Anyone have the balls to let it ride?

Figured if martingale loses by doubling your bet, then it should win on the opposite colors by letting your bet sit.

I start out with $2, but when it gets to $256, I lose the nerve to bet it all on a color that just won 7 times.

Anyone try playing that way an actually won the max bet?

It happened. Someone finally saw an Elegant Pattern and hammered it for a huge win. His name is Pedro from Brazil and he posted his example in the teaching thread for Reading Randomness. That's at the unmentionable gambling forum where I posted it. He posted in the last couple of pages there. It's a perfect example of "let it ride."  I would not have done it that way.

I have a 7 step pull-off method where you take the build up of 1 of the 7 on each spin that wins. Like on the first spin you take 1 + 1 off and let the remaining 6 that are now 12 go on. You just keep taking 1 at a time for the aggregated wins for each step until you reach all 7. This way if you only reach 5 steps you still have something to show for it.

I like your strategy of skimming the wins. Taking a chip off the first win is hard for me. I think, if I get greedy now and take one chip, it could screw me out of 256 chips later. But I suppose guaranteed money is better.

There are a bunch of people that recommend making the first bet larger than all the rest, like 8 on the first one and 1's for all the rest of the six remaining steps.  That would mean that you bet 14 on the first bet. You would be +2 after the first win.  You can figure it out from there. If the second bet wins you would pull off 4, 3rd bet 8, 4th bet 16, 5th bet 32, 6th bet 64, and the last bet 128.

If you win the first bet then you are at +2 and all the rest are with no more risk of loss.

Gizmotron,
It very obvious that double dozen has many long streaks...

Try this random dd bet.
Then tell what you see.

if d1 hit, bet d1/d2.
if d2 hit, bet d2/d3.
if d3 hit ,bet d3/d1.

if zero hit, bet, bet again according to the last dd hit.

this way, random vs random...you will see many long streaks, up to tens and twenty dd hit, try it.

I don't waste my time with double dozens anymore. They are too  volatile.
