Now, this author would like to present his version of a betting system that expands the bets of Regression-Progression/Flat betting. But first, take a look at Table 8-2. The amounts bet in Table 8-2 have been increased by a factor of 2.4 relative to those in Table 8-1. As a result the Risk has increased by 2.4 to $96. Also the Difference column for Losing Streaks 1-4W have increased by 2.4 but still have a total of zero and the Average “Winnings” per Cycle is still zero. The author needed these changes in order to present his Regression-Progression/Progressive Betting System shown in Table 8-3. In Table 8-3, the Bets are $24, $12, $6, $24 for the Win Streaks followed by $24, $30, $46, $89 for the Lose Streaks. These losing bets result in a Risk of $189. The Difference column shows $0, $72, $44, $19 for a $9.00 Average “Winnings” per Cycle and a Risk to “Winnings” per Cycle ratio of 21.0 (not bad and not indeterminate as in Table 8-1).
With more money on each bet when Blackjacks, Double Downs or Pair Splits occur the returns are greater. What has happened here is that the author has utilized the method of betting analysis to design bets to achieve some desired result(s). This design is usually an iterative process; that is, make a guess of the bets, put those bets in the table and observe the output. If the output is not what one desires make another guess to see if improvement is achieved. Repeat until satisfied with the results.
