Title: Is this a progression?
Post by: Mr J on July 18, 2009, 02:52:54 PM
Its all in the definitions, right? Lets say I start at $5 on red. I lose and up it to $10. I lose again but go back down to $5 and start over, never going PAST $10. Would you say I use a progression? Ken

I tried something like that with dozens, betting 1,2,3,4,6 and never going past that...didn't work :(

You have increased the speed with which you'll lose your Bankroll.  :good:

=o)

But if I'd call it progression? Degression? Dunno!

It's a two step progression.

Yes, but is it a Texas Two Step progression?

Yep, that's what I reckon.

I've always considered a progression as just one big fat bet broken up into variable lengths/amounts.

End of the day its just one spread out bet, granted usually more expensive when you lose, but just one big fat bet all the same.

So to answer the question using your example, I'd say no, you just lost one $20 bet (5+10+5).

That's exactly what it is... most clever way I've seen it expressed, though... Thanks, I'm gonna borrow that.
