Oscar’s Grind is a betting strategy that originated in the gambling circles of the 1960s. The design aims to make a profit of exactly one unit per series of bets, regardless of the number of wins and losses. The strategy falls under the category of positive progression systems, adjusting the bet size based on previous outcomes. The fundamental rules of Oscar’s Grind are:
- Start with a single unit bet.
- After a win, increase the next bet by one unit, only if the profit for the series would not exceed one unit.
- After a loss, the next bet remains the same as the previous one.
- Reset to the initial bet size when a profit of one unit is achieved, starting a new series.
Application to Crash Games
In crash games, you bet on the outcome of a rapidly increasing multiplier that crashes at a random point. The goal is to cash out before the crash to win the bet. Oscar’s Grind can be adapted to this context by considering each bet on a round as a part of the series. Here’s how it works:
- Initial Bet: Start with a base bet amount.
- After a Win: If you win (2x cash out before the crash), you increase your next bet by the base amount, but only if this does not push the series profit beyond one base bet unit.
- After a Loss: If you lose (crash before cashing out), you keep the bet the same for the next round.
- Reset: Once a profit of one base bet unit is achieved, reset your bet to the initial base bet, starting a new series.
When applying Oscar’s Grind to a crash game with a target multiplier of 2x, you commit to cashing out at this multiplier for every bet. This approach simplifies decision-making during the game and allows for a clear strategy regarding bet size adjustments based on the outcomes.
Hypothetical Example
Let’s consider a base bet of $1. The table below demonstrates a series of bets using Oscar’s Grind strategy in a crash game. It accurately reflects the strategy’s goal of achieving exactly $1 of profit per session:
| Bet # | Bet Amount | Target Multiplier | Outcome | Profit/Loss | Cumulative Profit | Next Bet |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $1 | 2x | Loss | -$1 | -$1 | $1 |
| 2 | $1 | 2x | Loss | -$1 | -$2 | $1 |
| 3 | $1 | 2x | Win | +$1 | -$1 | $2 |
| 4 | $2 | 2x | Win | +$2 | +$1 (session end) | $1 (reset for new session) |
| 5 | $1 | 2x | Win | +$1 | +$1 (session end) | $1 (reset for new session) |
| 6 | $1 | 2x | Loss | -$1 | -$1 | $1 |
| 7 | $1 | 2x | Win | +$1 | $0 | $1 |
| 8 | $1 | 2x | Win | +$1 | +$1 (session end) | $1 (reset for new session) |
Considerations with a 2x Multiplier
- Simplifies Decisions: Targeting a 2x multiplier simplifies the decision-making process during play, making the strategy easier to follow.
- Profit and Loss Fluctuations: With a fixed 2x multiplier, winnings and losses are more pronounced, meaning that the strategy needs to be adept at handling these fluctuations to maintain the goal of securing exactly 1 unit of profit per session.
