Palestis Single Dozen system is invented by HarryJ and Palestis, both very experienced roulette players. It is a very sensible strategy, that incorporates all the experience and know how of a player with thousands of hours on the live roulette tables and has been rigorously tested both by himself and – subsequently – by other members of our forum, with great results. The concept behind the system is the law of the third.

Characteristics

  • Betting on a single Dozen or Column
  • Waiting for a trigger
  • Relatively low bankroll
  • Easy to understand and apply
  • Thoroughly tested

In short, it is an easy, effective, low bankroll system on the very popular roulette bets of dozens and columns.

The fact that this system combines all the above features, makes it a worthy addition to our roulette systems hall of fame and give it even more exposure than the 40K views, that Palestis’ topic has received as of January 2018.

Trigger

Before you start betting, the following condition (trigger) should have occurred. In the last 3 spins only 2 dozens should have appeared. This means that we are looking for a sequence like:
XXY or XYX or YXX where X and Y are specific dozens.
Then we bet the Y dozen that has appeared one time in the last 3 spins.
Examples:

  1. After 22,17,35 we bet the 3rd dozen
  2. After 4,11,13 we bet the 2nd dozen
  3. After 25,3,31 we bet the 1st dozen
In this example, the exception rules were ignored.
You should always take into account the exception (no bet) rules.

Exceptions and Red Flags:

  1. If the same dozen – any dozen – appears repeatedly, 3 or more times, immediately preceding the trigger. (it’s a sign of anomaly that can affect the rest of the dozens).
  2. If the first 2 bets after the trigger result in XX (same dozen as the majority dozen in the trigger) you stop and only lose 2 bets. Easily recoverable in the next trigger.
  3. If there is more than one 0 in the numbers preceding the trigger (0’s tend to come in packs).

Palestis notes specifically:

I have seen some very rare 3 back to back losses during the long tests that I have done. However, going back on my notes to pinpoint possible reasons for that, I saw that almost always it involved a situation where there was an anomaly in the numbers preceding the trigger.

If one dozen has appeared consecutively, like 2,7,1,11, 10,32, though the obvious trigger is 11,10,32, I would let that trigger go without betting. Instead wait for a more normal sequence involving a normal mix of dozens. Also if I see a sequence like 2,7,1,11,10, 32,36, 8 I would definitely void the 32,36,8 trigger, because the target dozen (1st dozen), has already appeared 5 times just before the trigger was formed. Therefore chasing a dozen that has already appeared enough times can be risky. Let that go and wait till things return to normal.

Wagering Plan

Palesis main focus is the bet selection. Especially the fact that according to his tests, it is very rare to have 3 or 4 back to back lost attacks, that is 3×4=12 lost bets. If this is true, then indeed this is a great advantage (since common single dozen bet can lose more than 20 consecutive bets) and the betting plan doesn’t matter that much.

Anyway, his suggestion for a progression is something like this:

  • 1-1-1,5
  • 2-2-3
  • 4-4-6
  • 8-8-12
  • etc.

Whenever we lose an attack we move to the next level. When we win an attack we stay at the same level. When we are in profit, we end the attack and start over. Alternatively, Terminator suggest that: “However many units we are away from a tie with our previous high, we divide by 2 and start at the level that begins with that amount”.

Two other betting schemes, that were proposed by Bayes and tested by Terminator, showed great results. They are based on the famous Holloway progression:

1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,16,18,20,22,25,28,30,32,35,40,45,50,55,60,70,80,90,100,110,120,135,150

Divided in clusters of 3 bets we get:

  • 1,1,1
  • 1,1,2
  • 2,2,2
  • 3,3,3
  • 4,4,5
  • 5,6,7
  • 8,9,10
  • 11,12,14
  • 16,18,20
  • 22,25,28
  • 30,32,35
  • 40,45,50
  • etc.

In one version of this betting plan, We go up when we lose and stay on the same level after a win.
In the other version, we continue to move up the progression regardless of a prior win or loss.

