Some small-budget progressions for even-money bets: Must make a parlay: 1-1-1-2-2-3-4-5-7 9 chances to make a parlay, risking only 26 units. (Win / Loss, Win / Loss, Win / Loss = Lose / Lose / Lose ) Must only win the same bet twice (no parlay): 1-1-2-3-4-6-9 7 chances to win the same bet twice, risking only 26 units. (Win / Loss, Win / Loss, Win / Loss = Even / Even / Even )
