| This system is also called the 'Cancellation'
system. There are many variations. In its simplest form, you
write down a series or a set of numbers; say, 1 2 3 4 5 6.
The series can be short or long and not necessarily sequential
such as 1 1 1 3 3 5 7. The choice of a particular series depends
on the type of game you want to apply it to and the odds of
the bet.
Each number represents the amount in units or
chips to bet. You bet the first and last of these numbers.
In this example 1 and 6, which totals 7 units.
If you win, you cross out the two numbers and
bet the next two 'ends' (the outside numbers). In this instance
2 and 5. If you win again you bet on the next two remaining
numbers 3 and 4, and if you win that too, you would have made
a 'coup' or completed one game. Then you start all over again.
If you lose, then you add that one number to
the end of the series. Say you lost your first bet of 7 units
(1+ 6). Then you add number 7 to the end of the series to
look like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and your next bet would be 8
units (1+ 7). If you won the first bet but lost the second
2 and 5, then the series of numbers would look like this:
2 3 4 5 7.
If you work it out, you will see that when the
series is completed or when you make a 'coup', there is always
a profit. The negative side of this system is that you could
end up betting large sums of money even if your initial bet
is small.