Jek proposed this progression based on a divider

The idea is that after the first 3 bets the following are determined based on the current balance. With a negative balance between 4 to 9 units the balance is divided by 2. With a negative balance between 10 to 21 units the balance is divided by 3. With a negative balance between 22 to 100 units the balance is divided by 4. With a negative balance over 100 units the balance is divided by 5. If the result of the division is not a whole number, then this number is always rounded up. The resulting progression goes something like this:
1 1 2 2 3 5 5 7 7 9 11 14 17 21 21 25 30 36 43 50

This is my own proposal for a dozen progression:

1 1 1 1 1
2 2 2 2 2
3 3 3 3
4 4 4
5 5 5
6 6 6
7 7 7
8 8 8
9 9 9
10 10 10
Reset on a new high, go back 2 steps on a win.

Further rules to make it even safer:
If you reached level 5 or above you end the progression not on a new high, but when you minimize your loss equal to the max step you reached. For example if you reached the 6 6 6 step, you end the progression with 6 units loss. You add the losses to the next attack, which starts at level 2.

Naturally, in all progressions, when we are in profit, we end the attack and start over.

The quest continues

Keep in mind that this very simple yet effective roulette strategy, works both for dozens and columns and you can use it on both simultaneously if you so prefer. 

Body

I am a roulette player. Neither an “editor” nor a “mathematician”. The difference is that I put my money where my mouth is. Most roulette sites are written by editors who have never placed a bet. They recycle knowledge and recite Wikipedia. And they are paid to write. I have paid dearly for every single word I write. I have invested money, time, aspirations and grey matter in roulette.

In my 20 years as a roulette player, I have played everywhere, I have tried innumerable of roulette strategies, studied, created or dismissed countless ideas and done all the mistakes you could possibly do. I learned and I’m here to tell you about it. I can’t fight luck and i can’t control randomness. But I do know what works and what doesn’t, what mistakes you should avoid and what you need to win.

Roulette 30
In June 2010, disappointed by misinformation, outrageous claims, cheating roulette games and “sure win” system and device sellers, I created “Roulette 30”. I wanted to share knowledge, inspire other roulette players to make the next step in their game. It is as a very personal project. Everything, from the articles and the design to the last line of code is handcrafted with love by myself! I started it out of love for the game and since then Roulette 30 became a passion into itself.

At Roulette 30 we strive to create the deepest, interesting and inspirational site about the game of roulette. In this site I've shared as much as I can. Freely. Learn the basics of roulette, study the math and the physics of the wheel and then think creatively and discover new answers to old, classic roulette questions.

Roulette 30 Forum
This is the best place for serious roulette discussion. With a knowledgeable and friendly roulette community. I have already written almost 2K posts in the forum. Everyone is welcome to ask or comment on anything about roulette.

Kavouras Bet
After many years of people asking me about my personal roulette strategy, with reluctance and great care I decided to share all the details of the Kavouras Bet system. In that site you will learn everything you need to know about it.

These are the articles I have written I’m most proud of:

  • Kavouras Bet strategy
  • Roulette Wheel secrets
  • The Romanosky bets strategy
  • Bets and payouts of roulette
  • Analysis of Labouchere progression
  • Debunking the myth that the house edge is a game-stopper

Beyond roulette

I’m a restless soul, a novelty seeker, a different viewer.
I’m a Sagittarius with a touch of Pisces and Scorpio.
I was born in 1970.
I have studied Physics in the university of Athens, but never worked as a physicist.
I worked 15 years as a copywriter and creative director in advertising companies
I love Alfa Romeos, Italo Disco, ASIA, Nietzsche and dark haired women, though I have better luck with light haired ones.
I’m a loner and sentimental. I love philosophizing and reading. I’m smart, but I’m lazy, dilatory and a perfectionist, so I rarely accomplish anything.
That’s my story.
I would love to hear your story or thoughts at 30@roulette30.com.
