Congratulations! You took a break-even game and found a progression system that breaks even. Well done.
Now let's see what happens when we use that progression system on an even-money bet of roulette.
Code:

[B]TOTALS 0 100.00% -0.22[/B]
So you've taken a game with a house edge of 5.26% and managed to lose 0.22/4 = 5.44% of your money. Not only are you going to lose money, you are going to lose
more money.
