2 Up 2 Down Roulette Strategy

The rule does not say whether an isolated opposite result clears the current counter, whether “down” means a one-unit decrease, or how a later pair of wins acts from an elevated level. No standard completion can be inferred without adding rules.

Declared example convention

To illustrate only the stated triggers, this table clears a consecutive-result counter whenever the opposite outcome occurs and changes stake only at the two stated triggers.

Worked example

Begin with one unit. Two losses make the next wager two units. If a win then follows, the pair is loss/win, so the declared convention retains two units and clears the run counter. A second consecutive win from that point makes the next bet one unit. The completed wagers might therefore be 1, 1, 2, 2; their arithmetic depends on whether each outcome won or lost, not on the name of the progressionstrategyProgressionAny rule that changes the stake based on previous results. Negative progressions raise it after losses, positive after wins.Read full →.
