STEPLADDER ON THE DARK SIDE
(CONSERVATIVE) – Part 1
BETTING AGAINST A NEW SHOOTER
MAKING 2 CONSECUTIVE PASS LINE WINS.
ALL BETS: DON’T PASS, WITH NO ODDS. 3 STAGES, TOTALING 27 UNITS.
STAGE 1: 2, 3 units
STAGE 2: 4, 5 units
STAGE 3: 6, 7 units
THE BASIC BETTING PROGRESSION
AFTER EACH LOSS, INCREASE THE NEXT BET BY 1 UNIT.
AFTER EACH WIN, DECREASE THE NEXT BET BY 1 UNIT.
AFTER 2 CONSECUTIVE LOSSES, STOP BETTING, AND WAIT FOR THE SEVEN-OUT BEFORE CONTINUE THE BETTING PROGRESSION AGAINST THE NEXT SHOOTER.
STAGE 1
START WITH 2 UNITS AGAINST A NEW SHOOTER.
IF THE 2 BET LOSES, BET 3 AGAINST THE NEXT COME-OUT ROLL. IF 3 BET LOSES, WAIT FOR NEXT SHOOTER, GO STAGE 2
IF THE 3 BET WINS, REGRESS THE NEXT BET BACK TO 2.
IF THE 2 BET WINS, CONTINUE WITH THE SAME BET. AFTER 3 CONSECUTIVE WINS, INCREASE TO 3 UNITS. AFTER 2 MORE WINS AT 3 UNITS, END THE SESSION.
(SEE: SUGGESTED STOP/ WIN LIMIT)
STAGE 2
AGAINST THE NEXT SHOOTER, START WITH 4 UNITS.
AFTER A LOSS, INCREASE THE NEXT BET TO 5.
AFTER A WIN, REGRESS THE NEXT BET TO 3.
IMPORTANT: IF THE 4-UNIT BET WINS, THE NEXT BET WILL BE 3, AND
STAGE 2 NOW BECOMES 3 AND 4 UNITS, INSTEAD OF 4 AND 5 UNITS.
(AT THIS POINT, 4 CONSECUTIVE LOSSES WOULD END THE SESSION,
AND THE 7-UNIT BET WOULD NOT BE MADE.)
2 CONSECUTIVE WINS OF 4 AND 3 REVERTS BETTING BACK TO STAGE 1.
STAGE 3
AGAINST THE NEXT SHOOTER, IF THE 6 BET WINS, THE NEXT BET WILL BE 5.
STAGE 3 NOW BECOMES 5 AND 6 UNITS, INSTEAD OF 6 AND 7 UNITS.
(AT THIS POINT, 2 CONSECUTIVE LOSSES WOULD END THE SESSION,
AND THE 7-UNIT BET WOULD NOT BE MADE.)
2 CONSECUTIVE WINS OF 6 AND 5 REVERTS BETTING BACK TO STAGE 2,
AND STAGE 3 ONCE AGAIN BECOMES 6 AND 7.
THEORY BEHIND THE STEPLADDER
AFTER THE FIRST 2-UNIT BET OF STAGE 1, EACH WIN RECOVERS THE PREVIOUS LOSING BET, AND YIELDS A PROFIT OF 1 UNIT. GOING UP AND DOWN THE STEPLADDER PRODUCES 1-UNIT PROFITS WHEN THE “LOSE ONE / WIN ONE”, OR “WIN ONE / LOSE ONE” PATTERNS OCCUR. A SESSION CONSISTING OF THE SAME NUMBER OF WINNING AND LOSING BETS BECOMES A WINNING SESSION, INSTEAD OF BREAKING EVEN MAKING THE SAME FLAT BETS ALL THE TIME.
EXAMPLE: – 2 +3, – 2 +3, – 2 +3 ( = +3)
+5 –4, +5 –4, +5 –4 ( = +3)
EXAMPLE: LOSE 3 IN A ROW: – 2, – 3, – 4 ( – 9)
THEN, WIN 3 IN A ROW: +5, +4, +3 (+12)
IMPORTANT:
ALL 1-UNIT PROFITS FROM WINNING BETS SHOULD BE LOCKED UP, AND NEVER BE BROUGHT INTO PLAY DURING THE CURRENT SESSION. IN THE EVENT OF THE LOSS OF ALL 3 STAGES, THEY WILL MAKE THE BUY-IN FOR A NEW SESSION THAT MUCH LESS THAN THE REQUIRED 27 UNITS.
27-UNIT BUY-INS:
@ $ 5 – $ 135
@ $ 10 – $ 270
@ $ 25 – $ 675
@ $100 – $2700
SUGGESTED STOP / WIN LIMIT: 6 – 10 UNITS PER SESSION.
STEPLADDER FOR THE MORE AGGRESSIVE BETTOR
EXACTLY THE SAME BETTING STRATEGY AS ABOVE, USING
21 UNITS, AS FOLLOWS:
STAGE 1: 1, 2
STAGE 1: 1, 2
STAGE 2: 3, 4
STAGE 3: 5, 6
(SUGGESTED STOP / WIN LIMIT OF 6 – 10 UNITS MAY BE REACHED MUCH MORE QUICKLY COMPARED TO THE CONSERVATIVE METHOD)
