2 Up 2 Down is not among the most popular roulette betting strategies, but it has been making strides recently across roulette forums. It’s a progressive strategy that increases and decreases the wager size based on a pre-determined system and the outcome of the spin.
As a roulette betting strategy, 2 Up 2 Down aims to increase your odds of winning. It’s beginner-friendly because it’s easy to understand and it doesn’t require a very large bankroll, so in this guide, we’ll tell you all about it, how it works, and its advantages and disadvantages.
Accepts CA players
Like the majority of progression strategies, the 2 Up 2 Down system is designed for outside bets only. Although it’s not a written rule, it’s suggested to use a roulette variant with more favorable odds like the European roulette, and stick with even-money bets like Red/Black, Odds/Evens, and High/Lows. You should set the base bet according to your bankroll, and we suggest using a small base bet - like CAD 1, for example.
This is how the strategy works:
Check out the diagram below to see how the 2 Up 2 Down roulette system works in practice.
It’s up to you to determine the base bet, so if you think that the strategy is too slow with a base bet of CAD 1, you can set it at CAD 10, or even CAD 100. However, the larger the base bet is, the larger your bankroll needs to be. If you start low, the risk is minimal, but the progression will move slowly too, and you would need a lot of spins to make some significant progress.
To test how this strategy performs in a real-life scenario, we put it to the test using a simulation. We set the bet size at CAD 1 because most players would stick to a low bet size, and we gave each player a starting bankroll of CAD 1,000 each. We used 4 players for our test, and we used an RNG (Random Number Generator) for the results of each spin. Check out how the players performed.
Our results proved what we initially thought - that this is a relatively safe, but slow strategy. If we compare the graphs of all players, we will notice that the bankrolls of all the players were staying close to the starting CAD 1,000, with player 3 being the only one experiencing a major negative swing by spin 500.
This strategy has two major problems: the short-term ineffectiveness and the slow pace. Our simulation showed that the strategy doesn’t work in the short run. None of our 4 players had made some significant progress, and it was only after the 360th spin that some of them were in net positive. The winnings were really small, and in real life, it would take you a long time to complete that many spins, only to win a few bucks.
The second problem is the slow pace. If you set the base bet low, the pace will be so slow that you won’t see any major changes for hundreds, if not thousands of spins. And if you do, they’ll probably be negative. Our simulation showed that the strategy doesn’t work well in the long run either. The player who did best was Player 4, who only lost CAD 9. None of them finished the session in profit.
The strategy has strict rules that don’t say what happens if you get stuck in a long losing session, so you are on your own if that happens.
2 Up 2 Down is a very simple roulette strategy and doesn’t require a large bankroll. If you choose a low base bet, it’s not very risky either. However, there are some limitations. It’s not very effective in the short term, and our simulation showed that it’s not a good fit for the long-term too. If you plan to use it, it’s best for medium-length sessions. Set a profit goal, and once you reach it, walk away.
