Betting System


The global “Money Management” stratagem always remains to say that one should bet more only at the time one is winning, less while losing. However, this is much easier understood than done. You may never discern when the streak may occur until the end. A simple formula to add your bet is when you win and slowly advance your bets once you win. Similarly decrease your bet to the minimum when you lose. This is known as a positive progressive system.

There could be three different types of these betting systems listed as follows:

  1. The positive progression kind of betting: Here every time one wins, the bet will be increased. This type of betting technique is quiet popular, reason - large bankroll is not necessary to start with.
  2. The insurance kind of betting systems: Here every time one looses, the bet will be decreased. Well it is the safest forms of betting system till now. Therefore, experts refer to it as a play safe technique.
  3. The negative progression kind of betting: Here, as you lose your bet, the bet is boosted. This one is used to reverse your losing tendency. However, this needs a much bigger bankroll as it is risky.

Here is an explanation for the most frequently worn betting systems. Well, this information may be useful to many of us; however it is imperative to let our minds accept that none of these techniques are perfectly reliable. And the most important reason for this is - all the betting systems are guarded by probabilities and mathematics, i.e. there is nothing as a sure-fire kind of technique that could be implied each time. Following are the betting systems:-

The Gambling Fallacy – This technique incorrectly assumes- just because a particular number or card did not show up in recent tries, it will positively occur in the near future. Well that is why this particular betting system has a self-explanatory name. The dilemma with this particular technique is - it improperly takes the mathematical probabilities for granted thinking that these probabilities could give reasoning to anybody who attempts the prediction of the same. And hence relying on this Gambling Fallacy may be highly risky. And that is just because of the factual grounds used in this technique which may largely be inaccurate.

Lets look at an example : Below is a conversation between Ross and Arnold:-
Bill: "I'll soon be purchasing the car I had always wanted."
Arnold: "Really! So you’re getting a raise ah?"
Bill: "Oh no! But I've actively been gambling in the lottery. Do you know I’ve been doing that for quiet some time now?"
Arnold: "Yes, I do. You purchase a ticket for each drawing."
Bill: "Yeah. And I've also lost each time."
Arnold: "Why do you then think this time you would win the lottery?"
Jane: "Well, I am due for a win after all the losses."
No facts, hence very risky. Although it could be quiet tempting to rely on the likelihood of an event to occur on certain occasions based on your judgment of the past events, however it is highly advisable to try and keep away from using this technique in particular.

The Martingale system – applies to the bets of ‘even money'. It is time and again labeled to be the proof-tested method because of its old origin. This system takes it for granted that one will lose infinitely in a session. This system follows some principles listed as below:
You win - you revise your bet. You lose - you aim at doubling-up the bet you’ve just lost.
Hence the Martingale system is referred as a negative progression kind of system. Cosequetly, it is clear from the above that this system is a highly chancy technique that depends on a extensive bankroll. Despite the fact you lose regularly, there will be a moment when you can recover all your losses and some extra sum too, in case you win. But a no. of casinos do have a house limit, and if you reach the limit set, the technique will lose its legitimacy and credibility.
Lets look at an example below to understand:-
Assuming that you play a $5 table. Most casinos have a max bet set. Many $5 tables have max bet of 500$. Considering the above rule that if You win - ou revise your bet. You lose - you aim at doubling-up the bet you’ve just lost If you bet using the martingale where you double after every loss the progression would look like this:

Your bet / next bet you win you loose

$5 - X
$10 - X
$20
This means that if you bet $5 and then loose, your next bet is $10. If you loose $10 bet, your next bet is $20 and so on.

Your Bet / Next Bet You Win You Loose
$20 - X
$40 - X
$80 - X
$160 - X
$320 - X
$640
which will exceed the max bet in most of the casinos for a table with this $5 bet.

It takes only 8 losses to exceed the table’s max bet. You will only win $5 if you no matter how mny times you will end up building your bet. Al your progression up till that given point is taken into consideration. Well you could even exceed your $500 max bet, but remember that on the 8th bet it is actually risking your $640for just $5 if you win. Just imagine that you are risking so many dollars for just one chance – where you expect to win $5.

D`Alembert system

It is similar to Martingale system although much safer. You can raise your bet when you lose, and in the same way can decrease your bet each time you win. Using this method you can compensate on your losses just by betting a little higher after you lose.

Parlay system

It is most frequently used in the horse racing. It aims in captivating the winnings from 1 bet, and then investing that on a following bet. It is positive progression as a system. It can also be rated as being realistically safe. The players using this kind of a technique normally aims towards a winning status that’ll occur in a distant future. It would protect your accumulated winnings.

Paroli system

This system is precisely opposite to Martingale system- In the event you win, increase your bet. Contrasting the Martingale’s system, this Paroli system significantly enhances the winnings if one is enjoying winning. However, one needs to plan out his betting formula where you are familiar with how far will you let your bet to build , what amount to increase after every win. Now this will depends on type of the game played plus odds of your bet. This system doesn’t involve bankroll. It will let your profits run and most importantly, cut the losses.

1-3-2-6 system

Positive progression arrangement that take for fixed that one should win 4 times consecutively. If the bets are put to a range of 1-6 units(6 being highest), then your initial bet needs to be one unit, second 3, the third for 2 units, the fourth for 6 units. Regardless of the arithmetic involved, it is reasonably straightforward system. And the system also offers insurance, it alters your bets every time, takes money when one wins. If you win four times consecutively, it’s a good prospect to significantly add to your bankroll.
