DISCUSSION: The Kavouras Bet

A direct quote:

"We approach the chaotic roulette outcomes with a chaotic bet selection.

It also eliminates the possibility of a dealer/casino intentionally avoiding the sector you are playing (since we are not focusing on a specific sector)."

It will be interesting to share thoughts about this approach.

................ yeah, ok, hate to tell you this but that is not something to worry about.  been playing real wheels live dealers for 20 years and never seen a dealer who had the slightest bit of interest or the skill or any reason to "intentionally avoid the sector you are playing."  they are just trying to do their job, keep the chips and bets and payoffs strait and are happy to see someone win once in a while since the vast majority of players at the roulette table leave losers and the casino does not need any more help than the house edge to make sure that happens and keeps happening day in and day out.

No discussion?

No interest?

Surprising...!!

I have seen this some time ago. Was interesting at first sight. What do you think about best progression here? Please spare me martingale as recommended there...

Kav was going to publish some strategies but hasn't yet.

As it stands, flat bets are the way to go.

I used it hit'n'run quite successfully on live wheels.

When he does we will see. Of course method like this should be hit and very fast run. LOL

I'm afraid that Kav has understood he made a big mistake.
More numbers you cover,more risk of losing very quickly your Bkroll!

An interesting part of the bet selection was how the numbers are scattered around the wheel.

Players who play physical methods are aware that there is likely to be a cold area which may change from spin to spin. This cold area may cover around 6 pockets or so.

If you were a casual player just placing 6 or so chips at a time on wheel sectors and this was the cold area, your bankroll could dissapear at a far quicker rate than you would expect.

So the idea of covering numbers around the wheel may reduce the volatility or at least ensure you are not blindly bringing about your own downfall by hitting the cold sector.

Hi all,

I love this set of number 20 against 17. 
I have my tracker and clicker for it.

The way i play it:
After 5 hits, i bet against it with prog. 1,2,3,6
After 3 misses, i play for it with prog. 1,2,4,9

Pretty good results so far.   

Happy father's day to every father!

indeed the cold sector can not be the same scatter described over and over again. . .
i think also it is good practice to cover moveable sectors along the wheel. 
Well thought mate.

I tried the Kavouras bet for the first time I bet inside. I was always an EC bettor.

When I won my first split bet, and then 5-1 bet, I was happy.

Kavouras says to bet the same numbers all the time. I say, why not bet the hot or cold numbers, but have them scattered as randomly as Kavouras says to.

[Playborne]

you did win a split bet  you should be happy indeed ... 

[master1986]

Guys, it takes a big bankroll to use this system.

[Playborne]

I agree, it needs quite a lot I think, but have not actually tried it.

This betting system seems interesting, as well as normy2000's progression scheme. So if i understand this correctly Normy2000, when you get 5 hits in a row, you then bet against the system in progression (Essentially betting the opposing 17 #s that are not covered). How is your lay out for those bets?
