2 up, 2 down System
2 up, 2 down system system is a quite simple roulette strategy, based on progression rule. It is a safer version of quite popular D’Alemebert strategy.
How to bet
Player bets all the time one of the following bets (for e.g. red color)
| 1-18 | Even | Red | Black | Odd | 19-36 |
In 2 up, 2 down strategy player needs to increase bet by one base unit in case of two losses in row and decrease bet by one base unit in case of two wins in row, until base bet value is reached.
Example
Player:
- bets $1 Base unit on red
- losses, bets $1 Previous bet on red
- losses, bets $2 Previous bet + base unit ($1 + $1 ) on red
- losses, bets $2 Previous bet on red
- wins $4, bets $2 Previous bet on red
- wins $4, bets $1 Previous bet – base unit ($2 – $1 ) on red
- wins $2, bets $1 Previous bet on red
- wins $2, player has achieved $1 of profit so he starts from the beginning – bets $1 on red
In this case player has invested 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = $11, and won $12.
2 up, 2 down strategy requires a lot of patience and consequence – sometimes a very long series are needed to achieve satisfying results, especially that it requires series of double winnings. It is recommended for beginning players – it can be a good practice for D’Alembert system.
