We Tested Linear Shotwell!](https://youtube.com/watch?v=G5sDcGl4nZk) ## Summary The video explains and tests the Linear Shotwell roulette strategy, a variation of the classic Shotwell system that uses Martingale-style doubling to recover losses and generate profit. The creator demonstrates a live session with real bets, breaking down the mechanics, risks, and results. ### Key Points - **Linear Shotwell introduced** [00:02] — The video presents the Shotwell Linear system, a variation of the classic Shotwell strategy that uses Martingale thinking to recover losses and generate additional profit even when the player loses. - **Play live roulette at licensed casinos** [01:43] — All Shotwell strategies exploit physical flaws in the roulette wheel, so they must be played at live tables. The demonstration uses euros at an Italian casino, and players are warned to avoid unlicensed casinos that may rig even live games. - **Shotwell recap: 27% coverage** [02:42] — The strategy combines a double street (6 numbers) with four single numbers, covering only 27% of the cylinder. There are three betting variations, available in a downloadable document linked to the casino list. - **Base bet setup** [03:12] — Using variation 2, the player places €5 on the double street covering numbers 10-15 and €1 on each individual number, for a total base bet of €9. A correct double street pays €21 profit, while a hit on an individual number pays €27. - **Doubling after a loss** [04:14] — After the first loss, the player doubles the entire bet: €10 on the double street and €2 per individual number, for a total of €18. This continues the Martingale principle until a win occurs. - **Profit while recovering losses** [05:15] — Because Shotwell payouts are high relative to bet size, each successful doubling not only recovers all previous losses but also creates extra profit. The longer the loss streak, the larger that profit becomes. - **Biggest risk: exponential doubling** [06:00] — Martingale is usually applied to bets with ~50% probability, but here the hit rate is only 27%. Multiple doublings are common and stakes rise exponentially; the current balance only supports four doublings before hitting the limit. - **First recovery win** [07:01] — After three doublings, a winning hit produces €240, covering all previous losses and leaving a net profit of €105. The balance rises to €384. - **Bankroll requirement** [09:26] — The system demands enough capital to support several doublings. With a four-round loss limit, you can only lose four spins in a row before depleting your balance; more doublings mean a larger safety margin. - **Martingale's fundamental flaw** [09:58] — No matter how many doublings you can afford, the probability of winning is never 100%. The presenter stresses that players should only risk money they can afford to lose. - **Session result** [10:26] — In under 9 minutes, the balance jumped from €279 to €462, a profit of €183. The presenter calls it a spectacular result but notes profits are not guaranteed. - **Final verdict** [10:41] — Linear Shotwell is an improvement over classic Shotwell and is one of the few Martingale variations that profits while recovering losses. It is aggressive, spicy, and risky — not for the faint of heart. ### Conclusion Linear Shotwell can deliver impressive short-term profits — €183 in 9 minutes in the demo — but its reliance on aggressive doubling with only 27% coverage makes it a high-risk system. The creator advises playing only with money you can afford to lose and sticking to licensed casinos. ## Transcript roulette strategy that allows you to make a profit even when you lose. Do you remember the Shotwell system? The one who exploits roulette's flaws to generate profits. It was covered in the last video and yes, the potential is there, but there's a problem: there's only a 27% chance of winning, which means that when it loses, future wins had better make up for it. But what if there was a variation that adjusts each bet to recoup losses and accumulate additional profits? We present the Shotwell Linear system. This variation not only allows you to recover losses, but also allows you to profit from them. But how? Well, today we're going to break it down completely, its pros, its cons, and whether it really delivers on its pros, its cons, and whether it really delivers on its promises. classic Shotwell system, but there have been requests for variations that focus on loss recovery. With such low coverage of only 27%, a recovery system can make a big difference. As I said, there are many variations, shotachi, shot and grind, but today we'll look at what is probably the best known, the linear shotwell. This strategy is designed to turn losses into designed to turn losses into profits. Let's see how it works. I assume you've already seen the video about the classic Shotwell system. If you haven't done so, you can find it right here above. OK? Let's begin. And here we go . Remember, all Shotwell strategies are based on the idea of ​​exploiting physical flaws in the roulette wheel, so they must be played in live roulette. It's currently being played in an Italian casino with euros, but the gameplay works the same regardless of the currency. Just make sure you play at a licensed casino. There are horror stories about shady, unlicensed casinos that rig even live roulette with magnetic balls. Many sites are unregulated, illegal, or even rigged, meaning you could lose your money and never get it back. If you're unsure , check the link in the description and the first comment for an updated list of legal and reliable casinos by country in Latin America and Spain. And one more tip: switching casinos from time to time could help reset the algorithms after a long session. A quick recap. The Shotwell strategy involves placing bets that combine a double street, six [music] numbers with four single numbers, covering the cylinder in a balanced way from a physical point of view. In fact, there are only three betting variations. These three that you see right here in this document. You can download it from the link in the casino list. It starts the same way as with the Shotwell Classic system. The second variation is chosen , so place €5 in the double street covering numbers 10 to 15 and €1 each in these individual numbers each in these individual numbers 16, 17, 20, 18 and 28. The proportion is maintained: one unit in each individual number and five in the double