The Systems | The Fibonacci

(This Chapter will describe to you how the major classical systems are intended to work)

Leonardo Pisan, better known as Fibonacci, was born in Pisa in 1170 A.D. His interest in mathematics and exposure to other cultures allowed him to excel in solving a wide variety of mathematical problems. Fibonacci is best known for discovering the Fibonacci sequence, a sequence of numbers that readily exists in nature. Technically not a mathematical per se, the sequence is often used in a losing or negative progression. The Fibonacci series is as follows : 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,....The idea here is that the next number in the series is simply the sum of the previous two numbers. The starting number is 1. The second number calculated from 0 + 1 (no number in front of the first 1) and is 1 again. The next number is 1 + 1 or 2, then 1 + 2 for 3, then 2 + 3 = 5 and 5 + 3 = 8, etc.

If the first bet is won, then the sequence is over and the player has won. No numbers need to be written down. If the first bet is lost, then a line is started and 1 is written down. The next number in the sequence represents the following wager size. If this bet is lost, then it is added to the end of the line. As each bet is lost, it is added to the end of the series. If a bet is won, the last number in the series is simply crossed out. The bottom line is, the Fibonacci sequence doesn't fare to badly. This system can be fun to exploit and not too damaging if you limit your bets.
