"Can you post an example of a series of 37 spins with 18 winners that loses?"

Sure. Start at $10, when we lose we add $10 to the bet, when we win we lower the bet by $10.

Win the first 18 spins = +$180

Lose the next 19 spins = -1900

You are contradicting yourself.
In the roulette example I provided, I had 18 wins and 19 losses and made a profit.


Your sample wasn't random. Either is the one I described above, ie both of our 'tests' are biased.

You said yourself that the wins will be worth more than the losses. To me this is saying that you agree that it will give you an advantage over straight bets.

No. If the the 2 bets pay even money, you still need to win >50% to profit.

Yes you are entitled to an opinion, but please if you are going to voice it, provide something to back it up.

Sure, it's called mathematics.

You can't just rock up and say it won't work. What is the reason that a progressive staking system does not give you an advantage.? On the figures I have provided, it does.

Yes I can.
All a staking system does is change the distribution of winnings/losses.
Again, your test was biased.

Where is your proof.?

All over the net. Check out bjmath.com, bj21.com, and maybe wizardofodds.com.

I'm sorry but you are wrong and it's a fact. If progessions gave an edge, the casino's wouldn't be in business. If it was so easy to profit at blackjack or roulette, why would the casino's offer the game?

I don't need to prove to you why progessions don't work, you need to prove to mathematicians all across the world why they DO work.