street. Currently, only 27% of the numbers are covered , but the profit potential is solid. If you guess the double street correctly, it's 21 profit. If an individual number falls , it's 27 units of profit. Let's see how this first profit. Let's see how this first turn goes. which was covered, but in the end it slid down to the eight. Bad luck. Okay slid down to the eight. Bad luck. Okay , we lost. And now this is where linear variation comes in. Simply double down. This means €10 on the double street and €2 on the single number for a total of 18. The idea behind the linear shortwell is simple. If you've been following the channel for a while, you'll be familiar with the concept of using the Martin Gala principle to recover losses, but instead of betting on red or black, you double the original bet. This way you not only get your money back when you win, but you also make a profit while you wait. But we weren't lucky in this round either. Another loss. What do we do? It is folded again, adhering to the basic rule of the martingale. Double until you win. This time that means €20 on the double street and €4 on the single street for a total of €36. Losing this strategy. Since less than a third of the table is being covered, doubling up is frequently part of the game. But the beauty of this system is that not only are you recovering all your previous losses as in a standard martingale, thanks to the high Shotwell payouts relative to the size of the bet, you are actually making an extra profit and the longer you wait or rather the more it doubles, the greater that profit becomes. [music] Another loss. Porras. Well, by now you know exactly what to do. Fold again. It means €40 on the individual number. And this is where we encounter the biggest problem with this system. It's quite risky. Martingale systems are typically used in bets with almost a 50% probability, such as red or black. But in this case you're applying it to a bet that only has a 27% success rate. This means you must wait for multiple duplications before winning. And as always, doubling down becomes very expensive and very fast, as the stakes increase exponentially. With your current balance, you can only afford up to four duplicates, setting a fairly low loss limit . Of course, one way to reduce risk is to allow more doubling up, either by lowering the base bet or increasing the capital, but that comes with its own risks which we'll discuss in a moment. For now, however, a victory is finally achieved. This gives a total gain of €240 which not only covers all previous losses, but also leaves a solid profit of €105 in this case. So the balance is at 384 and this is due to the exponential principle. Because the shotwell betting structure potential winnings and required bet size, the longer you keep doubling down, the larger keep doubling down, the larger that profit margin becomes. So now that the number has been guessed correctly, on the third doubling, the profit is high. When you win, you always reset to the base setup. You can also change the bet variation, so this time we'll go with the first option, covering the first double street. and it is lost. Totally normal. So now you know what comes next. It's time to start folding again. 10 euros on the double street and two euros on each of the four individual numbers. big, especially when you have a losing streak before you get a win. In a way, you actually make more profit by always losing, as long as you guess at least one winning number before your balance is depleted by those brutal double-ups . Clear. So, it's not just the potential winnings that [music] increase, the bet size does too, making it a risky roulette system. Let's see how this twist turns out. And there it is. The first duplication is correct. This means a gain duplication is correct. This means a gain of €72 and a solid profit of €45 after covering previous losses. Since it has been won, the base bet of €9 in total is reset, but we are going to change the numbers again covering the last of the three variations that we have not played. The longer you wait, the greater the benefit. [music] Any win after a losing streak will be much higher than what you'd get on the first spin, that €21 or €27. So the fact that Shotwell only covers 27% of the cylinder and that winning on the first spin is rare is actually a good thing for linear variation. Just make sure you get a win before you reach your doubling limit. And another loss. Well, you already know the procedure. Time to fold again. There is incredible earning potential, and the more you duplicate, the greater the benefits. But these duplications can become brutal and happen often. For this system to work, you need capital that can support enough duplication. With the loss limit set at four rounds, you can lose four spins in a row before you run out of your entire balance. In general, the more duplicates you can afford, the safer you'll be. So if you want to continue making profits for a while, make sure you have a very generous balance to allow for many duplicates. But here's the classic problem with the Martingale. No matter how many [music] duplications you can handle, your probability of winning is never your probability of winning is never 100%. That's why you should only ever bet what you can afford to lose, and nothing more. You win again, you hit the double street bet and the winnings are €60, which means only €33 profit after recovering the losses. OK. I think we can end the session. In less than 9 minutes of play, the balance jumped to 462 from €2, considering that it was convinced with 279. That gives a profit convinced with 279. That gives a profit of €183, about €200 in 9 minutes. A spectacular result. in 9 minutes. Not too bad. Of course, profits are not guaranteed no matter how many duplications you can afford. So , what about the linear shotwell? It is definitely an improvement over the classic shotwell. It is one of the few variations based on the martingale that actually allows you to make a profit while recovering losses. while recovering losses. It's aggressive, spicy, and the payouts can be massive, but it's risky. Definitely not for the faint of heart. [music] If you're willing to sacrifice some security for the chance to make big profits, this is your strategy. And stay tuned because we'll soon be covering more variations of Shotwell, such as shotachi. What do you think, students? Leave it in the comments, we always try to answer everyone.
