Instead of grand martingale the field, try it on the lays sometimes. But not a complete series. I’ve had crazy profits tring this. But only play what you can afford. Say you make a 5 hit progression on the lay 5-6 or 8 on a know badlucked guy... starting at 25$ it pays fast!

Hmmmmm, do you lay the point or the same number for each cycle?

re:martingale in field.
Gargoil--good post and session report.

I track/analyze thousands of rolls and consec NonField far outpaces the consec Field hits. Its not uncommon to see a 12-17 NONfield run, however, the lengthier Field runs typically seem to max out at 9-11 consecutive hits. The streaks that are extremely common and can really drain the (field bet on every roll) player are the back-to-back runs of 5-7 nonfields , one Field, and then immediately see another streak of 5-7 nonfield.

IMO if one chooses to do a martingale-type wager in the field it is more efficient to do a positive progression and parlay each hit to a predetermined level (say 5 hits, or parlay til back to even /then pull down 50% and then >=50% on each hit thereafter til back to base wager...etc). Its really nice when we get a bonus hit on the 4th or 5th parlay. An example would be up on each hit for 5 hits: 25,50,100,200,400, regress 200,100,50,25. I guess it just depends on our individual objectives.

Its not a bad play if one is on a 3x-12 table to do an up-and-pull approach by parlaying each hit(including 2/12) a specific # of times/ then bringing some back down. Once I hit the predetermined level I like to regress to <50% of whatever that max bet hit, and often I prefer to bring it back down to my starting wager.

re: Long runs--My tracking indicates the longest consec hits are: Field, PL, Dp, 6/8s . I like to play around with positive progressions and though the wins could be enormous I find a less volatile approach is much easier/consistent.

All the best,
