Strategies

Strategies define which bets to place, how much to bet, and when to adjust based on game outcomes.

What is a Strategy?

A strategy defines:

• Which bets to place (e.g., Red, Black, Odd/Even, specific numbers)
• How much to bet (using a progression system)
• When to adjust (after wins, losses, or specific patterns)

Your strategies list shows all available strategies including built-in and custom ones:
