The 1326 system is a variation on the Paroli Roulette System or Reverse Martingale. The system has been designed to accelerate winnings over a four number winning streak. Why four, I hear you ask? Well, someone somewhere has been looking at a lot of statistics and has decided that a 4 number run is a good combination of risk and reward.
Here´s how the sequence runs: you bet 1 unit, followed by 3, 2 and then 6 over four spins. Obvious really given the system´s name!
Let´s run through an example where you start off on a £2 wager. In this example we are going to be betting on red and black.
You would begin with a £2 bet. That´s your first unit. Your next 3 bets on a winning run would then be £6, £4 and £12. What you are basically doing with this profile, is banking some cash mid progression to lock in profits.
And what about if you lose a bet? Well, if at any point you aren´t so lucky, you´ll need to reset the progression and come back to the starting point (of one unit). In this case that would be a bet of £2, as this is our starting unit. The 1,3,2,6 system is a so called positive progression system, in that you progress along the sequence if you win in the hope of accelerating profits on a winning streak.
This is the opposite approach to negative progression systems such as the Martingale in which you progress along your sequence after you lose in the hope of clawing back any losses. 2 very different approaches.
The benefit of a positive progression system such as the 1326 is that you accelerate profits on a winning streak. BUT, if your luck runs out, you can wipe out all your profits in one go (actually this is where the 1326 tries to improve on the Paroli, in that you lock in profits along the way). And on the other side of the coin, the upside of a negative progression system is that you claw back all your losses on a run of bad luck. BUT, if your bad luck continues for too long, you hit the table limits and you are unable to "get out of the hole".
Looking at the 1326 on a bad run (it´s always good to run through both scenarios- work out your best case and worst case): if you lose the first bet, you are down £2 in the example above.
If you lose at level 2 you are down to the tune of £4 and at level 3, a loss nets you a profit of £4 (since you banked some profits). If you lose the last bet you are even stevens.
