Yeah BJ that's why I was advising against betting percentages of the bank. All staking systems apart from LEVEL go either up in defeat or up in victory and then the other way, whether as a percentage of the bank OR in fixed amounts (ie 1,2,2,3,3,3,2,2,1 etc, etc) OR you bet less when the odds are high and more when they are low (ie $10 at 10-1 to win $100 and $100 at even money to STILL win $100) though you can't know the "true odds".
The example of a CRAZY CASINO is to demonstrate that even the gambler's dream (overs on every event) will be wrecked by straying from LEVEL stakes. That staking systems don't work with a certified built-in advantage (ie a positive expectation) should be enough to scare you away from negative-expectation games/sports (with a built-in DISadvantage) even more!!!.
