How the Fibonacci Betting Ladder Works
40sClear, step-by-step explanation of a popular betting system appeals to strategy enthusiasts and gamblers.
▶ Play Clip"Title claims winning $500, which happened in the session shown, but the simulation shows much lower success rates for consistent profits — somewhat misleading."
This video tests a roulette betting system called the Fibonacci Waltz, a tweak of the Fibonacci dozens strategy that uses a Fibonacci progression ladder. The host runs live simulations with a $270 bankroll, betting on the first dozen, and aims to win $200 per trial. The system's performance is evaluated on single-zero, double-zero, and triple-zero wheels with varying success rates.
The Fibonacci Waltz is a roulette system submitted by Patreon user Drewbert. It uses the Fibonacci sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,13...) for bet progression on dozens or columns.
After a loss, increase bet to the next Fibonacci number. After a win, move back two steps in the sequence instead of resetting to the beginning.
Starting bankroll is $270, unit bet is $5, played on a double-zero wheel. The bet is consistently on the first dozen.
Double-zero wheel has a 5.26% house edge. For larger unit bets, a single-zero wheel is recommended.
First trial ends with a win of $250 (from $270 to $520) after reaching the $200 profit target.
Second trial starts fresh with $270. After a series of wins and losses, it also reaches the $200 target, ending up $250 up.
After two successful trials, the total session profit is $500 (from $540 starting to $1040).
Simulation shows success rates for increasing bankroll by 37%: 63.1% (single-zero), 60% (double-zero), 57.8% (triple-zero). For doubling: 37.3%, 35.1%, 31.2% respectively.
Rated 3.5/5 overall. Simplicity: 5/5 for betting, 3.5/5 for progression. Jackpot potential: 2/5 due to prolonged high bets on losing streaks.
The system does not reset to the start after a win; stepping down only two levels leads to larger bets persisting longer, increasing risk.
The Fibonacci Waltz can win in the short term but has a significant flaw: not resetting fully after wins leads to prolonged high bets and higher risk. The host rates it 3.5/5, noting that the simpler Fibonacci dozens system is better.
What is the Fibonacci sequence used in this roulette system?
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55... where each number is the sum of the previous two.
00:27
How does the progression change after a win in the Fibonacci Waltz?
Move back two steps in the Fibonacci sequence instead of resetting to the start.
00:54
What starting bankroll and unit bet are used in the demonstration?
Bankroll of $270 and unit bet of $5.
01:08
What is the house edge on a double-zero roulette wheel?
5.26%.
01:33
What is the profit target per trial in the simulation?
Win $200 (target of $470 from $270 bankroll).
03:53
What is the success rate for doubling the bankroll on a single-zero wheel?
37.3%.
12:53
What is the main flaw of the Fibonacci Waltz system according to the host?
It doesn't reset to the first step after a win, causing bets to stay high longer and increasing risk.

Unique Progression Rule
Instead of resetting after a win, stepping back only two levels is a distinct twist that affects risk and reward.
00:54Simulation Success Rates
Provides concrete statistical data on the system's performance across different wheel types, showing diminishing returns as profit target increases.
12:11System Rating Breakdown
Gives a structured evaluation of the system's simplicity, progression, chip uniformity, jackpot potential, scalability, and comps.
13:43Critical Flaw Identified
Highlights that not fully resetting after wins leads to prolonged high bets, making the system riskier than alternatives like Fibonacci dozens.
