Double doz question

[Turner]

If you had a double doz system with a 5 step progression i.e 1-1, 3-3, 9-9, 27-27, 81-81, and the run had lost on the 4th step, would you:
A) take the 80 loss
B) have faith and place a further 162u totalling 242u

Hi Turner,

Hmm.. depends how strong your system is. Personally, I do not like the risk.

This is one of the better progressions for double dozen betting, thanks to GLC and others.
Double Dozen Progression
Progression Level
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Bet level 1 ($1.00) on each Dozen for 5 Spins
If at the end each 5 spins we have a positive balance then spin another 5 times at level 1 ($1.00).
For example, if we won all 5 times we would have a positive balance of $5, if we won 4 times we would have a positive balance of $2 therefore we would spin another 5 times at level 1 ($1.00).
If at end of 5 spins we have a negative balance then increase bets to next progression level 2 ($2.00) for next 5 spins.

For example, if we won 3 times out of 5, we would have a negative balance of -$1.
Bet level 2 ($2.00) on each Dozen for 5 spins.
If during these 5 spins we have eliminated the negative balance of -$1 then revert back to next lower level, ie level 1.
If we still have a negative balance at the end of level 2, then go to level 3.
For example, we have a -$1 loss from level 1.
The first spin at level 2 ($2.00) on each dozen is won, we win $2.00 which when added to the -$1 loss from the previous level a +$1 which has eliminated the negative balance and we now revert back 1 level.

LOL if you have a double dozen system with a 5 step progression to start with, why would you stop at the 4th level? if your system is based on the 5 levels? in for a penny in for a pound.

A) Take the 80 unit loss.  When I first started gambling I did the heavy progressions.  Worst thing I could have ever done to my bankrolls!

If you have a big bankroll that can handle a 5-step loss I would go all the way. But you need play sets of progression strategies like winning 1 to reach your session profit target or 2 out of 3 etc. That works really well.
