Video summary
Reverse labouchere analysed in roulette Xtreme roulette simulator
Main summary
Key takeaways
Game/Storyline
- This video isn’t a narrative game—it focuses on roulette betting systems tested using the “Xtreme roulette simulator.”
- The system discussed uses a reverse Labouchere / reverse level-stake progression, attributed to Norman Lee, who claimed it could be exploited when playing on biased roulette wheels.
Gameplay / How the System Is Played (Reverse Labouchere / Reverse Level Share)
- The player chooses a color bet (example shown: Red).
- The simulator prompts for:
- Maximum bet size (example used: a very high value to avoid house limits).
- A progression list is used (default shown as 1, 2, 3, 4).
- Betting rule demonstrated:
- Take the first + last numbers of the current progression to form the next bet amount.
- After each result:
- Win: the progression is updated by including values shown in the process (the video demonstrates removing/adding so the progression changes).
- Loss: the progression is altered so the bet sequence effectively moves “opposite” the normal progression.
- The video repeats spins while the progression values change.
- When the progression list becomes empty, it resets to 1, 2, 3, 4.
- Note shown in the demo:
- Roulette can include 0; the video indicates crossing out/ignoring 0 in the progression logic during the example.
Gameplay Highlights / Results from the Simulator
- Short demo outcome:
- The session shows mixed wins and losses as the progression changes, including bet amounts derived from sums like 1 + 4 = 5, then subsequent sums as the progression updates.
- Long-run test:
- Over a target bankroll (sped up to 10,000), the system:
- Produces many small wins and occasional spikes.
- But overall trends toward slow losses, described as:
- “guarantees a slow steady loss”
- Only “small chance of winning a lot.”
- Over a target bankroll (sped up to 10,000), the system:
- Mentioned pattern vs. another system:
- The reverse system creates the opposite spike behavior compared to the “reversal above system”:
- One system shows upward movement with occasional spikes down
- The reverse version shows downward movement with occasional spikes up
- The reverse system creates the opposite spike behavior compared to the “reversal above system”:
Key Strategies / Tips Discussed
- Main takeaway:
- On fair roulette, the reverse progression is bad and tends to bleed slowly.
- Why Norman Lee allegedly used it:
- If the wheel/table is biased (not random), betting a certain color (e.g., Red) could produce:
- repeated streaks (the “spikes”)
- Moments where you could capitalize by cashing out during favorable runs
- The system is presented as a way to endure fluctuations until a biased “spike” occurs.
- If the wheel/table is biased (not random), betting a certain color (e.g., Red) could produce:
