## Summary

In this live roulette session, the creator tests the 'Lose to Win Big' betting system designed by Sanji, which uses corner, split, and dozen bets with a progressive stake. After a brutal losing streak that puts him $526 down, he abandons the strict reset rules and 'freestyles' to claw back to a $127 profit. The video captures both the mechanics of the system and the real-world pressure of running it.

### Key Points

- **Strategy intro** [00:03] — The video presents the 'Lose to Win Big' roulette strategy from Sanji, starting with an $11 bet. The session is set to 37 spins.
- **Placing the base bet** [00:47] — At a live table, the corner bets can be placed by saying the lowest and highest numbers — '13 17' — covering 13, 14, 16, 17, and related corners (13, 17, 14, 18, 19, 23, 24).
- **Progression rule** [01:02] — After a loser, increase the corner bets by $1 and the dozen bet by $2. The cycle alternates: next loss raises splits by $1 and the dozen by $2.
- **Base bet composition** [01:14] — The starting bet consists of $1 on the corners, $4 on the second dozen, and $1 on the splits, totaling $11.
- **Jackpot number expectation** [03:02] — Over 37 spins, the strategy assumes a jackpot number should appear at least once. Zero is called 'horrible' because it doesn't pay enough to recover.
- **Heavy reliance on key numbers** [04:07] — With few early wins, the session becomes reliant on 14, 17, 20, and 23. The creator estimates three of those hits may be needed for profit.
- **Unlucky start** [06:35] — After 14 spins, only one winner has hit despite 14 winning numbers covered, described as 'obviously unlucky'.
- **Low coverage frustration** [08:15] — The creator criticizes low-coverage systems; even with 14 winning numbers, he has hit only one winner in 14 spins.
- **Freestyling begins** [09:02] — Down massively, he stops following the strict reset rule and reduces bets ('come down to level two') to try to get money back.
- **Reset rule breaks down** [11:23] — Resetting to $11 from deep in the hole 'made no sense', so he continues with adjusted bets instead of the original progression.
- **Back to session profit** [12:34] — After a 'miracle' run, the session reaches profit and he resets. He notes he was $526 down and is now $2 up in 23 spins.
- **Winning corner rule** [13:16] — Sanji's rule: when a corner bet wins, repeat the same bet; when a jackpot number hits, reset the bet.
- **Expected loss ratio** [15:09] — With 14 winning numbers, the creator says the expected ratio is roughly two losses for every one win.
- **Strategy summary** [17:29] — The system involves raising corners and dozen, then splits and dozen; when in a big hole, the creator steps in to change the plan.
- **Final spins** [18:44] — At 35 spins, another win occurs, but a jackpot number is needed in the next two spins for the strategy to advance to the next round.
- **Final result** [19:28] — The session ends $127 up after being $526 down. The creator asks the community whether to continue the strategy.

### Conclusion

The 'Lose to Win Big' strategy can recover dramatically, but only because the creator deviated from the original rules during a catastrophic losing streak. Whether the system is genuinely profitable remains an open question for the community.

