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.”
  • 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

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.
