Reverse Labouchere Calculator Strategie, Examples and Formulas
In Reverse Labouchère Calculator , as opposed to regular one, you do everything in reverse:
- In case of a loss, you cross the rightmost and leftmost numbers out of the sequence.
- In case of a win, you add them to the row.
The idea of regular Labouchère is to define the amount you want to win,
while in Reverse Labouchère you define the amount you can afford to lose.
Here is an example. Suppose, you can afford to lose $100.
Reverse Labouchere Calculator Table
| Row | Event | Bet | Bank |
| 20 20 20 20 20 | Loss | 20+20 | 100-40=60 |
| 20 20 20 | Loss | 20+20 | 60-40=20 |
| 20 | Win | 20 | 20+20=40 |
| 20 20 | Win | 20+20 | 40+40=80 |
| 20 20 40 | Win | 20+40 | 80+60=140 |
The game continues until you either lose the amount you initially defined or reach the bet amount that you consider as maximum. In our example, it is $60.
To define the win/loss ratio allowing to get positive ROI, you may use the following formula:
(NumberOfWins + QuantityOfNumbersInARow) ≤ NumberOfLosses * 2
As you can see from the formula, a bettor will lose the game only if he loses more than 33.34% of the bets.
The strategy allows for bigger winnings, but the risks rise accordingly.
