Apologies for chiming in late on this one, been caught up in a marathon session and just saw this thread. I’ve been grinding the Labouchère system myself, mostly on roulette and occasionally dipping into sports bets when I’m feeling bold. Gotta say, it’s a beast to manage, and I’m sorry if I’m preaching to the choir here, but tweaking the sequence is where I keep tripping up. I usually start with a modest sequence, like 1-2-3-2-1, aiming for small, steady gains, but when a loss hits, I get antsy and start overcomplicating it, splitting numbers or adding bigger ones to recover faster. It’s burned me a few times when I didn’t have enough in my betting wallet to cover the next stake after a bad run.
One thing I’ve learned (the hard way) is to stick to a payment method that lets me cap my deposits upfront, so I don’t overspend when I’m chasing the sequence. I use a prepaid card for this—keeps me from dipping into funds I shouldn’t. I’m curious how you handle the bankroll side of things with Labouchère, especially on sports where odds can mess with your vibe. Also, sorry if this is a dumb question, but do you adjust your sequence based on the sport or event, or just keep it consistent? I’ve been trying to figure out if tweaking for higher-odds bets is worth the hassle. Would love to hear your approach or if anyone else has cracked this nut.
