Montant et démontant

The system Montant et démontant is a form of the martingale game in roulette or Trente et quarante .

Basic principle

The player begins his attack on the casino with a bet of one unit (piece). If the player wins this coup, this game series is ended and he begins a new game series; d. H. as long as the player wins, he only ever bets one unit.

But as soon as the player loses for the first time, he bets two units in the following coup . Since the stake is increased after the first loss, this is a form of martingale game.

If the player also loses this coup, he bets three units in the following coup . As long as the player is in a loss within a game series, the stake (regardless of the result of the last coup, only the balance within the series is decisive) is increased by one unit - with the following special feature: The player tries to achieve a balance of To reach +1; d. H. if a balance of +2 or more would be achieved, the stake is not increased any further, but may even be reduced, see the following

example

1st coup, bet 1 piece, lost, balance –1.

2nd coup, bet 2 pieces, lost, balance –3.

3rd coup, bet 3 pieces, lost, balance –6.

4th coup, bet 4 pieces, won, balance –2.

Since the player is only aiming for a balance of +1, he does not bet five in the fifth coup, but only three:

5th coup, bet 3 pieces, won, balance +1.

The series is now successfully concluded and the player begins a new series with a bet of one unit. If the player were to lose the 5th coup, however, he would have to increase his stake by one unit as usual in the following coup, i.e. H. he would have to put four pieces.

comment

Of course, this system is not “infallible” either: one can use methods of the martingale theory to prove that no system of any kind can guarantee long-term profits in roulette. That is, if a player plays according to a system and wins, it is not due to the quality of the system, but solely to chance.
