AI Summary

This video demonstrates a low-bankroll roulette strategy using a $45 bankroll, focusing on covering 30 of 38 numbers to achieve slow, steady profits. The strategy involves betting on the first dozen and the 19-36 range, with a progression system to recover from losses. The creator emphasizes patience and using the strategy as a gentle introduction to casino roulette.

[00:00]
Introduction and Bankroll Setup

The video starts with a $45 bankroll and a goal of making a profit, ideally around $20. The strategy is presented as a slow and steady approach to roulette.

[00:50]
Betting Structure

The strategy involves placing $1 on the first 12 numbers and $2 on numbers 19-36. This covers 30 out of 38 numbers, giving a high coverage and a near 50% chance of winning an extra unit on each spin.

[02:37]
Progression System

The core of the strategy is a doubling-up progression on losses. The creator explains that they go through second, third, and fourth levels of betting, doubling the stakes each time to recover losses and achieve a session profit.

[04:03]
Strategy Suitability

The strategy is described as easy to remember and ideal for beginners or those new to the casino. It's a low-stress way to get a feel for the table before engaging in more aggressive play.

[07:14]
Handling Losses and Recovery

The video shows a sequence of losses (13, 17, 17) that push the progression to the fourth level. The creator explains that even with back-to-back losses, the high coverage (30 numbers) eventually brings wins, allowing recovery.

[10:44]
Recovery and Coming Down Levels

After a win at a higher level, the creator demonstrates coming down a level to reduce risk. The goal is to return to the base bet as soon as possible while still recovering the session profit.

[15:58]
Green Numbers and Stress Management

The video acknowledges the risk of green numbers (0 and 00) and back-to-back losses. The creator suggests that with a low bankroll, the stress level remains low, making it a good way to learn the table.

[18:44]
Final Outcome and Conclusion

After 18 minutes of play, the session ends with a $7 profit, not the $20 initially mentioned. The creator emphasizes that the strategy is about slow, steady gains and getting comfortable with the table, not about big wins.

The video presents a low-risk, high-coverage roulette strategy that prioritizes patience and steady gains over quick wins. It's a practical guide for beginners to get comfortable with the game, though the actual profit may be modest.

[00:00] number 20 what a winner beautiful morning all you wonderful roulette players welcome back to the channel okay got a fun one for you today 45 45 dollars in bankroll come on when was the last

[00:19] time you heard that 20 in profit that's close to 50 percent dozen high low quick swig Okay, $45, come on, can we do it?

[00:37] You'll be surprised. Slow and steady finishes the race. So we're going to finish the race and we're going to make some money with a $45 ankle.

[00:50] You've got high coverage here, guys. $1 goes in the first 12 and then $2 goes in the 19 to 36. So this, if it happens, will be a push.

[01:05] But the big one, where we get almost 50% chance every single time is going to be where we win an extra unit. We don't want these two or these.

[01:19] These two streaks or the greens. We're still watching out for eight numbers. But we've got a $45 bankroll, guys. Watch how this works. I think you'll be surprised.

[01:31] Nice, low bankroll, high profit considering the bankroll. But I think you'll be surprised. We're not playing follow the leader at this point. We're just...

[01:43] Number four. Nice. We lose these two. And we come over here and pay that off. Great job.

[01:56] Let's go back to it. That first dozen is just a push. Not a big deal, right? We don't mind. Well, 50% of the time we're going to get this one. Or roughly 50%.

[02:09] Because of the greens, right? It's not going to be 50%. Slow and steady. Slow and steady. 23. Beautiful. We lose this one. but we pick up a unit.

[02:24] We are in session profit already. Nice. And I know it doesn't seem like a lot, right? You're exactly right. But it adds up. And I'll go through second, third, and fourth level.

[02:37] Essentially, what we're doing is doubling up every single time. But you've got high coverage here. You're not always going to get these eight numbers.

[02:49] Okay? Wait for it. You'll be surprised. Number nine, it's going to be a push. No big deal, right?

[03:01] So we're going to go back. 23 and number nine. Let's alternate the wheel. Quick swing. And let's go again. Again.

[03:13] Again. You've got good coverage. So all you really need is patience at this point.

[03:25] Number three, you know it's going to be a push. No worries. Just keep it going. Man, that first dozen has been pretty active.

[03:39] Look at that. The last three out of four numbers. Unbelievable. And as it says, number 20.

