So you used the most famous and dangerous betting system of all time? This has been discussed before, do a search.

Let's say the odds on the wheel you are playing are 1:37 for any straight bet. Let's also say that you will only need to double your bet an average of 19 times before you win.

$20 doubled 19 times = $10,485,760. Yes, 10 MILLION dollars. Then, even if you win, the payout will probably only be 36:1 so you won't even break even in the long run. Not to mention, you're pretty likely to go more than 19 bets between wins. Have fun at the casinos.
