Current bankroll $752.58
Bet 1
Line: 19.8-19.8-19.8-39.60
Bet amount $59.40, say that loses
Bankroll = $752.58-$59.40 = $693.18
Bet 2
Line 19.8-19.8-19.8-39.60-59.40
Bet amount $79.20, say that loses
Bankroll = $693.18-$79.20 = $613.98
Bet 3
Line 19.8-19.8-19.8-39.60-59.40-79.20
Bet amount $99, say that loses
Bankroll = $613.98-$99 = $514.98
Bet 4
Line 19.8-19.8-19.8-39.60-59.40-79.20-99
Bet amount $118.80' say that loses
Bankroll = $514.98-118.80 = $396.18
Bet 5
Line 19.8-19.8-19.8-39.60-59.40-79.20-99-118.80
Bet amount $138.60, say that loses
Bankroll = $396.18 - $138.60 = $257.58
Bet 6
Line 19.8-19.8-19.8-39.6-55.40-79.20-99-118.80-136.60
Bet amount $156.40 say that wins at @ 2.2
Bankroll = $91.18+344.08 = $435.26
Bet 7
Line 19.8-19.8-39.6-55.4-79.2-99-118.8
Bet amount $138.6, say that loses
Bankroll = $435.26-$138.60 = $296.66
Bet 8
Line 19.8-19.8-39.6-55.4-79.2-99-118.8-136.6
Bet amount $156.40, say that wins at 2.2
Bankroll = $140.26 + $344.08 = $484.34
Bet 9
Line 19.8-39.6-55.4-79.2-99-118.8
Bet amount $138.60, say that wins at 2.4
Bankroll = $345.74 + $332.64 = $678.38
Bet 10
Line 39.6-55.4-79.2-99
Bet amount $138.60, say that loses
Bankroll = $678.38 - $138.60 = $539.78
Bet 11
Line 39.6-55.4-79.2-99-138.6
Bet amount $178.2, say that wins at 2.35
Bankroll = $361.58 + $418.44 = $780.02
Finally up after 7 losses (5 in a row) and only 4 wins. I cleared this line, I would then recalculate and start all over. Hopefully this scenario never happens but this is sorta how it would play out. To protect myself even more I could divide my standard bet value in half again, so instead of 19.8 being my standard unit for this bankroll size I could use maybe 9.9, that would allow a bigger loss streak and still be able to survive. Hope this worked out example helps. For simplicity I did not include my commission charges.
