Heavy's Three Stage Up-As-You-Win Progression

Here’s a dark side strategy I’ve adapted from a roulette system I used to play. You systems players might enjoy testing it out. It’s a three-stage progression that requires a $200 bankroll and consists of a series of four betting levels per stage. Since stages two and three begin with a regression, money management is built in.
Like all systems, there are also a few rules you should follow. First off, you begin the series with a new shooter. If you win on that shooter you increase the size of your wager on the next shooter, progressing from level to level, stage to stage with successive wins. However, if you lose a bet to a Come Out seven or eleven you stop wagering until the next shooter. If a shooter makes his pass and knocks off your Don’t bet you stop wagering until the next shooter. Never lose twice on the same shooter. And when you begin the series again you start at one-unit in level one. Here’s the progression in Level One:
STAGE ONE:
$10 (one unit bet) - bet wins - progress to next step
$20 (two unit bet) - bet wins - progress to next step
$30 (three unit bet) - bet wins - progress to next step
$50 (five unit bet) - bet wins - progress to next step
Let’s play a series to give you an idea of how it shakes out. We’ll take a trip down to Perfect World Casino – where all strategies test out just like they’re supposed to.
You begin your play with a new shooter by placing $10 on the Don’t Pass. Let’s say the shooter tosses a five on the Come Out. Now you wait for a decision on that point. If you win that decision you parlay the winnings to the Don’t Pass and your next bet is $20.
Now let’s say the next shooter sets the four as the point. Again, you wait for a decision. Sure enough, the shooter sevens out and you win another $20. At this point you lock up your initial $10 “investment” and press the Don’t Pass wager to $30.
The next shooter tosses a Come Out seven. You lose your Don’t Pass wager. You are also through wagering on this shooter. On the next shooter you will start your progression over again with a $10 wager on the Don’t Pass.
For the sake of this example, though, let’s pretend the shooter sets the nine as the point and then sevens out. This time you win $30. This time you lock up a $10 profit and press the Don’t Pass bet up to $50.
The next shooter tosses a Come-Out three-craps and you win $50. At this point you lock up q $50 win and regress to the first level of Stage Two.
Stage Two:
$15 (one and a half units)
$30 (three units)
$45 (four and a half units)
$75 (seven and a half units)
Stage Two plays out just like Stage One, with one exception. On any loss you return to Stage One and start the progression over again. However, as long as you continue to win you continue to press toward the next Stage.
In order to reach Stage Three you must win eight consecutive Don’t Pass wagers. On those rare occasions when this happens you will regress to a $25 Don’t Pass bet for Stage Three.
STAGE THREE:
$25 (two and a half units)
$50 (five units)
$75 (seven and a half units)
$100 (ten units)
If you complete all three stages you have a number of options available to you. You could regress back to Stage One or Stage Two and run the progressions up again. You could simply regress and repeat Stage Three. Or you might decide to stay at the $100 level until you suffer a loss, then color up and call it a day.
Flat betting strategies – though often boring – are among the most cost efficient ways to play the game. The house edge is low and since you are only betting the Don’t Pass Line, you extend your table time for comp purposes. But regardless of what the system sellers tell you, no system gives you an edge over the house. Play them for fun. But if you want to play to win – learn to control the dice.
