The Labouchere Betting System

[skywallkee]

Hello, stakers, I'd like to introduce you a very known system in the casinos, but as I've seen in here, not used at all. I don't know if you avoid it or just don't know it, but I'm going to present it to you and how it works.

One of the minuses of this betting system is that it looks complicated at first, but it isn't so, but you'll need for sure a paper anytime you do it (unless you're some kind of man with exceptional memory). This system has something in common with Martingale and that is it tries to recover all your losings, but the difference is that Martingale tries to recover it all at once when Labouchere makes it in more bets.

Okay, now let's get to the explanation and the steps of making this system work.

First of all, you'll need to write on a paper (or in notepad if you're on PC) a sequence of numbers (any numbers you wish) of any length, but make sure that it's sum isn't greater than the balance you have and you should make it as far as possible to be so high.

I'll take as an example a sequence of 5.

2 - 8 - 10 - 4 - 20

Now, what you've got to do is sum up the first one and the last one (2+20 = 22) and you'll get your first bet. You'll bet this on whatever you want (red/green/odd/even/2x on dice/win on blackjack/etc. but make sure that you'll get 2x back).

If you win, then erase 2 and 20 from your sequence and it will be like this:

8 - 10 - 4

If you lose, then add 22 at the end of your sequence and it will be like this:

2 - 8 -10 -4 - 20 - 22

Now all you've got to do is do this until your sequence runs out of numbers. (if you've got only one number left, just bet it without making any sum)

Let's take an example and see how it works:

We'll use the sequence: 1 - 2 - 3

We bet 4 Satoshis (1 + 3 = 4) and we lose. Add 4 at the end and the sequence will be 1 - 2 - 3 - 4

Bet 5 Satoshis (1 + 4 = 5) and we lose. Add 5 at the end and the sequence will be 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5

Bet 6 Satoshis (1 + 5 = 6) and we win. Remove the first and the last numbers and the sequence will be 2 - 3 - 4

Bet 6 Satoshis (2 + 4 = 6) and we lose. Add 6 at the end and the sequence will be 2 - 3 - 4 - 6

Bet 8 Satoshis (2 + 6 = 8) and we win. Remove the first and the last numbers and the sequence will be 3 - 4

Bet 7 Satoshis (3 + 4 = 7) and we win. Remove the first and the last numbers and the sequence will be empty

Now just make another sequence and try it for yourself!

Also, you should know that the numbers don't have to be different! The sequence can be like: 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 or 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 3 - 1 or anything that comes up your mind. Also, the sequence doesn't have to include just numbers different from 0. Your sequence can also be 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 1.

In my experience with Labouchere's System, it works very well even with small balances, that's what makes it very opened when it comes to its users, but my problem with it is that it can't be used online in automatic betting and I've got to be on PC 24/7 making calculations and see what I've got to bet. That's the worst part of it, that you've got to stay and watch it and keep track of it.

Overall the system works fine, as long as you keep playing on its rules and your sequence isn't that big to go over your balance.

Good luck and have fun! I hope that now you've found out a new system that is going to help you betting on stake!

Just seen your strategy. It's fresh and totally new to me. Never heard of this type of strategy before. Can't wait to try this myself. I wish I had some satoshi left at stake, I would try it now. But unfortunately, I don't have any..

Thank you for sharing the strategy..
