That said, the whole system was easily fit on two pages. It is basically a nine-step Martingale with these tweaks:
1. Instead of jumping from 2 to 4 unit bet, the player goes to 3 after 2. In other words, the sequence is 1-2-3-6-12-24-48-96-192.
2. The player plays opposite bets at the same time.
I explain it in more detail and cover an analysis of the single-zero game at my new page at WoO on the Keefer Roulette System. My double-zero simulation is currently running and I'll update the page tomorrow with those results. I also plan to retake the pictures of the eight key pages.
For now, I throw it open to the forum for comments. Of the attorneys on the forum, I ask whether I am within the "fair use" rules to explain the system and/or show pictures of some of the pages?
The question for the forum is would you use the Keefer System?

Not a lawyer (or anything close to one) but here are are a couple of links that I found interesting:

For the poll, I chose:
".No -- All betting systems are equally worthless."
"Wiz, why are you such a downer?"
and
"I like how the ball on the cover landed in zero."
"13 Against the Bank" is a very well written and fun to read book even though the author's claim of a winning system is obviously bogus
apparently some think the system is not bogus as the mass market is being offered on Amazon (linked) for $768
it's available free on the internet archive (linked) if you create a free account (I'm pretty sure)
in the book the author explains that his father was crushed playing a martingale in Europe and that the casino manager laughed in his face
he strikes back by forming a team of roulette players using a reverse labouchere on the even chances and they crush the house
he claims that they are looking for one of the 13 on the team to get a fabulous run on the even chances and that they clean up

The book is selling for $20.78. I reviewed this book on here a few years ago.
I do agree it is a fun but fictitious read designed to appear a true story.
Should probably rename it the "Adventures of thirteen Greyhounds against the bank" :)
The double zero simulation table is blank.
In the single zero simulation table, after the probability of a win, you have two lines that just say "probability". I suspect you want it to say probability of breaking even and probability of a loss.
Quote: Ace2In principle, spending $23 on that book is even worse than buying lottery tickets. Maybe you can return it
I knew what I was buying and got what I needed to out of it. The seller never represented the book was truthful.
I have finished my double-zero simulation, added it to my page, and made many edits.
Please have a new look.

No. It doesn't reduce the house edge and greatly increases risk of ruin.
