It's been a long time since we played this one. When we explained it in the past, it became one of the most popular videos ever here. So today, I'm playing it again with higher stakes, a $5 base unit and a $150 profit goal. How long will it take me? Will I make it? Stay tuned because you don't want to miss what happened.

Link in the description and first comment. The 5 by 5 strategy is a powerful method that gives you a high board coverage and 81% chances of hitting a one-unit win in the first spin. And if you lose, you counteract with a second recovery bet that has another 81% winning chance of recovering. If you haven't seen it yet, go watch our previous video where we break it down step-by-step. You'll find Here is a quick recap of how it works in practice. You place one unit on five out of six double streets, aka a bet covering six adjacent numbers. We'll have an 81% chance of winning six units, making one in profit, and 90% chances of losing five units. In case we lose, we will quintuple the original bet, so five units on each of the five double street, 25 units in total. We'll have another 81% chance of making a five-unit profit, aka recovering everything and restarting with a base bet. So in practice, you have around a 96% chance of winning in a full cycle. And that sounds insane on paper, right? Well, it is, unless you get unlucky. Then of [music] course, you do lose a Then of [music] course, you do lose a total of 30 units. So is it worth it? Well, let's try it out together once more. use a $5 base unit for each double street. In case I face a loss, my total bet is going to increase to $25 on each double street. My goal today is to reach double street. My goal today is to reach a $150 profit. How long will it take me? Let's find out. Before I start, remember this. Even great strategies do not matter if you play at the wrong casino. There are unsafe casinos out there that can ruin everything. Rigged games, delayed withdrawals, or worse, casinos that simply disappear without a trace and steal your money. For that reason, it's essential that you only play on safe and licensed casinos. We made a full country-by-country list, which you can find in the description and pinned in the first comment. Okay then, let's place our first bet. $5 on then, let's place our first bet. $5 on the first five double streets. And there it is. First hit as expected. Won $30. And since we just bet 25, that's a $5 profit. Since I won, I will repeat the same bet and spin again. Second win, another $5 in the pocket. Second win, another $5 in the pocket. Same bet again. And that's pretty normal. We'll make a $5 profit on eight out of 10 spins. Let's keep going. The same bet until we lose. And another hit, $20 in profit now. Same bet, $25. Of course, remember that when we lose, we'll actually lose $25 like any high coverage system. The loss is less likely, but more painful. And here it is, the first loss. As I was just saying, I lost $25. So I could just keep going and hoping for five winning normal rounds, or do the 5 by 5 recovery, which is what I'm going to do now. I'll quintuple everything, placing $25 on each double street. [music] My total bet is now $125, so quite a lot. But this bet gets me another 81% chance But this bet gets me another 81% chance to win and recover everything. And won, $150 minus the 125 just bet means a profit of $25, exactly what I just lost earlier. So we've recovered everything, and I'll now go back to the original $5 on each double street. So, you got it? This is the logic. Every win, I repeat the same bet, and 81% of the time, I'll make a $5 profit. If I lose, I quintuple to recover, and I've got another 81% chance of winning and recovering everything. So in total, I have a 96.39% chance of either winning or recovering everything. But, I hear you ask, what if everything. But, I hear you ask, what if I lose again in that small 3.61% chance? Well, technically, I should quintuple once more to $625 total, and that should give you another 81% chance of recovering everything. But, I think it's insane to risk that amount of money just to recover a $25 initial bet. So my suggestion is to stop and take the loss instead of going for a third spin. We always teach in this channel the importance of stop losses, avoiding chasing losses forever, because that is a dangerous game. Better to enter a session with a clear stop loss and respecting that. And talking about stop losses, let me tell you one thing most players completely ignore. Systems alone are not enough. You can't make one system and hope that it will always work. The real edge comes from knowing when to rotate strategies, when to stop, and how to sabotage. This is exactly what we teach inside our roulette mastery playbook. It's not just a list of strategies, it's a complete framework built through years of real play where we break down structure, bankroll control, and risk exposure in a way that actually makes sense. The playbook is already priced well below its value, and members of our free community get an extra discount on top of the many other benefits such as access to free tools and charts.

Let's see how long it takes for me to Let's see how long it takes for me to get to $150. target, so time to end this session. I started with $452 and closed my balance at 602. That's a $150 profit in less than 11 minutes of play. Not too shabby, right? the 5 by 5 strategy is that, well, it has a very high chance of winning. The issue? You bet five units to profit one. And then if you have to recover, you have to bet 25 units. So profit margins are small, as usual with any high coverage strategy. And in that unlikely, but not impossible scenario where you lose also with the second round, you've lost a total of 30 units to try and make one in profit. Worth it? Well, I'll leave the decision to you. I personally think if used with caution, it can be a great strategy for short-term winnings, as long as you play it knowing the risks and make it part of a bigger framework, like we teach in our roulette mastery playbook and in our free community.