## Transcript

win big and it's presented to us by Sanji. I've got the bet saved and we'll you through the progression as we go along. Let me just turn my light on. It might be a bit dark. There we go. So, after this, we'll get our bet on the
table. Talk you through what we're about to do. It's going to be highly focused on jackpot numbers, I think. But with 37 spins, >> you probably should hit a jackpot number. It depends when you hit. Anyway,
let's get the bet on the table. So, lose to win big $11 starting bet. Let me just show you what it looks like. So, you're at a live table and you want to put the bet on that covers 13, 14, 16,
put the bet on that covers 13, 14, 16, and 17, all you need to say is 1317. The lowest number and the highest number. So, we've got 13, 17, 14, 18, So, we've got 13, 17, 14, 18, 19, 23, and 24. There are corners all
covered with a dollar. Okay, >> I'll explain the base bet in a minute. On a loser, we are going to go up the corners on a dollar. Go up the
dozen by $2. Okay, just want to quickly get on the table. So, this isn't going to look like the starting bet, but we had a dollar on those corners and $4 on the second dozen. And then we also have a dollar on those splits there. Okay.
So, after we've lost, we've gone up a dollar on the corners and $2 on the dozen after our first loss. After our second loss, we're going to repeat the bet. We're going to add a dollar to our splits and $2 to our dozen. We lose
again. Corners uh corners by a dozen. What am I talking uh corners by a dozen. What am I talking about? Corners by a dollar and then about? Corners by a dollar and then dozen by two. Lose again. Splits by a
dollar, dozen by two. And just follow that cycle around. Resetting in session profit. >> Likely to hit a fair amount of losers to >> Likely to hit a fair amount of losers to be fair. So repeat that there.
quarters go up a per dollar dozen goes up by two. Now resetting session profit and we will hit some winners and it obviously it depends when we hit some winners. Where am I here? >> So for example these corner bets at the
into session profit. So we're going to need to hit more than um one or two of those. 14 17 20 and 23 are going to be ideal for us. We lost that. So, you're going to repeat the bet, go up on the splits,
go up two on the dozens. So, this is called lose to win big. So, I'm guessing you want to hit a couple of losers, then go jackpot number, jump in.
As we're playing 37 spins, we're expecting a jackpot number to come out hopefully at least once in the session. Zero's horrible, session. Zero's horrible, >> but is it going to pay enough to get
where we need to get to? Anyway, repeat the bet. We're going up this dozen. Uh, so what am I talking about? I can't speak for some reason. We're going up on the corners by a dollar and the dozen by $2.
$2. >> Miss splits by a dollar, >> dozen by two. Quarters splits, quarter splits. Don't know why that's so difficult for me to explain. Really needed to land in this second dozen kind
of soon. 23 would have been great, but wasn't to be. >> Uh, guys, we're $150 down. This isn't >> Uh, guys, we're $150 down. This isn't looking great. All right, splits
and doesn't. So, we are heavily reliant on 14, 17, So, we are heavily reliant on 14, 17, 20, and 23 already because even um any
other number that just hits those corners profit. We're probably going to have to hit three of those to be honest.
close, but no cigar. Uh repeat the bet. A dollar on our corners and a dollar on our dozen. Guys, this is looking not good at all. Um, if I just go in here, have we had any lucky numbers hit?
>> Even if I started this video earlier, we haven't hit a winner in those 13 spins. Got a new dealer now. Hopefully, she starts landing in the middle dozen.
18's going to work. It's not going to be great, but it's better than what was happening before. So, I returned $99 from a $50 bet, which is obviously better than losing $50, but hardly made a dent in what
$50, but hardly made a dent in what we're trying to do. $145 down to $194 we're trying to do. $145 down to $194 down. So, I can see straight away we are massively, massively, massively reliant on 14, 17, 20, and 23. If we'd
wouldn't be the case. >> See, even 11 would have been okay. >> Right. Let's repeat this bet. Uh that from the looks of that, we need to go up
on the splits. >> And now the dozen. So everything's got five on it and then 20 on the
on the dozen. Do we even get into session profit if we hit 17 or 20? Get into 17. It's been either side now.
>> Says we're going to win big. >> I hope it's right. everything in the in the second dozen is a winner. And then 11 and 26 are going
to be small wins. Yeah, they are going to win. Five time 17 75 85 excuse me. So it is going to win money. Oh my goodness. It was in 17 for a second.
splits >> and go up two on a dozen. Yes. So we have 12 + 11 + 26. So 11 sorry 12 13 14. We have 14 winning numbers. To go 10 losers and one win is
obviously unlucky, but I've said said it before. When it comes to >> this is terrible. happen. >> Congratulations.
>> Congratulations. >> We need to do our corners. >> This is sort of emphasizing why I don't like low coverage now. That's close.
like low coverage now. That's close. >> This is probably one of the worst literally hit the middle dozen once since we've been at a table.
>> What on earth is going on here? Right next to 23. >> but I don't find it funny. >> $77 bet.
A jackpot number here is not going to do it, I don't think. And so I don't even know what to do. He said reset when you hit a jackpot number, but you're not hit a jackpot number, but you're not going to be in session profit if you do.
stay away from low coverage. This isn't even like super low coverage to be honest. 14 winning numbers. Have I only hit one winner in 13 in 14 spins?
>> Right. I'm going to just make this up. I don't think it's going to win. So, it's don't think it's going to win. So, it's going to go to like a $55 bet. He says reset when you hit a jackpot number, but I don't think he expected that to
happen. So maybe if you do hit a jackpot number early on, you go into session profit and you can reset. Um, but I can't afford to >> Good job I didn't. I might actually get my money back here.
my money back here. >> Wow. Okay, let's come down to level two. By the way, I am just freestyling now. So Sanji now. So Sanji sort of said reset when you hitting a
jackpot number. And that that obviously was never going to get into session profit. It was never going to hit the $100 if it did. So I'm just gonna see if I can kind of get my money back playing it this way.
>> Am I session profit? >> No. >> No. >> Congratulations.
um, then Sanji, you owe me a big favor because we would go back down to $11 bets if we hit this. Like, when we're $249 down, we'd have reset to $11, which obviously wouldn't
