RRRRRRRR is one of those random patterns. He may as well be using ALL REDS for his random pattern, every time, and stop wasting time establishing a new random pattern, every time.
For 255 of those patterns, you win $1 for every (actual) bet made (regardless of whether it wins or loses) plus the amount placed on the winning bet.
For 1 of those patterns, you lose $502 (1+3+7+15+31+63+127+255 = $502)
At even odds, the break even point is 256 bets. (You aren't getting even odds here.)
Beyond that, the only question is whether that single loss comes before the 256th bet or doesn't come at all during this series of 256 bets.
If it comes before the 256th bet then you've lost more money than you've made in this series and your current bankroll will be less than when this series started. (If it happens in the 1st series, your current bankroll will be less than your original bankroll.)
If you win all 256 bets, it doesn't mean it's a winning system. It means you've won enough to cover 1 loss in the next series of 256 bets.
Eventually, the law of averages will catch up and you'll have more than 1 loss in a series.
Have fun while it lasts but this is nothing more than an aggressive martingale system with a unique method of placing bets!
