In other words, the premise of this system is to place flat bets most of the time after which recuperate the lost ones if you get a profitable streak. It works like this — whenever you win a bet, you scale back the wager by 1, and when you lose, you improve it by 1. By doing this, you’ll hardly ever get the chance to stake a big sum, successfully sticking with smaller bets. In essence, everytime you lose your wager, you double the stake. And whenever you win, you revert to the beginning point and go another time.
