An example of bet calculation using the Oscar's grind strategy
Pros and cons of the Oscar's grind strategy
The bet amount grows slowly.
You will lot spend a large amount on the strategy because the bet size increases only after winning bets. Two consecutive wins complete the strategy cycle. The only unlucky outcome is the alternation of losses and wins. In this case the bet amount will constantly increase and the strategy will continue.You need a high bet win percentage.
You will need two wins in a row for the Oscar's grind strategy to complete. In the long run you will need the bet win percentage to be higher than 50% for that.If the bet win percentage is below 50% the strategy may result in a loss, and losses are not compensated in any way. In the event of a substantial loss series, the bet size will not grow, so the wins may not recoup the spent money.

chasing
The chasing strategy helps recoup losses.
The bet size grows when you make losses, which means that, the more often a player loses, the higher the win bet size will be. However, it has a drawback – in the case of a prolonged series of losses a player risks losing all the bank.The chasing strategy works only with the odds below 2.00. The chasing bet amount is calculated according to a formula which takes into account the bets odds and the losses amount. The formula is needed for the win to guarantee compensation for the money spent during the strategy. However, the lower the odds, the faster the bet size grows.
