About the Base Two Betting System
There are a number of betting systems that have been designed for specific casino games. The Base Two system is actually applicable for any game that features even money betting options. That would include Craps, Baccarat, Blackjack and Roulette. The system is easy to use and very easy to track. It has nothing to do with game playing strategy, it is simply a progressive betting system designed to give a player on a hot streak the ability to maximize their winnings.
How the Base Two System Work
As is the case with most progressive betting systems, the player has to start the process by deciding how much money will be wagered as a minimum bet and what the corresponding maximum will. The two betting options are the basis for the system’s name. The first bet will always be for the minimum amount. If the initial bet loses, the player will continue to make minimum bets until they hit a winner. That’s pretty much standard fare for a progressive betting system.
It’s the subsequent betting process after a win that differentiates this system from others. The very next bet after a win should be for the predetermined maximum wager amount. Every subsequent wager should be for the maximum until a losing bet hits and the entire betting sequence is restarted.
Let’s look at a practical example: The player set their minimum wager at $10 and the maximum is $50. The first bet on Red when playing Roulette is for $10. If the player loses, they bet $10 on the second spin. If the win, the immediately place a wager of $50 on Red. If that bet wins, they can bet $50 again on the next spin or revert bak to $10 on a loss.
Does It Work?
The laws of probability as they apply to gambling are as follows: each action (spin of a wheel/reel, roll of a die or flip of a card) is a random event unaffected by the proceeding results. Accepting this as gospel dictates that the player understand that increasing the wager after a win does nothing to increase the likelihood of another win. At all times, the house’s advantage is stagnate. In fact, the house’s advantage actually increases when players try to get creative to gain advantage.
The primary advantage to the Base Two system is as follows: the play can sustain huge gains should they hit a winning streak that lasts for several spins. By dropping back to a minimum wagers after a loss, they have the opportunity to think about the gains they have made while they plug away looking for another winning streak.