[03:51] Okay, there we go. Nice. It's going to be a dollar winner, right? We haven't had no bad numbers yet, but they're coming.

[04:03] You know, the 13th and 16th streets, and of course the greens. It's a great strategy if you're just coming into the casino and you don't really know what to do yet. It's an easy one to remember. and it gets you in the groove, you know?

[04:18] It's $45, guys. We'll spend that on lunch. You know that. So it's a great way to be introduced to the casino

[04:31] or the roulette that you're playing. So it's just a great way to step in. Again, it's going to be $1. This one's a loser, so we're going to pick up $1. there it is

[04:45] okay let get some losses here 26 because they coming and they coming back to back You know that right But that why we got the back up to the back up to the back up

[05:03] And you could, if you wanted to, you could, number nine, it's going to be a push, right? Push. number nine, you could add some more levels to it.

[05:18] But honestly, with practicing this, I haven't had to. My friend John was the one that put me onto this. He made me think this way. And thank you, John.

[05:30] Really appreciate it. Down in California, down in San Francisco. 28. Love it. When you've got 19 to 36, you've got almost half the board, guys.

[05:42] So you're going to have your fair share of winnings. Again, we pick up a dollar. We're at $4. I know you're right. It's not a lot of money. But it's a slow and steady stride.

[05:57] Quick twig. Yeah, we're going to go all over Iowa. All over Iowa this week. Number 12.

[06:09] Push. We're going to lose these two. but we're going to win 2-1. So, push. I was thinking about grabbing another unit because I got so used to paying it.

[06:24] So, nice. And the footy has been pretty good, hasn't it? It has a lot of the games that I've been watching.

[06:38] Boy, it's one of, I mean, Japan. What a great game that was. 24. It's going to be another dollar winner. Look at that. Guys, we're up five bucks.

[06:50] Come on, that's not bad at all. We've already made our 10%. So, I'm thrilled. Slow and steady.

[07:02] And again, there's not much to it. At least this way you can always remember it. Finally, we get a loss. we lose. We just lost $3. Gone.

[07:14] Next level, one, two, and then $4 down here. Let's go. And again, we don't come down until we hit session profit.

[07:27] Let's get another one here. Or green. This is when the greens show up or we get back-to-back losses. It's just the way it works. Another one. look at that.

[07:44] I told you. It's just the way it goes, guys. All right, so again, we lose. So how does this recover? Great question.

[07:58] Now we're going to $4 here and $8 over here. Come on, give us one more to make me really question everything. It can happen.

[08:11] Or green. The green is where we really, you know, give me a double zero just to kind of set me off. 13 and 17, back to back.

[08:23] Can we get one more? Yes. 17 back to back. It's like the worst, right? It's like the worst.

[08:35] All right. Now, now what do we do, right? All right, so now we're going to $8, $8, and $16 over here.

[08:48] All right, come on. Wow, that's crazy. No, it's not crazy because that's just the way it goes. So back to back, look at that, $13, $17, $17, all right here.

[09:01] Now, give me the double zero. you won't because you just won't. I know you won't. 26. There you go.

[09:13] All right. So there you go. That's what can happen. All right. In this case, it's a high number, so we're going to get paid here. Here's $8, but we need to get paid $16. Okay, so that's another $8.

[09:27] There it is. We say put. We pick up $8, put it back into our tray. And we'd go again. Nice Eventually you get your numbers coming back to you When you covering the majority of the board we covering 30 numbers guys

[09:47] 30 numbers out of 38. So you're going to get your fair share. We got really, really unlucky. Number nine. Sorry, guys. Let me erase number 22.

[10:01] Add 26. What's going on, boys? what I do. Okay, let me get rid of 17.

[10:15] Get rid of 17. And add 26. And add 9. Sorry about that.

[10:27] Okay, so it's going to be a push, right? It's going to be a push. 2 to 1. 2 to 1. Let's keep going. We're going to try and get a couple of big numbers together so we can win a couple more times and get our money back.

[10:44] And that's exactly what we're going to do. 23. Beautiful. It's another $8 winner, right? Because that one comes over here. We pick up another $8.

[10:58] 6, 7, 8. Now, what you can do, we can come down a level. Okay? We can come down a level, which is exactly what I would do.

[11:10] All right. So now I'm going to come down to $4 over here. Okay? And over here, we're going to come down to $8. Because, again, we don't need to be betting more than we need.

[11:29] I'm going to make that last level. Look right. There's my last level there. There it is. Okay, beautiful. 23. Thank you.

