Your First Betting Card

Welcome to the Betting Assistant! Betting Cards are the core feature of the Elite tier. They provide structured, disciplined betting with real-time pattern-based suggestions. This guide will walk you through creating and using your first card.

What Is a Betting Card?

A betting card is a mini-session with specific goals:

• Target Profit: A clear dollar amount you're trying to win (e.g., $30)
• Max Bets: A hard limit on number of attempts (e.g., 20 bets)
• Betting System: A progression strategy (Flat, Martingale, Fibonacci, etc.)
• Betting Groups: What types of bets you're placing (red/black, dozens, columns, etc.)
• Adaptive Rule: How the decision engine analyzes patterns (follow trends, stay contrarian, or adaptive)

Think of a card as a structured game plan. You either hit your target (success!) or reach max bets (failure). No "just one more bet."

Key Terms: Betting groups are the categories of bets (Red, Black, Dozens, etc.). You place bets by clicking betting chips - the interactive buttons for each group. Each card tracks your bets and progress toward your target.

Why Use Betting Cards?

Enforces Discipline

Cards prevent the most common mistake: chasing losses. When the card ends, you stop. Period.

Tracks Strategy Adherence

The system tracks how often you follow statistical suggestions vs override them. This "discipline score" shows if you're sticking to the plan.

Provides Structured Goals

Instead of vague "win some money," you have a specific target. This makes it easier to stop when you're ahead.

Offers Real-Time Guidance

The decision engine analyzes recent spin patterns and suggests whether to BET, SKIP, or SIT_OUT each spin based on statistical analysis. You're not alone in decision-making.

Creating Your First Card (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Access the Betting Assistant

1. Navigate to /assistant
2. If this is your first time, click "Start Session"
3. You'll see the session setup screen

Step 2: Configure Session Settings

First, set up your overall session (you can run multiple cards in one session):

• Starting Bankroll: How much money you have to play with (e.g., $200)
• Number of Cards: How many betting cards to create (start with 3-5)
• Target per Card: How much profit each card should aim for (e.g., $30)
• Max Bets per Card: Maximum attempts per card (recommended: 15-25)

Example Setup:

• Bankroll: $200
• Number of Cards: 5
• Target per Card: $25
• Max Bets per Card: 20

Step 3: Choose a Betting System

The betting system controls how your bet size changes after wins and losses:

• Flat Betting: Same bet every time (safest, recommended for beginners)
• Martingale: Double after loss, reset on win (high risk, requires big bankroll)
• Fibonacci: Follow Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8...) on losses
• D'Alembert: Increase by 1 unit on loss, decrease on win (moderate risk)
• Reverse D'Alembert: Increase on win, decrease on loss (ride winning streaks)
• Custom: Define your own progression rules

For your first card, use Flat Betting. Set your base bet to 2-5% of your bankroll (e.g., $5 for a $200 bankroll).

Step 4: Select Your Betting Groups

Choose which betting groups you'll be betting on. You'll interact with these using betting chips (the clickable buttons for each bet type):

• Red/Black: 48.6% win rate, 1:1 payout (simplest for beginners)
• Even/Odd: Also 48.6% win rate, 1:1 payout
• Dozens (1st/2nd/3rd): 32.4% win rate, 2:1 payout
• Columns: Also 32.4% win rate, 2:1 payout
• Advanced Groups: Voisins, Tiers, Orphelins (wheel-based sectors)

Recommended for first card: Red/Black. It's the simplest to follow.

Step 5: Choose an Adaptive Rule

This determines how the decision engine analyzes patterns:

• FOLLOW: Analyze and suggest betting with the current trend (if lots of red recently, suggest red)
• STAY: Analyze and suggest betting against the trend (contrarian approach)
• ADAPTIVE: Decision engine analyzes 9-spin patterns and switches between follow/stay based on pattern strength

Recommended for first card: FOLLOW. It's intuitive and easy to understand.

Step 6: Start Your Card

Click "Start Session" or "Create Cards." Your first card will be Active, while others are Locked (they unlock as you complete cards).

