Puntz,

your "method" is madness (as are ALL Roulette staking plans).

It is a variation on the absurd Martingale which boils down to "double up after a loss".

This new one triples up after a loss.

It spends far more money than the Martingale hence it should lose far more money.

Both systems are seductive in that you appear to be winning a little all the time. But on the rare occasions you lose, you lose big.

"Winning" $100 an hour suggests 20 spins at a minimum of $10 a spin.

For 20 spins there are ~6 occasions where you need to triple up.

At best this suggests a minimum hourly outlay of $200 + 6*$20 - i.e. $320.

This is costing you 320/37 i.e. ~$9 an hour losses over the long term.


P.S.

Dear Censor,

in case you are again tempted to euphemise the truth, may I remind you I'm paraphrasing Shakespeare (or Marlowe).
