The 1-3-2-6 system is a positive progression betting strategy designed for even-money bets. Unlike the Martingale — which chases losses by escalating bets downward — the 1-3-2-6 only increases stakes after wins. The result is a system where your maximum loss per cycle is capped at two units, while a complete four-win sequence returns ten units of profit. It does not change the house edge, but it gives your session a defined structure with limited downside and a clear profit target.
