## Summary

The video demonstrates the Z-system, a Fibonacci-based betting strategy for roulette, using a random number generator to simulate gameplay. The presenter shows how to manage bets and bankroll, aiming to double the initial stake while minimizing risk.

### Key Points

- **Introduction to Z-system** [00:02] — The Z-system is a betting system for roulette that uses a Fibonacci-like progression to manage bets and recover losses.
- **Comparison with Martingale** [00:16] — Martingale requires doubling bets after losses, leading to large bets quickly. Z-system uses a smaller progression, making it more feasible.
- **Betting progression** [01:13] — The progression is 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., based on Fibonacci but adjusted to avoid large bets. Total initial bankroll is 17 chips.
- **Simulation start** [02:25] — Using a random number generator to simulate roulette spins. Bets are placed on columns (2:1 payout).
- **Profit after series** [04:57] — After a series of wins and losses, the system yields a small profit (1 chip) while recovering losses.
- **Doubling the bankroll** [09:07] — After several rounds, the initial 17 chips are doubled to 34 chips, demonstrating profitability in this simulation.
- **Risk management advice** [10:13] — Recommendation to play with winnings only, keeping initial capital safe. Betting systems have flaws and are not guaranteed.

### Conclusion

The Z-system can be profitable in the short term, but like all betting systems, it has inherent risks. The presenter advises cautious bankroll management and recommends testing the system before using real money.

