More rantings on the LW on the LD patternI forgot to mention an important thing that I think you said in a previous post somewhere: the LLLL deactivates the LLW, when only playing LLW, I wait until it shows up again (once). This avoids getting caught in a potentially devastating (or profit making) LLLLwLwLwwLLLLW L-like trap when chasing LLW and its big brother, LLLW. Also, if I see lots of consequitive LWs showing, 4 or 5 or so, I sometimes try and ride them as side bets, more so to relieve the boredom of just playing LLW! Otherwise I’ll sometimes be waiting a very long time before betting, 45mins or longer - working on 10 spins every 14 minutes. However, I’m now starting to think 3 consecutive LWs is too small a number to get onboard them as you can often get caught in a 3 LW and then a LL trap WWWLWWWWWLWWWLWL(L)W, but I'm still enjoying experimenting with this as the big LW runs are too common an occurance to ignore. It is quite fascinating to watch some of the other patterns emerge and what triggers them off. For instance, WWWWWWW (7 or 8 or more) is often a trigger for a run of 4 or more Ls (WWWWWWWLLLLW), so I am thinking of not betting on the first LLW after a big show of Ws. If I had played this way more, my profits would be bigger still. Thanks for pointing me to these interesting little idiosyncrasies. The idea of turning a bad run into a good run by being more trigger cautious or by switching your hunt strategy has stood up well to my testing (I don’t have exact figures, but it is now about 3,000 recorded spins in 15-20 sessions) - numbers from a mixture of live, online and recorded actuals. I’d even go so far to say that LW pattern triggers can be more reliable than a UK 5-day surf forecast!
Perhaps I'm starting to get a bit too obsessed by the whole LW thing though…I guess I’ll be a lot happier when I have some more concrete-like, hard and fast, rules that will always have me changingmy trigger/hunt method at the very start of a new wave pattern. I know it’s like you said, if it works for you now, great. But what works for me 1 week, doesn’t necessarily work for me the next, so I go back over the numbers, look at the patterns, tweak it a bit, and retest it (as we all should). Playing only the LLW is more complicated than I thought mate, that is when you also consider the patterns that might follow, how it is triggered, where it might grow and go into a LLLW, LLLLW or a LLLLLLLL. Above all though, the great thing is that LLW is still winning a lot more than it losses & I've not hit my stop loss

, but, I want to be more ready for when the tide changes!

Better still, turn it around into a chicken dinner, maybe even a steak dinner with a special dessert

Anyway, talking of this and the zero Lanky, have you noticed that the zero often triggers a consecutive run of Ls or Ws or rows of 4, 5 or 6 (e.g, 0WWWWWLLLLL). I was thinking about this after we chatted. Is this related to how you have started playing the zero? If this phenomenon exists it must be exploited. It could be an interesting way to avoid or hit a profitable run. Something like, after the zero shows, if either a L or W immediately repeats (0LL or -0WW, play it ‘til it loses once, and then switch and play the other (swap from L run to W run hunting, or visa versa). Anyway I have not conclusively tested this idea yet but will let you know how it works out. Cheers Lanky, I’ll post some Dublin Bet and Spiel bank number patterns when I get a chance.
