and then move back down to 1 3 7?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I only found this explanation

"A player using this roulette system hopes that the Bank will not be able to win 3 bets in a row. He plays progressions consisting of 3 increasing bets. If 3 losses happen, a player starts a new progression, which uses bigger bets.

Suppose that the bets are even money bets. The first progression employed is 1, 2, and 4. If the first one unit bet is lost and a second bet of 2 units wins, the net profit is one unit. If 2 bets are lost and the 3rd one of 4 units won, the outcome is a positive return of 4-2-1= +1 unit. If all 3 bets for the amount of 7 units are lost in succession, a player starts a new 3 bets progression: 1, 3 and 7. He plays that progression until he gets back first 7 lost units. After that he goes back to his first progression of 1, 2. and 4 units. It the second progression goes bad and 1+3+7 = 11 units are lost, a player starts a third progression with increased bets: 2, 4 and 8. He tries to recover all the previous losses of 7 + 11 = 18 units. If he is successful, he goes back to the first progression.  If not, the 3rd progression is replaced by the 4th one, which is:  2, 6, and 14 and if still unsuccessful the 5th progression starts â€" 3, 6, 12 to be followed by 3, 9, and 21 etc….
If you have a lot of patience and enough capital, that roulette system can keep you in the game for a considerable amount of time - a lot longer than Martingale and other roulette systems.."
