Some betting progressions, as they are also known, double the size of the bet after each gaming round.
According to some systems, players need to increase their bets after a win, while other progressive systems recommend increasing the bet after a lost round. Progressive systems consist of fixed rules about adjusting the size of the bet based on a previous outcome. Still, certain progressive betting systems have been used for decades by gamblers in order to increase the potential winnings and limit the expected losses. This is hardly true when it comes to casino games, however, since games such as roulette or craps have a house edge that gives casinos the advantage over their patrons. There are various strategies and systems in gambling that are said to improve the odds of winning.
