The Insurance Regression System is a betting approach used in casino games. It aims to protect winnings by reducing bets after each win. This system works well in games like roulette, blackjack, and baccarat.
How it works
- Start with a base bet, i.e. $5.
- If you win, decrease your next bet by a small amount, i.e. $5 – $0.25 = $4.75.
- If you lose, your next bet depends on your chosen loss strategy.
| Loss Strategy | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Flat Betting | Maintains consistent risk level. | Doesn’t attempt to recover losses quickly. |
| Incremental Increase | Gives a chance to recover losses faster. | Can lead to larger losses if losing streak continues. |
| Incremental Decrease | Reduces risk after losses, preserving bankroll. | Makes it harder to recover previous losses. |
| Reset to Base Bet | Provides a fresh start after each loss. | Doesn’t adapt to potential game patterns. |
The best tactic depends on your risk tolerance and game conditions. Let’s compare using a simple scenario:
- Starting bankroll: $100
- Base bet: $5
- Decrease after win: $0.25
- Loss adjustment: $0.50
- 10 game series
| Loss Strategy | Final Bankroll (5 wins, 5 losses, alternating) | Final Bankroll (10 losses) |
|---|---|---|
| Flat Betting | $101.25 100 + (5-4.75+4.75-4.5+4.5-4.25+4.25-4+4-3.75) = 101.25 | $50.00 100 – 5 * 10 = 50 |
| Incremental Increase | $101.25 100 + (5-4.75+5.25-5+5.5-5.25+5.75-5.5+6-5.75) = 101.25 | $27.50 100 – (5 + 5.5 + 6 + 6.5 + 7 + 7.5 + 8 + 8.5 + 9 + 9.5) = 27.5 |
| Incremental Decrease | $101.25 100 + (5-4.75+4.25-4+3.5-3.25+2.75-2.5+2-1.75) = 101.25 | $72.50 100 – (5+4.5+4+3.5+3+2.5+2+1.5+1+0.5) = 72.5 |
| Reset to Base | $101.25 100 + (5-4.75+5-4.75+5-4.75+5-4.75+5-4.75) = 101.25 | $50.00 100 – 5 * 10 = 50 |
Based on this analysis, Incremental Decrease offers the best protection against extended losing streaks. It preserves your bankroll while still giving a chance to recover losses.
However, in Crash games, consider the game’s volatility. If you’re targeting lower multipliers, Flat Betting or Reset to Base might be safer. For higher multipliers, Incremental Increase could help recover losses faster.
Ultimately, the best tactic varies based on your goals and the specific game. Monitor your results and adjust as needed.
Adapting to Crash games
In Crash, you can use this system with a target multiplier. Start with your base bet and desired cash-out point. Decrease your bet after wins, just like in other games.

Comparison with other systems
| Betting System | 👍 Pros | 👎 Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Martingale System | 👍 Can lead to quick recovery of losses. | 👎 Requires a large bankroll and can hit table limits fast. |
| Fibonacci System | 👍 More gradual progression than Martingale. | 👎 Can still lead to large bets after a losing streak. |
| D’Alembert System | 👍 Slower progression, potentially lower risk. | 👎 Might not cover losses as quickly as more aggressive systems. |
Pros
- Protects winnings by reducing exposure after successful bets.
- Can lead to steady, small profits over time.
- Less risky than systems that increase bets after losses.
Cons
- May miss out on potential big wins during lucky streaks.
- Might result in very small bets if winning streak continues.
Conclusion
Consider your risk tolerance and bankroll when choosing a betting system. Insurance Regression might suit cautious players who want to protect their winnings. It’s less thrilling than some systems but potentially more sustainable.
Experiment with different loss strategies to find what works best for you. Some players prefer flat betting after losses, while others might increase bets slightly.
In Crash games, be mindful of the game’s volatility. Set a reasonable target multiplier to balance risk and reward. Adjust your strategy based on the game’s patterns and your observations.