Poker Karts Mexico video. This time we're going to test the Z-system in roulette. The Z-system, if you're not familiar with it, is a betting system I discovered that's very effective for roulette.
effective for roulette. amount of money. With the Martingale system, you double your bet, lose once, bet the chips, lose again, bet
four chips and lose, bet eight chips—that's a lot of chips for one bet, which is why I don't recommend it. Also, with this system, you might win two chips in one spin, because with other systems you almost always recover one
chip each time you win. At the end of the video, a card will appear up here so that anyone unfamiliar with the system can click on it and see if it
works. Here we'll see if it works so you can click on it and see the process. Here I'm going to arrange the chips: first one chip, then another, then two. It's a Fibonacci pattern. Why? Because the next bet is three
chips in a series of...  Fibonacci would be three plus two equals five, but here we're not going to go back the numbers, three plus one equals four, so our next four, so our next bet will be four,
chips that we're going to use to try to win at roulette. That's why this is a very small amount, 17 chips. We're going to play with the minimum bet, and
well, let's see how it works. We're going to bet on these columns that pay 2 to 1, so I'm going to go over this a little more because what's this a little more because what's important to us is here. Now, I have a [unclear - possibly "on
my phone"] here, I think you can see that the number [unclear - possibly "it"] is generated. If I have a minimum number of zero, the maximum is 36, I press " generate" and it shows me a number: 436, 133,
etc. We're not going to compare [unclear - possibly "Oletta"] because it would take too long, and I want you to see that it works with completely random numbers. Well, friends, it does some things,
but let's begin. We start with the first bet and we put it, let's say, on this column. We spin, it came out 31, 30  31, what happened, we won,
came out 31, 30  31, what happened, we won, so here we won two chips, okay, we won, you take this, and here we're going to put the winnings you have so far. Again, since you won, you bet another chip in this
bet another chip in this column. We generated 32, it came out here. What happened? We column. We generated 32, it came out here. What happened? We lost. So again, you bet another chip. We roll and it came out 9. It came out here. What happened? We lost again.
And now we bet two chips. We chips. We roll and it came out 26. It landed here. We lost. I'm not using the button, right? We'll use it now. 13, here's
right? We'll use it now. 13, here's the 13. It landed in our column. We won 1, 2, 3. That's three chips, but since we paid out at one, we won six. We have here one, two, three, four chips that we've lost, so we need two more to make
six. And these are your winnings. And this is what your betting system has. Again, it would be like this: you bet another one
in this column. Maybe we're doing well, so let's bet again well, so let's bet again here. We rolled 31. Look, we won again. here. We rolled 31. Look, we won again. How much? Two chips.
And you place your bet again here. 20.  2020, what happened here? We lost. 20.  2020, what happened here? We lost. We bet again and roll 26. It landed
here again in this column, so we lost. We bet, we lost. You have to have to bet two chips. You draw, let's say 8. It's here bet two chips. You draw, let's say 8. It's here in this column. We lost one.
Three chips. We roll 24. It came out here. So what happened? We lost. Let's stretch it out in this part. 31. Wow, we
Let's stretch it out in this part. 31. Wow, we won 31. How many chips is that? 1, 2, 3, So we won eight. We have losses: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. So at
losses: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. So at this moment we have one chip in profit. And well, this is what we have won in this little while. this is what we have won in this little while. Okay, here are four chips. Then
I think it's 3, 2, 1, and 1. Okay, to continue well with our betting system here, how do we have to bet?
So it's going well here. We can change this column. We can change this one. Let's put it in the middle now to see what happens. If we're doing well here, I would recommend staying here. So we roll 18. It
came out here in this column.  We lost, we roll again, a date 23 21 22 23 is here, it pays 2 to 1, we're standing still, we have one chip lost so they
pay us two chips, this is the profit, how much have we this is the profit, how much have we won? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight minimum bets, let's continue playing, we roll, maybe, now
continue playing, we roll, maybe, now we change here, maybe 17, if we had changed it, it came out here, we lost, we bet another chip here but it came out 0, we lost
we bet two chips, we won four but we have two losses so they four but we have two losses so they give us two profit, the two profit chips come here, we continue with our
betting system and since we are doing well in this column, well, let's continue there, this column, well, let's continue there, 31, here is the 31, we won two chips, 31, here is the 31, we won two chips, two chips that come here
two chips that come here now, with this we can start to make another system of bets in case we lose this, we end up losing them all and we have bad luck, well, we can play again there, see, we are
at 4, the idea  It's to get double, we only need five more chips to get double, and well, that's because the system is too profitable. We only need five more too profitable. We only need five more chips. We bet again: 1,
three chips here. Maybe it's almost double now. It would be better to withdraw or risk doubling our bet. We bet again there: 25, 23, 24, 25. Believe me, the application is
called Mortal Space. The name is automatic. You can see that I 'm not controlling anything. We win two chips
and now we're going to roll again. We bet again there: 21-21. So far we've lost. We put another date and roll: 0. We lose again, two chips. 6 is on this side. We lost here. We'd be getting
goosebumps. Three chips. 17 here we lost. Four chips now. 4. Here's the 4. That's four chips. They would
4. Here's the 4. That's four chips. They would pay us this: 8. We have losses: 3, pay us this: 8. We have losses: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. So they 4, 5, 6, 7. So they give us only one more chip to  Complete
the payment, so let's count, friends. Let's see how we're doing. friends. Let's see how we're doing. These are the chips we started with: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,
we started with: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. This is our winnings. Let's see how many we've won: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
won: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. We've doubled our initial investment, so I see that as profitable. And as you saw, if we lose, the minimum bets are 375 pesos in Mexico. This is because the
are 375 pesos in Mexico. This is because the minimum bet is 25 pesos, so 375 pesos is good to go to the roulette table and try to invest it and win. We can try to invest it and win. We can double our entire pot. Start
the bet right now. What would you recommend doing? What would I recommend doing? I would recommend playing with our winnings and collecting this money, having this money in our purse. So we're just playing
with  The winnings, and even if we were to lose all of this—because, as I said, it's a betting system—here's the important part, where I'm going to avoid a lot of negative comments: it's a betting system, friends.
Betting systems know they have flaws and are n't guaranteed to win. I'm just saying that this system is more feasible than other systems, okay? So,
I recommend saving this money, cashing it out, keeping it in your wallet, and not taking it out again. Why take it out to keep playing with your winnings? If we double our money, or if we take out maybe half of it again, then we can withdraw and we'll have
more than half. And if we lose it—if we were to lose all of this—it doesn't matter because we'll still have the initial money. We lost this, yes, we lost it, but we spent a lot of time playing, which is
sometimes what makes it worthwhile. Because you can just come in and bet recklessly, like, bam bam bam bam, and it lands here, we didn't bet there, we lost a lot. In the next round, we bet the ten chips we have left, we
lose again, and two things happen: either we get sad because we're left with no money, and we get sad because we can't even... We played as long as we wanted, so well friends, I hope you liked it. Here's
the proof that the Z system is feasible and that it works. Don't take risks; try it at online casinos or at home. You'll see how it works, and if you like how it works, you'll almost certainly
apply it. So friends, any questions, anything you want to tell me, all liked it, please give it a like, share the video, and well, I'm sure your friends will thank you.
