The Labouchere System is a progressive betting strategy where the player sets up a sequence of numbers and places bets according to that sequence. Here is how it works on even-money inside bets like red/black or odd/even:
The player chooses a sequence of numbers, for example 1-2-3. The player then places outside bets equal to the first two numbers, so a 3 chip bet in this case. If the player wins, the two numbers are crossed off. If the player loses, the last number of the sequence is added to the end, so it becomes 1-2-3-3. The player then bets the amount of the first two numbers in the new sequence, 5 chips in this example. The player continues in this way, crossing numbers off after wins and adding the last number after losses, keeping the running total of the active numbers as the amount of the next bet.
