It appears that the issue is not with the bet selection, but with the progression. The 1-3-9 seems to be a "sudden death" Marti.............I'm sure that GLC has a more effective progression in his arsenal.
This might be a HG, but it needs the right progression.
Even something like a 1-3-9........2-6-18........3-9-27 as different levels might work. Just an idea!
Ill figure it out if it kills me
