+2 -2 +2 +2 = +4 now you're at a +1 for the group (-3 +4 = +1), go back to level 1 immediately. Now, say you're at a -3 for the first level, and you move up to level 2, as soon as you are at a +2 in level two, you end that series and return to level one.

If, however, you lose 5 and win only 2 (for a -3) or lose 6 and win only 1 (for a -5) or lose all 7 (for a -7), you move up to level 2. In other words, obviously any 'plus' after the 7 bets and you remain if you were to lose the series at 4 losses to 3 wins, so a -1, stay at the same level. Starting at the 1-unit level (or, as I call it '1-villle'.'ville' because that's where you want to 'live', in 1-ville, for we don't like to live in 3-, 4- or 5-ville) you remain there unless you lose by more than a -1. (Sidenote: I currently do not utilize this progression, but that's should not be viewed as anything against this MM method, as much as it is a reflection of just how far my Baccarat game/trending has come I no longer feel the need for any 'drawn out' negative progression for MY play.) Seven seems 'just right' to ascertain exactly 'who's getting the best (or worst) of it', before one needs to make a bet-sizing 'adjustments'.

That's what the professional sports leagues use, the 7-game series. Can't use my progression with 3, 5, or even 9 for the 7 works best. It's both mild enough to allow for your 'variance' to correct itself, yet raises your unit sizes just enough for efficient recouping. And, that's exactly what I had in mind when I designed it: efficiency. If I may say so stright upfront, even at the risk of apparent conceit, I consider my 'Gr8Player's Progression' to be the absolute best and most efficient negative progression that I've ever seen. I'm interested in any comments regarding how effective a bet method like this is.

I have used similar type progressions in some of my posts, but not exactily like this. The following is a post by a contributor to the baccarat forum named GR8Player.
