A progressive betting system that increases stakes after losses to recover them with the next win.
Long losing streaks can wipe out a bankroll completely. This system is extremely risky and should only be used with money you can afford to lose entirely.
📌 Mostly used in casino games and sometimes adapted for sports betting.
The Henze System is a lesser-known staking/betting method. It's a progressive betting system that increases stakes after losses to recover them with the next win (similar to Martingale, but with variations).
| Bet # | Stake | Result | Total Loss | Next Stake |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $10 | Loss | -$10 | $20 |
| 2 | $20 | Loss | -$30 | $40 |
| 3 | $40 | Loss | -$70 | $80 |
| 4 | $80 | Win | +$10 | Reset to $10 |
Note: This example assumes even-money bets (1:1 payout). The progression and required stakes can vary significantly based on the odds and specific variation of the Henze System being used.
Bankroll Management
To safely use any progressive system, you need a bankroll that can handle at least 10-15 consecutive losses. For a $10 base unit, this means having $10,000+ available.
