The essence of the Parlay System

So, what is the essence of this roulette playing system?

It is simple enough. If everybody accepts the fact that Martingale in its simplest and stupid version is so very bad, then why not try to beat a Casino by its own bludgeon? You can force a casino to play against you according to Martingale!

Parlay is a system of doubling the bet while winning and for all that it is necessary to set the limit of doubling. For example, one can stop (or fix his profit) after every fifth win in a row. To make it easier to understand, let’s consider a succession of bets on red.

No. of bet	Amount of bet	Result	Balance
1	1	loss	-1
2	1	wn	0
3	2	wn	2
4	4	loss	-2
5	1	loss	-3
6	1	loss	-4
7	1	loss	-5
8	1	wn	-4
9	2	wn	-2
10	4	wn	2
11	6	wn	8
12	8	wn	16

Pay your attention to the following three aspects:

• 1. There is equal amount of wins and losses in the table above – just as it usually happens in real life, but the result is highly encouraging.
• 2. In case of unfortunate concourse of circumstances that appears in a series of losses your damages grow in arithmetical progression, that means you loose one chip with every spin of roulette (all in all 5 chips after 5 spins And case of good concourse of circumstances your profit grows in geometric series, and after a series of five wins you get a total winning of 21 chips. As far as you can see the risk of loss is very big for a casino, while for the player, the risk of loss is quite moderate and acceptable.
• 3. A player is able to settle the degree of aggressiveness of the Parlay System himself by fixing the limit of doubling.

It is evident that if a player has set the limit of doubling on the level of three wins in a row, he will win often but his winnings won’t be large. This version of Parlay System can be determined as a mild one. If a player sets the limit of doubling on the level of 10 wins in a row, he will win rather seldom, but in the same time will surely be impressed by the amount of winnings – and the casino will be impressed as well. That will be really aggressive style of playing.
