My main profession these days is as a filmmaker\nand while I remain fully committed to beating scams, collecting cons and\nprotecting the public, I am always working on funding that next movie,\ndocumentary or series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One story that I would love to tell has been\nfilmed before but in my opinion remains an untapped source for a brilliantly\nfunny, suspenseful adventure featuring a gang of English middle-class misfits\nbreaking the bank of an iconic European casino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what they did, how they did it, and why\nit hasn\u2019t happened since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Norman Leigh – The Mastermind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In my version of this story, Norman Leigh would\nbe straight out of an Ealing comedy casting book – a mixture of Alistair Sims,\nSir John Mills and Bill Nighy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An English gentleman with a plan to beat casinos\non the continent with a seemingly ingenious twist on an old betting strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To realize this plan, Norman placed an ad in the\nnewspaper that attracted the interest of a dozen characters who could each be\nfound in a usual suspects line-up of 1960s English society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This included an undercover policeman who believed\nthe scheme might be some kind of con or a fraud against the gambling\nestablishment but soon discovered that Norman\u2019s idea was perfectly legal and\nseemingly, a sure-fire way to beat the casinos at their own game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was so convinced that he took a leave of\nabsence and joined Norman\u2019s team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game was roulette<\/a>, and the system was the \u201cReverse Labouchere.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Pronounced \u201cLa-Boo-Share\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, let\u2019s start with the Labouchere system<\/a> that is relatively simple to understand but do bear with me as it can seem more complicated than it actually is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type of system is designed for (almost)\n50\/50 type bets like red\/black on the roulette table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"roulette<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The player starts with a series of numbers which\ncan be as short as three digits, but longer strings can be used with some\ngamblers insisting certain combinations offer better odds (I would advise you\nto ignore this because – ultimately – the flaws in such systems remain the\nsame).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let\u2019s say you write down a string of digits\nas follows: 1-2-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sum of these digits is 6, and that\u2019s the\namount you should expect to win if this plays out in your favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To play, you must always bet the sum of the\nfirst and last digits <\/strong>in your string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case it is 1 + 3, which means the first\nbet is $4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rules are that if you LOSE that bet you add\nthe amount of the bet to the end of your string of digits, which would become\n1-2-3-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would continue for each loss, the next bet\nbeing $5 (1 + 4 – the sum of first and last digit) adding the number 5 to the\nend of your string should you lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if you win?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you win, you delete the first and last\nnumbers and then add the first and last remaining numbers<\/em> of your string\nof digits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s say you win the third bet, which was a $6\nbet since 1 and 5 were the first and last digits after losing the second bet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You now delete the first and last digits (the 1\nand the 5) leaving you with 2-3-4 as your remaining string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so it continues until your string of numbers\nis erased by enough wins (if you get down to just one digit remaining of your\nstring – that\u2019s the amount you bet). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, if you erase all your digits, your\nprofit will equal the sum of the digits in your initial string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I told you it would seem complicated but play\nwith this for a few imaginary bets (maybe toss a coin and bet heads and tails\nwith this system) and you\u2019ll see that it\u2019s really quite simple.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So long as you don\u2019t hit a long series of\nlosses, you can absolutely make your target amount (the sum of your initial\nstring of numbers) providing you have deep enough pockets to increase your bets\nwhenever you lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this sense, it\u2019s really just a version of the Martingale<\/a> and can be both fun to play and deceptively effective over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, just like the Martingale, it\u2019s primarily a\nbetting strategy; not a playing system that offers any kind of advantage\nagainst the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing The Reverse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Norman Leigh\u2019s preferred version was called the\n\u2018Reverse Labouchere\u2019 because it increased bets when the player won and\ndecreased bets when they lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with the Labouchere, the Reverse requires\nplayers to write down or mentally track a string of numbers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the Labouchere, bets are decided by adding\nthe first and last digits of the string but here you will add your winning\nbets<\/em> to the end and delete the first and last digits when you lose<\/em><\/strong>\n– the exact opposite of the method dictated by the Labouchere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you lose the first two bets, the string is\ndeleted and you either begin again with a fresh string (in our example, 1-2-3)\nor leave the table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you win, however, you add the winning bet to\nthe end (1-2-3-4) and then bet again by adding the first and last digits ($5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue until you reach a pre-determined profit,\nat which point you either retire from the table or start a fresh string (1-2-3)\nand pocket your winnings from that round of play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In effect, it is a money management system\nsimilar to that of gambling legend Nick The Greek whose book \u201cGambling Secrets\nof Nick The Greek\u201d amounted to \u201cbet more when you\u2019re winning and less when\nyou\u2019re losing\u201d! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 13 players who descended upon Nice, France,\nand Monte Carlo, Monaco, were also able to increase the amount being risked,\nsince Norman\u2019s bankroll was distributed between the\nplayers who were essentially hiding in plain sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And did it work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did Norman and his 12 cohorts defeat the\ncasinos?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You bet they did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norman and his dapper dozen broke the bank at\nMonte Carlo and Norman was quickly blacklisted, despite the casino having no\nidea what he was doing to beat their games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If they had known – and had they been smart –\nthey should have given Norman and his crew free rooms for a fortnight and\nwatched them blow back every penny that they\u2019d previously won thanks to pure\nluck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the rub: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reverse Labouchere doesn\u2019t change the odds,\nit only limits your losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you keep playing, those losses will add\nup and while the same system increases returns during a winning streak the only\nway to benefit from that is to stop playing, which they did – only thanks to\nthe casinos shutting them all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What About That Movie?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Other than a dry TV Mini-series, the adventures of Norman Leigh are best presented in his book \u201cThirteen Against The Bank<\/a>\u201d and I\u2019d rather you read that than spoil all the details for you here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would make a fantastic comedy adventure for\nanyone who owns the rights and can raise the budget; there\u2019s a fantastic story\nto be told but there\u2019s one factor many neglect to mention in the telling: That\nit\u2019s never been repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martingale-type systems<\/a> chase ever-increasing losses until stopped by the table limit or a player\u2019s limited bankroll. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such losses can be a lot more than players might\nimagine thanks to the nature of random outcomes and the fact that gambling\ndevices have no memory, so it is entirely possible for a 50\/50 outcome not to\noccur after dozens of fair rolls, spins or turns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same can be true for a series of wins and in\nthe case of Norman Leigh and his assault on Monte Carlo, he was simply the\nbenefactor of a terrific run of luck that was halted before the tide could turn\nthe other way as it always, always does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, in my movie, the ending would\nbe better\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
