Betting System: The 1 3 2 6


The 1 3 2 6 betting system falls under the positive progression system similar to the parolli betting system. The name of this betting system pretty much says it all. This system is based on a betting pattern, 1 unit then 3 and 2 units then 6.

For example, if each unit represents $5 and odds are 1 to 1, even money, the first bet will be $5. If this initial bet wins, the winning is added to the $10 to make the bet at $15. if the second bet wins again there would be $30 on the table. $20 is taken down to make the bet at $10. If the third bet happens to win again, there will be $20 on the table in which to add $10 making a total 0f $30 for the fourth bet. There would be a total of $60 net profits on the table. Start the system again at $10. each you lose you lose at any point start over again at $10. Once the cycle is completed, loop back and start over your betting at $5

The 1 3 2 6 betting system is very interesting strategy. The allure to using this system is that you only risk small amount to win large amount, if you complete the betting cycle. You can lose six times at the worst level (second bet), and with one win (a set of four wins in a row) you can get your money back.

This betting System is not recommended for the game of blackjack unless for fun. This betting system requires to win 4 hands in a row to complete the cycle of this system.This betting system would be fun for a recreational player but no serious blackjack player should use this strategy to try to turn large profits.

Betting System: Martingale System



The Martingale is a premier negative progressive blackjack betting system. If you're a risk-taker, and also have large bankroll, this system is what you're looking for.

In this betting system, initial bets remains the same after each win and doubles it in every loss. If you lose again you double your bet. You keep doing this until you win.

Here's the example for this betting system, assuming we played at $5 dollar table. Most casinos have a maximum bet. Most five-dollar tables have a maximum bet of $500. Using the martingale betting system which you double you bet after every loss, the progression will look like this.

Initial bet $5 and you lose.
next bet is $10. If you lose:
next bet is $20. If you lose:
next bet is $40. If you lose:
next bet is $80. If you lose:
next bet is $160. If you lose:
next bet is $320. If you lose:
next bet is $640, which exceeds the maximum bet for the table.

It only takes eight consecutive losses to exceed the table limit. You will only win five dollars if you eventually hit. This takes into account all your progressions up to that point. Even if you could exceed the $500 maximum bet, on the eighth bet you are risking $640 to win $5. You have already invested $635 for your previous seven bets. If you lose that one you are out $1,275. This betting system is proven in player that has large bankroll. But the casinos have thought this,and protect themselves by making high minimum amd low minimum blackjack tables to stop martingale users dead in their tracks.

Systems like the Martingale are not highly recommended. This system may work for a short run. No matter what is your game, you should not rely on it too heavily. In gambling especially blackjack, you have the great basic strategy to rely on. Always remember, luck comes and goes but knowledge stays forever.. Keep on gambling!!!!
