The Whittacker Progression
| Author : AnonymousLike the Martingale System, the Whittacker Progression is, as you might have guessed from its name, a progression system. Using a pre-planned progression, you either increase or decrease your bets according to your wins or losses, going along the progression sequence.
You’re going to construct your sequence as follows: write a sequence of numbers (as in the Labouchere System). We’ll use a Fibonacci sequence: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13. Start off by betting one unit – $1. Bet $1 again. If you lose, you’ll bet $2. If you lose again, you’ll bet $5. If you win, at any point in the sequence, you’re going to cross off the last two numbers of your sequence – in this case, 13 and 8. Now, your next bet will be $5.
Like the Martingale, this system is one of negative progression. You’re going to increase bets when you lose, and decrease them when you win. In this manner, you will theoretically lock in your profits and recoup any losses with few spins. Something to remember: one losing spin can wipe your profits out in one fell swoop. Know when to call it quits.
As with any roulette system, while the Whittacker Progression can help you add methodology to your bets, it cannot, in any way, influence the odds in your favor. Chance is chance. The roulette wheel has no memory at all, and doesn’t care what happened on the last spin any more than it cares what will happen on the next spin.

Know what your loss limit it, and know what your profit goal is. Be ready to walk away from the table when you’ve reach either one, and remember: it’s a game. Play for entertainment, not for a living. Always keep your budget in mind, and keep it set in stone. You should be able to walk away from the tables with good memories, if not a profit.
Some may find that the enjoyment of the game of roulette is affected by sticking to a rigid progression system like Whittaker, but it is essential that you either follow these systems or not. Sometimes when chance is conspiring against you this might feel difficult. However if you have ever played a system like Whittaker with luck on your side it can feel like a license to print money.
