Base Unit vs Change Unit and Chop Profit in Roulette

 What happens when your Base Unit is different from your Change Unit in a Negative Progression?

On the high minimum bet single zero tables with a $50 or $100 minimum (base unit) this works also. The amount you increase by (change unit) is your profit on a chop (one loss, one win). 

After you are well into profit or loss you can increase or decrease your change unit. So with a $100 base unit you could start with a $50 and move to a $20 change unit. Since the change unit is your profit on a chop, with a real small change unit you will need a lot of chops to get to profit if you have more losses than wins. 

With a change unit of 50% of the base unit you will need 2 chops for every loss level up you are. With a change unit of 20% you will need five chops for every loss level up you are. I've been working on a way to explain this, I hope this helps.

Your profit comes from two sources in a Negative Progression.  

A Negative Progression is when you increase your bet after a loss.  This is the most common progression in Roulette betting.  

First off if you win before you have had a loss you will be up the amount of your base unit.  

Second, after you have had a loss or multiple losses and you have a chop you will gain back the change unit amount.  

If your base unit is larger than your change unit your biggest gains will be when you are bouncing (chopping)  right at your base unit. Loss, win, win, loss, win where you do not go up more than one loss from your base unit.
