The Lebouchere betting system is akin to the Martingale in many ways as it is whats called a progressive betting system. It also increases the wager after a loss like the Martingale but its advantage is that it is far less likely to hit the table maximum.
This is probably the least easy to operate of all of the roulette systems as you will need some facility to write down numbers unlike the Martingale which is straught forward in nature. You first write down a line of numbers that could be anything within reason. A popular aggressive line would be 1-2-3-4. Let us say that you are betting in dollars.
The first bet would be the first and last numbers in that line so 1+4 = $5 and so the bet is $5. If that bet wins then the first and last numbers are cancelled out. This then leaves the 2 and the 3 remaining. This then means that the second bet would also be $5 (2+3). If that bet wins also then the line is cleared and a new line starts with the player being $10 ahead.
We then have to explain what happens if a bet loses. In the 1-2-3-4 sequence, if that $5 initial bet loses then the number 5 is added to the line to make 1-2-3-4-5, the next bet is $6 (5+1)…..if that loses then the 6 is added to the line to make 1-2-3-4-5-6 and then next bet is $7. If that wins then the 1 and 7 are cancelled leaving a line of 2-3-4-5 and the next bet is also $7 (2+5) etc.
If you look at certain betting sequences with regards to the Lebouchere then you will see that gains can be made when the losses exceed the wins which makes this one of the better betting systems on roulette that there is. The starting line of 1-2-3-4 is relatively aggressive becasue if the table maximum is say $200 on the even chances then you are already 2.5% of the way there. Less aggressive starting lines are preferred with online casinos as your betting system cannot get you an edge in itself. But when used with sign up bonuses then they can be very effective.
see you soon
