13 Againts the Bank

I thought it was a production from 'mr oops' and I was right, lol.

Anyway I have to mention that this is a copyright (2000) but he gives permission to distribute it as long as I mention the copyright. (shit, where did 11 years of my life go  )

This was one of his ideas for using a reverse labby if you were wanting to bet 2 dozens or columns. I have never really looked at it in detail but methods I have developed in my blog may compliment something like this.

ok, here it is:

SOLUTION? SO, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? The problem is that you, when betting on two dozens or columns at the same time and one of them hits, you will only get half of your total bet in net gain and, as this winning is going to be "put onto the line", you will get an ever decreasing line. Try it!

THIS IS MY SOLUTION: Set the bank-roll to 20 units for a session and write a line looking like this:

2 - 4 - 6 - 8


As you can see, all figures are even. This is because we are going to bet two bets at the same time, so we have to split the bet into two parts. To make this an automatic task, we avoid all un-even figures...

Now, the first bet will be (add 2 + 8} 10 units split into two parts = 5 units for each dozen (or column). Suppose we win. The bet was 2 times 5 and one bet was lost and one bet won twice its value, returning only 15 units! That is 5 unit in profit. The way I see it, there is no place on the line for a figure "5". So, I'll quite simply note it on the paper and bet the same bet a second time.

Suppose we lose this bet. It was made out of 2 + 8 so we cross them out and the line looks like:

X - 4 - 6 - X


Remember the noted "5"? The next bet will also be (add 4 + 6) 10 units - 2 bets of 5 units each. This time we win and we win 5 units. Now, there was another "5" noted so we add them together getting 10 which we put on the line:

X - 4 - 6 - X - 10

The next bet is (add 4 + 10) 14 making it 7 units on each dozen/column and we win 7 units and we NOTE it only and bet a second 2 times 7 bet. We lose and cross out:

X - X - 6 - X - X

...and a noted "7". We bet 6 (2 x 3) and win 3 units. Now there are two ways to go and I prefer one way but cannot say that one is the better. The first way is direct: Add the noted "7" to the won 3 making a total of 10 to put onto the line, making it look like:

X - X - 6 - X - X- 10


The next bet would then be 2 times 8 (6 + 10)... and you must add or subtract one if you get an odd figure...
The second way, my preferred way, is to add equal figures only, like the two 5s earlier. So we note the "3". One reason: There will automatically be only even figures to put onto the line. A second reason will be revealed as we play a few spins more with the line looking like:

X - X - 6 - X - X

and we have a "7" and a "3" noted. So the next bet is a second 2 times 3 units and we win 3 units. We now have two equal figures to add - the noted "3" and the won, making a total of 6 and, when put onto the line, it looks like this: X - X - 6 - X - X- 6

We still have a "7" noted! The next bet is 2 times 6 and we lose and we cross the 6s out, completing the session. We lost the bankroll on the sequence: W - L - W - W - L - W - W - L. NO! And this is the second reason, why I prefer this way: We had the "7" noted; it's a win that has not been used so, in fact, we lost "only" 13 units. This means that sometimes the line can be completely crossed out but there are more than 20 units noted and the net result is actually positive.

Nothing is ever fixed in stone. What's to say a multilevel reverse labby which can cater for betting between 18-24 numbers could not achieve some great results. I have a few ideas for this which I am going to spend some time looking into. Ideally it would require a method that throws up some good win streaks. You could even run several at the same time looking to catch the winning streak.

It would be great if we could come up with a way to revive this idea and make it work in todays casino environment.

cheers.

Nice charts Mr Ore

Hi all. Two observations to proffer.

1. With the reverse Labby you need to win more than 66% of your EC bets to win so not something to rely on.
2. On days when you can do no wrong and lady luck is sitting in your top pocket why not try it. Keep adding your wins to the line until you hit the house limit. Then walk - you will have made a bundle!