14:49[00:01] unlocking the power of Fibonacci in roulette let's check out Fibonacci Walts together today on Jack a what up donkeys Jack here with jackass.com and I have another patreon submitted roulette system this one was
[00:14] submitted by patreon user drewbert this system is called Fibonacci dozen Walts but we're just going to call it Fibonacci Waltz this system is a tweak of the golden entry system also known as Fibonacci dozens but with Fibonacci
[00:27] Walts you implement a ladder progression if you're not familiar with the Fibonacci sequence it's a sequence that goes 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 Etc
[00:39] basically each new number is the sum of the two numbers before it so 1 + 1 is 2 the two numbers before it so 1 + 1 is 2 1 + 2 is 3 2 + 3 is 5 3 + 5 is 8 Etc your bets according to the Fibonacci sequence when you lose but when you win
[00:54] you don't reset the initial bet you just move back down the ladder two rungs so if you bet one one 2 3 5 and then eight and then hit then you only step down to the $3 bet you don't reset to $1 we are
[01:08] starting out with a $ 7.78 million starting balance and we are going to be starting with $5 as our starting unit bet and we are playing on a double zero wheel so let's go ahead and get started when it comes to alternate bets for the
[01:21] system we are currently betting on the first dozen every spin but you can move them around any way you want you can also bet on columns if you want 25 we lose five if you're going to start with a $100 starting unit you should probably
[01:33] look for a single zero wheel to play on right now we're playing on a double zero wheel so our house Edge is 5.26% 31 black we lose five again and now we increase to $10 you can bet on any column you can bet on any dozen you
[01:48] can follow the last winning dozen or follow the last winning column 34 we lose 10 and we increased to $15 if you can find a casino with the single zero wheel that'll let you play for $100 to spin then obviously play that
[02:03] instead zero that's another whack minus 15 now we bet 25 question of the day are you playing any pure online games I've been playing a lot of Plinko I've been a lot of video poker what games have you been playing 18 that's another loss
[02:20] we're going to increase our bet to $40 if you're interested in Plinko I just wrote a blog post about Plinko check it out on my site Jack a.com
[02:34] currently up 20 now we're going to drop back down to $15 we're going to go down two levels to
[02:50] currently up $50 and we're going to drop down another two levels to level two which is $5 and I'm going to be giving away another blackjack basic strategy card today if you want to be eligible to win the blackjack basic strategy card
[03:03] put all praise Korean Jesus in the comments below that's a $10 win eight and we're going to drop down again to the first level which is still $5 I'll comments and I'll be sending you a card in the
[03:18] in the mail 28 that's a loss we lose five and we increase well actually we stay at the $5 bet but we go to level two no more $5 bet but we go to level two no more bets
[03:39] 36 another $5 loss and now we increase to $10 which is level three no more
[03:53] 15 when do you walk drewbert says you should walk when you're up 130 but we're going to be waiting until we win 200 100 or or more another loss minus 15 and we
[04:05] increase our bet to 25 no more
[04:18] even but we're going to increase our bet to 40 no more bets
[04:31] another loss minus 40 and we increase to 65 starting balance of 270 so that means we can withstand eight losses before going
[04:48] 130 and now we drop down our bet two levels to
[05:05] 21 that's another whack and we're going to increase to whack and we're going to increase to $40 no more
[05:32] bets 25 that's a whack we lose $665 and we're going to go to our highest tier
[05:48] are currently up 170 and we're going to drop down to $40 we're not quite at our winning threshold I want to quit when we're up 200 no more we're up 200 no more bets so we're going to spin one more
[06:02] bets so we're going to spin one more time so that's a winner we win 80 we are up 250 and that is it for trial number one we are going to reset again with another $270 bank roll and we're going to try to win 200 again also
[06:17] check out my Jack a merch store shop. Jack a.com there we have a ton of gambling merch both roulette and craps and blackjack video game merch crypto merch Rubik's Cube merch and of course Jack a branded merch as well we're going
[06:32] first dozen no more
[06:45] back we win $10 it's a good start for this number $10 it's a good start for this number two trial no more
[06:59] currently up $20 for this trial no more
[07:12] we're up 30 for this trial I think that's five hits in a row no more
[07:27] bets another hit win $10 we're up 40 no more bet
[07:39] betting $5 but we are on actually level two now no more
[07:54] on level three no more bets
[08:07] 10 that's a hit we win 20 we are currently up 50 for this trial 20 we are currently up 50 for this trial and we're going to reset to level one
[08:21] $5 11 that's a hit we win 10 and continue betting five no more bets
