64 Roulette Strategy
The 64% roulette system bets two dozens, then triples both bets after a miss. Its 24/37 coverage does not protect against escalating losses.
Completing a cycle wins one unit after earlier losses, but four missed levels cost 80 units and the required fifth level costs 162 units in total.

Progression table
Each row is a level before its outcome. The two same-sized dozen bets make the total stake twice the shown individual bet.
Worked example
Bet 1 on the first and second dozens. A 30 misses both bets, losing 2, and makes the next bets 3 and 3. If 18 then lands, the second dozen returns 9 including stake against 6 units placed: net +3 for that spin. Across the two-spin sequence, −2 + 3 = +1, then reset. The same recovery property is bought with rapid stake growth.
Cost and risk
Four consecutive misses cost 2 + 6 + 18 + 54 = 80 units. Six misses cost 728 units, and the seventh wager would require 729 on each dozen, 1,458 total.

Questions
One dozen wins at 2:1 while the other loses, so the net at individual stake x is +x; tripling after losses is calibrated to leave +1 across the sequence.
It is the chance either chosen dozen wins on one European spin. It says nothing about the cost of the unselected outcomes or a longer session.
