Oscar Grind was created by a craps player describe only as Oscar. This betting system incorporates features from both the positive and negative progression systems.You can suffer much longer runs of losses without busting out than you can with a negative progression, since you don’t raise your bets after losses. Yet, a much shorter run of wins can get back your previous losses on a series, since you raise your bets following wins. It’s kind of brilliant, actually. Strings of losses hurt less, yet strings of wins pay more. In this system, the first bet in each series is one unit. The goal is to end up with a profit of one unit, thus ending a series. If you lose at any point, your bet remains the same until you return to a win. You would then continue to make your way up the series. Once your series is complete, you then start all over again at 1 betting unit.

This system is pretty basic. As long as the player sticks to the strategy, his chances of winning are greater. It is very important, however, that you have a win goal to aim for and a loss limit to observe. Ideally, your win goal should be half of what you buy in and your loss limit should correspond to ten unit bets.
