Reverse Systems
The reverse gambling system
is said to the most strangely ingenious of all money
management systems. Basically, you're thinking, "Well, all
of the other systems don't work, you're right. I'm
convinced. By using these systems I will lose. Hey wait, I
know how to make money from them. Since I will lose by
following the system, what if I do the exact opposite of
what the system is calling for. This way I will have to
win."
The concept of the reverse
system can be used with most of the systems we provide right
here on this site.
For instance, using the reverse
Martingale (or any other progressive system) would require
you that you increase your your bet after every win and
decreasing your bet after every loss.
A reverse D'Alenbert would would
involve increasing your bet one unit after a win and
decreasing your bet one unit after a loss.
A reverse Labouchere means
crossing off off the two outer numbers each time you lose
and increasing the size of your bet to the end of the row
every time you win.
What the reverse system lover
does not understand is that the system they are following is
NOT what caused their loses. The system may rearrange the
pattern of losses. Ultimately, any systemis really
irrelevant to the long-run losses of the player. Those
losses don't come about because the system. They come about
because of house percentages. Over a period of time, a
system player's net losses will be exactly same as they
would be if the player had made uniform size wagers on the
same bets for the same total amount. Loss is simply a
function of the amount wagered and the the house edge.
There is one thing in favor of
the system that is rather important when applying it to the
various progressives. Because progressive systems require
wagering more money when you are winning, they are much
better than systems like the Martingale. The martingale
requires you to bet more when you are losing. Betting
progressions, whether they are positive or negative, won't
change the long term results of your gambling, they can have
major short term results, though. . |
