Cycle table

A cycle ends at its first loss or after four wins.

Worked example

Three dozen wins generate +10, +30, and +90. If the fourth 35-unit bet loses, its −35 leaves +95 for the four resolved wagers. If it wins, it contributes +70, making the completed sequence +200.

Expectation and risk

The chance of four particular successive dozen wins is (12/37)^4 = 1.106415%. Most cycles end earlier, including many that lose five units.

The 45-unit third stake is nine times the opener, and the unusual reduction to 35 on the fourth step does not remove that higher exposure. The stated stakes describe a finite four-step cycle, not a prediction of future spins.