Using Your Active Card

The Card Interface

Once your card is active, you'll see:

• Target: Your goal (e.g., $30 profit)
• Running Total: Your current profit/loss on this card
• Bets Used: How many of your max bets you've used
• Suggestion: Decision engine recommendation (BET, SKIP, or SIT_OUT)
• Confidence: Pattern strength indicator (0-100%)
• Reasons: Statistical factors behind the suggestion

Following Suggestions

Here's how to interpret the decision engine's suggestions:

BET (Green)

• Meaning: Conditions look favorable, place a bet
• Side: Bet on A or B (e.g., Red vs Black)
• Stake: How much to bet (based on your betting system)
• Action: Click the appropriate betting chip (e.g., the Red chip) to place your bet

SKIP (Yellow)

• Meaning: One concern detected (low confidence, volatility, or defensive)
• Action: Click "Skip Spin" - don't bet this round
• Why it matters: Protects bankroll during uncertain patterns

SIT_OUT (Red)

• Meaning: Multiple red flags (confidence too low, survival risk, etc.)
• Action: Definitely don't bet - wait for better conditions
• Why it matters: Prevents catastrophic losses during chaos

Recording Spin Results

After each spin:

1. Enter the result number (0-36)
2. The system calculates if you won or lost
3. Your running total updates
4. Your betting system adjusts the next stake
5. The decision engine analyzes the updated data and generates a new suggestion

Card Completion

Success: Reached Target

When your running total >= target:

• The card status changes to Completed
• A celebration modal appears
• Your discipline score is calculated
• The next locked card unlocks

Failure: Max Bets Reached

If you use all max bets without reaching target:

• The card status changes to Failed
• A failure modal shows what went wrong
• Your loss is recorded (usually less than target due to skips)
• The next card unlocks (don't give up!)

Discipline Metrics

After each card, you'll see discipline scores:

Suggestion Adherence

Percentage of times you followed the decision engine's BET suggestion:

• 90-100%: Excellent discipline
• 70-89%: Good, but room for improvement
• Below 70%: You're overriding too often - trust the statistical analysis

Skip Discipline

Percentage of times you followed SKIP/SIT_OUT suggestions:

• High skip discipline: Protects bankroll
• Low skip discipline: You're betting when you shouldn't - increases risk

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Ignoring Skip Suggestions

When the system says SKIP based on statistical analysis, it's for a reason. Betting anyway often leads to losses during volatile periods.

2. Overriding BET Suggestions

"I have a feeling about this one" is how discipline breaks down. Trust the statistical analysis, not your gut.

3. Chasing After a Failed Card

If card 1 fails, don't immediately raise stakes on card 2. Stick to your original system. Variance happens.

4. Setting Unrealistic Targets

A $10 target on 10 bets is realistic. A $100 target on 10 bets is not. Aim for 2-3x your base bet as a target.

5. Using Martingale Without Enough Bankroll

If you're using Martingale, make sure your bankroll can handle 7-8 consecutive losses (e.g., $5 → $10 → $20 → $40 → $80 → $160).

Example First Card Walkthrough

Settings:

• Target: $30
• Max Bets: 20
• Betting System: Flat ($5 per bet)
• Group: Red/Black
• Adaptive Rule: FOLLOW

Spin-by-Spin:

1. Spin 1: System suggests BET Red (pattern strength 45%). Result: Red. You win $5. Running total: +$5.
2. Spin 2: System suggests BET Red (pattern strength 52%). Result: Black. You lose $5. Running total: $0.
3. Spin 3: System suggests SKIP (pattern strength too low). You skip. Running total: $0.
4. Spin 4: System suggests BET Black (pattern strength 60%). Result: Black. You win $5. Running total: +$5.
5. ... continue until running total >= $30 or 20 bets used ...

Next Steps

After completing your first card:

• Review your Performance Analytics to see discipline scores
• Try different betting systems (Fibonacci, D'Alembert) to compare
• Experiment with different betting groups (dozens, columns) using their respective betting chips
• Read our guide on Understanding the Decision Engine to learn how statistical analysis generates suggestions
• Try Matrix Betting (advanced: place multiple betting chips simultaneously to bet on several groups at once)

Key Takeaways

• Betting cards enforce discipline with clear targets and max bets
• Start with Flat Betting on Red/Black with FOLLOW rule
• Trust statistical suggestions - high discipline scores correlate with better outcomes
• SKIP suggestions protect your bankroll during volatility
• Card completion (success or failure) unlocks the next card - don't chase losses
• Remember: The system analyzes patterns in past data; it cannot predict future outcomes
