In my first attempt applying the "system" found in the book, it wasn't long before I was at the house limit and down plenty. 19 spins in a row and no 2nd dozen. I do agree that the odds of this happening would be considered long, but I rode it thru the 13th spin, took my beating, and waited to see how long it took until a 2nd dozen came. 19 spins=Broke.

If you can play for 6 or more hours, if you have a bankroll the size of Montana, and if you don't get wiped out at the beginning this system may win. Don't think you can lose? Check out page 34 St. Germain double zero tester (-19 steps). The author claims this book is not the old systems found in other books. This system is the oldest one in the book- the "due" system with a Martingale attached. Why would anyone risk thousands to win $10 ($5 level). You are then forced to play at increasing levels. He also claims he was tired of getting ripped off by other books.I now feel the same way.

Look @ every number around the wheel from 0 to 0 and, instead of writing the numbers down, write down which dozen they belong in. You get a sequence that looks like this --> 1232123212321 13313-00-1. Notice any thing? There are 2 pockets on the wheel that do not contain the second dozen! Outside of,what i call, trap numbers (pockets of # /w out 2nds) there are 3 3rds,3 1sts & 6 2nds(looking @ half the wheel). Abviously, one of the wheels designs is to throw off the balence in the dozens (causing the prob. you are having w/ going to the 14+ bets. To solve this, make 2nds your dominate dozen. Look @ the last 10 numbers and search for 4 2nds. If there are only 1-3(out of 10), bet the 2nd dozen until there are 4. When there are 4 2nds, search the 1sts for 4. If there are 1-3, bet 1sts until you win & until there are 3 1sts. Check the 2nds for 4 2nds. If there are still 4 2nds, check the 3rd for 4 3rds. Always Check Back With 2nds. Then go to 1sts & then 3rds. I don't have to hope this will help you make better selections...i know that it will!

I read the book on the Saturday and tried the system out the same day. Yes it does work but here are some of the things not mentioned in the book :-
1) When scouting, make sure the dealer (or wheel) does not have the tendency to spin 0's. As you all know zeros kill all outside bets;
2) When zeros do turn up, I believe it doesn't matter what dozens you play the spin after (only my opinion);
3) This only applies when you're up a bit (min 30 units up) - it is too risky to progress up to 16 bets deep. Just cut your losses (winnings really) at the seven bet mark (26 units) and start again from square one (only my opinion);
4) The system is a grind - don't be misleaded by this statement, it does work but you have to be patient and spend the time at your new 'work'.

That's my two cents worth of advice. Anyone to comment on this?

Good luck on your adventures.

The system makes sense and has won me money but it eventually put me in the hole. The progressive betting gets out of control and requires minimim of $2,000.00 and luck to follow through and win. So far I went to the casino and used this system three times and it did make money each time, however the progressive betting eventually caused me to loose it all before I left.