[11:41] Let's go again. Yeah, we really got pushed to the maximum on that one, didn't we? All the way to the fourth level. But it happens. You know, you got 45 bucks. And as I said, sometimes you can just get so unlucky.

[11:55] Boy, look at that. I got rid of the 17s, and I don't know why I did that. because remember guys we had we had 17 and then we had another 17

[12:07] remember we had two 17s remember and we had but after the 13 we had two 17s and then the 26 so just kind of consider that

[12:20] I could go back and eliminate all of it and then I'd have to remember everything So with that one, 25. Nice. It's another, no, it's going to be a $4 winner, okay, because we came down, right? We're still $1 in the hole, and you know what I'm doing? I'm coming down another level.

[12:43] Four. And if we win this one, I'm coming down again. 25.

[12:55] Beautiful. Nice. Alternate the wheel. Beautiful. Come on.

[13:07] One more winner. And then we're going to come all the way back down to base. $25 back to back. Love it. Thank you. All right.

[13:19] Boom. We're going to pick up $2. One and two. Beautiful. I may have overpaid myself just a little bit, but on the last one, I'll have to find that out.

[13:36] So now we come down to base, which is a $3 base minimum, and $25 back to back. Love it. Let's go again. Because we're still on track.

[13:56] There it is. So that's level two. 31. Yes. Love it. Thank you. Nice. It's going to be a $1 winner.

[14:08] Beautiful. And that goes, obviously, in the profit tray. Very nice. Let's go again.

[14:20] That one should be six, which it is. This one should be 12. Which it is So I think I overpaid myself one extra dollar guys so I going to give that back that what I think

[14:38] 27 nice and if I'm wrong no big deal right 27 beautiful now I get that dollar back because as you know pays that one off

[14:51] slow and steady we went into that really bad run of numbers 13, 17, 17, back to back, three back to backs, and we were able to recover.

[15:04] $45 back roll. It's a nice, slow, slow way of coming in and getting used to the table, okay? I don't know how I ended up with 325s.

[15:17] You know one of those is wrong. So I made a bit of a blunder on that, but 13, loser. there it is next level 1, 2

[15:30] 1, 2, 3, 4 let's go again we need to recapture and this time we're going to win $2 if we're fortunate

[15:42] let's see quick squig there it is there it is, the dreaded double zero or any green in this case scenario.

[15:58] So, back-to-back losses. Now, somebody did mention that it's a good idea to get out of the next, when you lose, get out of the next spin. Good idea.

[16:11] $4 now and $8, 19 to 36. Now, if we win, we're going to win $4. Double zeros.

[16:23] But again, you're not playing with a lot of money. The stress level should be nice and low. And you're just trying to get a feel for the table. I think that's a great way to play.

[16:37] Is to get a feel for the table before you dive in and do what you really came here to do. Number 11. It's a push, right? Pays two to one.

[16:49] Eight bucks. Good. Let's go. We're looking for those high numbers. See if we can capture a big number. Because we need to win twice now.

[17:04] Yep. 29. Exactly what we're looking for. 29. We lose this ball, but it comes over here. And we pick up four bucks.

[17:16] Nice. Put it back in the bankroll. Again. when you lose it seems like you do lose multiple times right away and that idea of coming

[17:29] out one spin after a loss damn good idea right now because it would have paid us to do that it would have paid us to do it 27 beautiful another

[17:41] $4 winner I'm coming all the way down the base now last time I could have probably come down one level and I should have done, actually,

[17:53] if I was thinking about it. There's that level. Beautiful. All right. Let's go. 27.

[18:05] Love it. Alternate the wheel. We are at 18 minutes. So we're pushing the envelope a little bit here, but that's all right. 3, 4, 5. I'm off one dollar actually guys

[18:20] oh that's because of that yep 29 that's because of the loss right there that's what I was missing okay 29 I love you man that has been a great number for us 29

[18:32] beautiful and with that one it's going to be a winner we're going to pick up another dollar and we are going to come down and that's it 18 minutes

[18:44] profit seven bucks. Not the $20 that I promised you, but you get the point. It's a great strategy,

[18:56] low bankroll, for coming in, sitting down, having a cup of tea, and getting comfortable with the table. That's how I would use this. Okay? But can you make

[19:08] 10, 20 bucks? You're dang right you can. For a minimal investment. so go for it guys have a great week wishing all of you guys a lot of love

[19:21] catch you later bye
