Labouchere (blackjack)
A betting progression, also known as the cancellation system.
A bettor chooses a series of two or more numbers which add up
to the profit he intends to make. He then bets the total of
the two outside numbers in the series and cancels those numbers
if he wins. He continues betting the two outside un-cancelled
numbers until he has completed the series. If he loses a bet,
he adds the amount of his loss to his series as a single number.
He must therefore cancel out two
numbers for each number added. This system is a good way to
lose good money fast.