have made any sense. >> Now, all the middle dozens come. They rolled them in at once. Now, I brought my bets down.
>> So, we didn't have any middle dozen and then we've gone, where's this gone? 1723 1624. Now, if he had said only reset in session profit, we'd have had massive wins here. But to be honest,
>> I probably wouldn't have played the system >> if it was only reset in session profit. Let's just go. Let's follow this. A Let's just go. Let's follow this. A dollar, a dollar, a dollar, a dollar, go
up two. Yeah, if it was um reset in session profit, >> I would have probably gone I can't do >> I would have probably gone I can't do that with only 14 winning numbers. Um
on a long losing streak. To be honest, I didn't expect a losing streak to go on didn't expect a losing streak to go on that bad. Repeat. We're going up a dollar, a dollar, a dollar. But because he had
that reset when you hit a jackpot number, I was thinking, okay, that that's kind of fine. Like, we can get close and reset. But to be that far away
and reset to $11, it just made no sense. So, we're just freestyling here, guys. Some of you will not like that. I am going get to 20. Never mind. >> We're just seeing if we can get out of a
bit of trouble from 37 numbers. >> Uh we go in. We need to our corners.
duper aggressive, you could say reset only resetting session profit and we'd I don't I don't think that one would have got us into session profit. I
forget what level I was when I came down. dollar, and going up two there. But to rely on
1720, wait, what do we hit? That's a cool >> to rely on going 1723 and then another winner to be in session profit. It's like you're asking for a miracle. We hit a miracle and we still didn't get into
session profit. 14 works nicely. 14 works nicely. >> We're in session profit. Wow. Reset. >> Look at that. And that's >> we're $2 up in 23 spins,
which is which might sound like I'm joking, and I kind of am, but joking, and I kind of am, but considering I was $526 down, uh to be $2 up, I'm actually really
uh to be $2 up, I'm actually really really happy once, don't they? That's a small win. So, we just repeat that bet.
>> So, you would have noticed um when I was sort of freestyling, I'll just go back to these numbers here. >> When 16 and 24 came in, I just repeated the bet. Sanji explicitly said, um, when those corner bets win, just repeat the
bet. Corner bets win, repeat the bet. Jackpot numbers come in, reset the bet. >> Congratulations. >> I couldn't. And don't worry, some of you
guys are are really mean and you'd be like, um, this strategy probably agree because I have changed it like quite dramatically because I don't
know what we were on, how much we were betting here. Five. I think we're betting like $55 when you'd normally be betting $11. Um, but we want to give it a chance. We want
just to see if we can get into the green with our 37 spins. with our 37 spins. >> I repeat this bet.
Because >> no reset that, that and that would have put us into the green and probably quite high into the green. But no reset would have probably meant that this strategy would never get shown or played.
>> Okay, we're just repeating that bet because we're not in session profit and it's just that corner bet. >> So $12, $4 up
I've got a croaky voice. >> Our stats are starting to look like what they should now. Kind of. We're still on the unlucky side. We should be losing one for every No, should be losing two
for every one that we win. Roughly speaking, 23 is great. >> In profit, right, reset. I'm And when I say that, when I say how
is this in profit, I mean because we were I mean because we were $526 down. Now, I know that this can on wouldn't I'm not just going to play a system that I think can't work.
isn't it? It's going to be quite a funny one. We'll have to let people know. But >> we'll have to let people >> in the comment section >> say like, "Yeah, play it again. Use the same rules that you've used." Or just
say, "No, sorry, Sanji." Um, you had to rely on Greg stepping in a bit too much rely on Greg stepping in a bit too much there. make $100, but it's kind of close to be honest.
>> The progression here. Repeat the bet. One, one, one, one, two, two. So, I just One, one, one, one, two, two. So, I just want to clarify that I think if this didn't go on a horrific run,
>> the rule that he said sort of reset when you hit a jackpot number could do well and could like could actually make money here. You've seen it build up.
going up on the corners and then going up on the splits, I think it does have potential, but you run into that and you basically have to change your game plan. You run into this,
hit a jackpot number, you're like halfway back. So you then have to step in and go, "Right, I reduce my bets, but not all the way." Or I mean, feel free to fully reset, but you'll probably never get
reset, but you'll probably never get your money back if you do that. >> Uh, let's repeat this bare corners this time.
So yeah, I think this is one that you could play and have like the basic rule >> doing what we're doing, going up on the corners, going up on the dozen, going up on the splits, going up on a dozen, and then going right, I'm in a big big
and then going right, I'm in a big big hole here. I need to change it. >> Congratulations. >> We're going up on a split >> and the dozen. So, I'm just assuming that Sanji just
never anticipated to go. I mean, I don't I don't remember how much it was. I think from memory, I think we're on like 14 losers, one win, something along those lines. I just think he never anticipated it to get
like that. We've actually hit a um a small win there. So, we're not resetting >> because we're not in session profit and we haven't hit a jackpot number. Because you look here, like when you do hit a jackpot number, you fly into session
profit and you can reset. Makes makes complete sense. And I think even if you lost like 10 in a row, hit a jackpot number, you could a row, hit a jackpot number, you could reset because you'd be kind of close.
>> Winning number six, even low number. What we on here? 35 spins. Let's repeat >> Congratulations. >> A dollar, a dollar, a dollar, a dollar, >> A dollar, a dollar, a dollar, a dollar, and $2 there. And if we hit a jackpot
close to this $100. And I'd love to see if the comment if the um community want this to go through to the next round. >> We got to hit a jackpot number in the >> We got to hit a jackpot number in the next two spins for that to happen,
I kind of want to see that go through to the next round. As it stands, it's not because that was a big step in from me. I'm just over the moon that from $526
I'm just over the moon that from $526 down, we've gone to $127 up. Let me know what you think of that one. Subscribe to channel. Sign up to casino I'm playing at using the code matchmaker. Let me know what we should do with this
strategy. And I'll see you in the next video. Cheers guys.
