In this booklet we have just touched on the many Betting Systems that need to be analyzed. But what has happened here is that some insight has been gained and a methodology developed for the analysis of Betting Systems. This author feels that when betting systems without potential for Average “Winnings “(Table 3-3, 4-1, 8-1, 8-2, and 9-1) and the fact that the casino still has an advantage (not analyzed here) there isn’t much sense in playing those systems. When playing more aggressive systems (Table 5-1, 6-1, 6-2, 7-1, 7-2, 8-3 and 9-2) during a session one can be dollars ahead so quit before the big loss arrives which it certainly will if you keep playing!
It should be noted that for this Modified Saw-tooth/Progressive Method of Betting in the 3rd to 6W Loss Streak lengths, the “Cumulative if Win” are negative dollar amounts making the “Average Amount Won/Lost” also negative. However, for the same Win Streak lengths the wins are greater than the loss of the Lose Streaks. Thus, the net of the Win Streak amounts minus the Lose Streak amounts yields a positive dollar Difference. So each coupled Streak (Win Streak matched with the Lose streak) results in a winning amount. What one has done is use some of the winnings during a session to support the losses encountered during the Lose Streak but in a very controlled manner!