[08:35] 34 whack we're going to go to level two which is still $5 no more whack we're currently up $50 for this friend for this
[08:49] friend for this trial no more and we increase to $15 no more
[09:11] 30 we're going to drop down two levels down to the second level and I'm going basic strategy card today if you want to be eligible to win the blackjack basic strategy card put all praise Korean Jesus in the comments
[09:26] below we're going to increase our bet to 10 increase to 15 now no more
[09:47] 15 to 25 now no more
[10:00] we're going to drop two levels and we're going to bet 10 on the next going to bet 10 on the next spin no more
[10:14] increase to 15 no more six we win 30 we are currently up 110 for this trial we're going to drop two
[10:28] levels so the $5 level level two actually no more
[10:45] we're going to increase to 10 that's another 16 we lose 10 and we're going to increase to 15 no more bets 29 black increase to 15 no more bets 29 black that's another whack we lose 15 here
[11:00] no more BET 14 that's another whack we lose 25 no more bet that's a 21 we lose
[11:17] 40 and now we go to 65 more bet that's another whack minus 65 we are down 50 and we're going to bet 105 this is our top tier so we better hit no more bets we win 210 we are currently up 160 our goal is
[11:33] to hit 200 so we're going to keep spinning no more bets 19 we lose 40 and we're going to bet
[11:45] 40 and we're going to bet 65 no more bets so that's a four black we win 130 and we are currently up 250 so this trial is successful out of two trials we were successful twice we won 250 both times we are currently up 500
[11:59] for the entire session so that is how Fibonacci Waltz performed in the live Jack Ace simulator what up donkeys Jack a here and we are testing Fibonacci Waltz in
[12:11] the Jack Ace simulator we're going to be trying to run our starting balance of trying to run our starting balance of 270 up to 370 470 and 540 that's an 270 up to 370 470 and 540 that's an increase of 37% 74% and 100% doubling
[12:24] our money increasing our bankroll by 100 bucks we were successful 63. 1% of the time on single 0er 60% of the time on Double Z and 57.8% of the time on Triple 0 increasing our bankroll by 200 we were successful 44.8% of the time on single
[12:40] successful 44.8% of the time on single 0er 41.9% on d0 and 39.9% on Triple 0er when we tried to double our money we were successful double our money we were successful 37.3% of the time on single 0er 35.1%
[12:53] 37.3% of the time on single 0er 35.1% on0 and 31.2% on Triple 0 so even going on0 and 31.2% on Triple 0 so even going from 100 to winning 270 there's a huge drop off for all three wheels from about 60 63% to 37 31% it's uh about half it's
[13:12] map we can see that we had a couple hot numbers 34 36 were pretty good we can see we were actually pretty lucky with the first dozen we hit 17 times but the First Column was really hot we hit that 20 times this is all out of 47 spins and
[13:29] this is what the roulette wheel heat map looks like we can see that 4 and 11 hit that didn't hit at all but most of the numbers were in the 1 to two hit range which is what we would expect so that's how Fibonacci Walts performed in the
[13:43] jack a simulator here is my rating for the system for betting Simplicity I give it five out of five stars there's just a single bet and it can't get any simpler than that progression Simplicity I give it 3.5 out of five stars the Fibonacci
[13:56] complicated and the latter system little bit complicated too for chip uniformity I give it five out of five stars you might have to bet a small stack of chips for the larger bets but
[14:10] it shouldn't happen so often that it's a big problem jackpot potential I give it two out of five stars I think the biggest issue with this system is that once you get on a losing streak you're going to be floating around those higher
[14:22] bets for a long time your bets will tend to just get larger and larger until you lose everything or you hit your winning threshold for scalability I give it five out of five stars it's easy to scale in both directions both up and down comp
[14:35] you're really not going to be getting much Inc comps with this system the pit starting out with a $5 bet and they probably won't give you a very good rating so overall I probably give this 3.5 stars out of five it's really hard
[14:49] to improve on what's already a great system Fibonacci dozens I think Fibonacci dozens is one of the best systems out there the biggest flaw with this system is that it doesn't reset near nearly quickly enough I can see
[15:01] for a system where you bet on two dozens instead so even though we succeeded two out of two times I really can't give this system anything better than 3.5 out of five stars when you win your bet
[15:14] you're always going to be ahead of when you started that should be enough to reset to the first step there's no need to just go down two steps and because you don't reset all the way you're going to end up in those higher bets a lot
[15:28] longer than you should be your success or failure is really going to hinge on how you do on those larger bets so what do you guys think was Fibonacci Waltz Dancing with the Stars or did have two left feet if you enjoy this content
