What Kind of Strategy Is the Goodman Method?

The Goodman Method is also known as the ‘1235 method’ and can be used easily by beginners, as the procedure can be achieved by simply moving the bet amount as the name suggests.

However, it is advisable to decide on the initial wager carefully, because if the winning streak continues, you will be betting an amount equal to five times your initial bet.
This section also explains the difference between the ‘Barnett Method’ and the Goodman Method, as well as simulations using the Goodman Method.

It Can Be Used for Casino Games with Double Payouts

The Goodman Method is suitable for ‘2x payout (50% win)’ games.
Double payouts are games where you win twice your stake when you win, such as a 2x multiplier in Crash games, red/black roulette, baccarat players, and ‘1’ in live casino show games such as ‘Crazy Time’.

Baccarat bankers have a payout of 1.95x, so use no-commission baccarat when using them (consider a ‘6’ win as a ‘tie’, as it has a payout of 1.5x).

Explaining How to Wager on the Goodman Method

The following section explains how to bet using the Goodman Method.

Rules and Methods of the Goodman Method

1. First, determine the initial bet amount (= 1 unit). In this explanation, 1 unit = 1 USD.
   You place your first bet of $1 and win.
2. If you lose, the Goodman Method ends, and you move on to the next set (below, the game is always reset if you lose).
   In the case of a tie, continue betting the same amount.
3. If you win, you now bet $2. If you win that game as well, bet $3 next time.
4. If you win three times in a row, $1 ⇨ $2 ⇨ $3, you place a final bet of $5. If you win that bet as well, the Goodman Method is successful.

The next and subsequent wins can be reset, but it is common practice to ‘keep betting $5 until you lose’.

Simulation of the Goodman Method

The following section shows the results of betting specifically using the Goodman Method, together with income and expenditure.

Goodman Method in Practice (Simulation)

This section describes a simulation of the Goodman Method in practice, along with a table summarising the results.
This is a simulation of the Goodman Method when 15 bets are placed on a player in the BC.GAME Casino demo play ‘No Commission Baccarat’.
The rule is that if you win $5, you should continue betting $5.

Please see the table below first.

#	Betting Amount	Wins/Losses	Income/Expenses	Cumulative Profit/Loss

Step 1: Goodman Method Success in the Sixth Game! Aiming for Back-to-Back Wins

The winning streak continued from the third game, and I finally succeeded in the Goodman Method (1, 2, 3, 5) in the seventh game!
I aimed to win as many games in a row as possible with a $5 bet from this point on, but I lost in game 9 after the tie in game 8.

Step 2: Four Consecutive Losses in 12 Games, but with Little Reduction!

From game 9 to game 12, I lost four games in a row!
However, after the -$5 in game 9, the losses were minimal as they were all -$1 losses. This defensiveness is the advantage of the Goodman Method.

The result this time was 7 wins, 7 losses, and 1 draw, for a cumulative break-even of +$5.

Of course, this figure is calculated at 1 unit = 1 USD, so if the initial wager was 10 USD, the balance would be +50 USD.
Initially, I won five in a row and then experienced a series of losses.

However, if you win three in a row, you will always achieve a positive balance, at least according to the Goodman Method. Additionally, if you win four or more in a row, you will always end with a profit. For example, three wins in a row yield $6, so the money system is essentially designed to target four consecutive wins.

Moreover, it is always -$1, even if you encounter consecutive losses afterwards, making it a strategy that provides ample opportunities to aim for four consecutive wins by increasing the number of attempts.
However, if you do not achieve four wins in a row at some point, you will inevitably end with a negative result, meaning a certain level of focus is required when playing.

Advantages of the Goodman Method

Can Be Practised with Little Money

The Goodman Method has the advantage of requiring a smaller amount of money compared to systems that increase the wager after a loss. With the Goodman Method, wagers are only increased when you win.
For a single set, you only need $2 to practise the Goodman Method if your initial wager is $1.

Compared to the Martingale and Kokomo methods, which require substantial funds for defence, the Goodman Method is a much easier money system to use.

Losses Do Not Increase Even If a Losing Streak Occurs

The Goodman Method always returns to one unit of betting when you lose.
As a result, even if you lose a series of bets, the only amount you lose each time is the initial wager.

The Parlay Method is another strategy where the first wager is lost each time, but while the Parlay Method is an offensive strategy with a low success rate, the Goodman Method is a defensive strategy with a higher success rate, making it a money system with well-controlled risks.

Disadvantages of the Goodman Method

You Have to Win Three in a Row to Make a Profit

The Goodman Method is designed on the premise that four consecutive wins are needed to lock in a profit.
The disadvantage of this method is that it requires a longer-term approach to accumulate significant profit. The thresholds for profit are:

• ±0 USD if you lose after two consecutive wins,
• +1 USD if you lose after three consecutive wins, and
• +6 USD if you lose after four consecutive wins.

If you stop using the Goodman Method without achieving four consecutive wins, your earnings are likely to be negative, making it unsuitable for short-term play.

Alternating Between Wins and Losses Increases Losses

The Goodman Method involves betting one unit in the first round and two units in the second round. If you win once and then lose once, you lose one unit overall.

For example, if you keep betting on the player in baccarat and encounter alternating results (e.g., player ⇨ banker ⇨ player ⇨ banker), you will incur a loss.
It is important to note that this strategy relies on winning streaks, and alternating results can increase your losses.

Which Is Better, the Goodman or the Barnett Method?

The Goodman and Barnett Methods (1-3-2-6) are quite similar in procedure. When 1 unit = $1, the bet amounts during a winning streak progress as follows:

Name of Strategy	Betting Amount
Barnett Method	$1 ⇨ $3 ⇨ $2 ⇨ $6
Goodman Method	$1 ⇨ $2 ⇨ $3 ⇨ $5

The Goodman Method is a low-risk betting strategy, while the Barnett Method is more profitable if you win a lot of bets.

Summary of the Goodman Method

The Goodman Method (1-2-3-5) is a strategy that can be used for crash gambling and various live games such as roulette, baccarat, and money wheels, with a simple procedure of increasing the betting amount as follows: ‘1 ⇨ 2 ⇨ 3 ⇨ 5’ after consecutive wins.

It is a popular betting system alongside the Barnett Method (1-3-2-6), which has a similar structure. The Goodman Method is advantageous because it requires smaller stakes, increases bets when winning, and reduces the risk of consecutive losses.
