Wah a session look like?

Tek a $10 base an eight spin: L L W L L L W W. Di stake dem run 10, 10, 20 (win, back two, to step 1), 10, 10, 20, 30 (win, back two, to step 2), 10 (win, back to di start). Lose: 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 20 = 60. Win: 20 + 30 + 10 = 60. Five loss, tree win, an yuh level. Dat a wah mek di system sweet.

Wah mek yuh step back two, an not one?

Cause one win pay fi exactly two loss. Evry numba a di two bifo it add up, suh a win at 5 unit bring back di 2 an di 3 weh yuh lose jus bifo. Tink bout a staircase: one step up fi evry loss, two step dung fi evry win. Di step yuh stan pon a yuh debt. At step 5 yuh 7 unit dung, at step 8 yuh 33 dung, an back pon di fus step yuh exactly even. Profit only come fram win pon di fus step, one unit at a time.

Wid nearly as much win as loss, two step fi one soun like a bargain, an most a di time di staircase do lead back dung. Di catch a seh di step dem get taller as yuh climb. Ten win pon di fus step earn 10 unit. Tree loss at step 6, 7 an 8 cost 8 + 13 + 21 = 42.

It safer dan Martingale?

It slower, an dat a nuh di same ting. Fibonacci stake grow by bout 1.6× evry step instead a 2×, suh yuh reach a $500 limit afta bout ten loss back to back fram a $10 base, instead a six. Dat mek di cliff more rare: ten even-money loss inna a row a (19/37)¹⁰ ≈ 0.13%, gainst (19/37)⁶ ≈ 1.8% fi six. But di cliff higher too, cause yuh stake more pon di way deh, an one single win cyaan undo it.

Weh di numba dem come fram?

Fram a puzzle bout rabbit. Leonardo of Pisa, weh people did nickname Fibonacci lata, put it inna im Liber Abaci inna 1202: start wid one pair, mek evry pair produce a new pair evry month fram im second month on, an count di pair dem. Di ansa run 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13. Im wasn’t di fus one fi find di rule. Indian scholar weh study verse rhythm did write it dung bifo: Singh (1985) trace it back to Virahanka, between 600 an 800, an den to Gopala an Hemachandra.

None a dem neva have no wheel inna dem mind. Di source dem wi use yah nuh seh who fus stake money by di sequence. Wah dem do show a seh im arithmetic an di arithmetic a roulette neva meet: one seh ow di stake dem grow, di odda one seh wah evry stake bring back.

Ow much yuh lose afta a run a loss?

Two identity mek di table up top easy fi check. Afta n loss inna a row di total yuh lose a di (n + 2)th Fibonacci numba minus 1, weh gi yuh 1, 2, 4, 7, 12, 20 an suh on, an di nex stake a di (n + 1)th Fibonacci numba. Bollman (2021) prove di same result by induction fi a sequence weh start 1, 2, 3, weh shift evry numba one place. At a 500-unit limit fram a 1-unit start, Martingale cyaan put dung im 10th bet, 512 unit. Fibonacci can put dung im 14th, 377 unit, but not im 15th, 610.

Question dem

A “reverse Fibonacci” deh?

Yes: forward afta a win, back afta a loss. It behave like a slower Parolistrategy demParoliPositive progression: double afta a win, start ova afta a loss or afta tree win straight. Nex name: reverse Martingale.Read di whole ting →.

Fun wid maths

Try dem yuhself fus. Evry ansa fold up; open it wen yuh ready.

  1. Play di version weh move one step along di sequence afta evry spin, win or lose, an stop afta two win inna a row: stake 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 an suh on. Di fus fourteen result a W L W L L L W L L L W L L W. Weh yuh stand, an wah di nex bet?

    Write F₁, F₂, F₃ … fi 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 … Each numba a di sum a di two bifo it.

    Di loss dem: F₁ + F₂ + … + Fₙ. Add 1 to dat sum, write as F₂, an it fold up: F₂ + F₁ = F₃, den F₃ + F₂ = F₄, an suh on, till di whole sum a Fₙ₊₂. Suh di loss dem total Fₙ₊₂ − 1.

    Di win dem a di nex two stake, Fₙ₊₁ an Fₙ₊₂. Profit: Fₙ₊₁ + Fₙ₊₂ − (Fₙ₊₂ − 1) = Fₙ₊₁ + 1. Wid four loss, dat a F₅ + 1 = 6 unit.
