The Cancellation System aka the Labouchère System
This system is simple. You write down a series of random number, say 2 5 8 3 4 6. Each number represents the number of betting units. Now you will bet the sum of the first and last numbers, in this case 2 + 6 = 8. If you win, you cross off those two numbers and for the next bet you use the two numbers left on either end of the series, so 5 + 4 = 9. If you lose, however, then you add the amount that you bet to the end of the series, e.g. if you bet 9 and lost then your series would now be 5 8 3 4 9. If you have a winning streak and cross of all the numbers in your series, this is called a coup and you would then start again with a new series of numbers or even the same series if you wish. If you work it out, after completing a coup you would have come out with a profit.
Each system has its merits and demerits. What is important to take into consideration is what works for you as a player. At the end of the day, you want to have fun while playing at your favourite Roulette table. If one particular sys
tem doesn’t work for you, try another… and another, if you have to, until you find the best system for you. And don’t forget the most essential factor of any successful gaming – having Lady Luck by your side!
