Splitting the labouchere line can sometimes be confusing and time consuming, sometimes it easier to just blow the numbers up across a single labouchere line. As an example, we have the line:-
2 3 4 6
Our next bet is 8 units, which we are starting to get uncomfortable with, so we are beginning to considering splitting the line. But instead of writing a new sub line we can just blow up the 6 side ways into smaller numbers that add up to 6. For example, we can could rewrite the line to:-
2 3 4 3 3
or
2 3 4 2 2 2
or
2 3 4 1 1 1 1 1 1
In all cases it has reduced the size of the next bet but there is still room to keep the line aggressive or conservative.
This is often much faster and you should learn to use it as one of your regular labouchere manouveres.
My personal preference is to wait until you lose a key spin, then spread the line conservatively. So in the above example, I would have bet the 8 units considering a key spin in this labouchere battle. If I won, then it would go a great way towards the coup but if I lost then I would blow the 8 into a very conservative series and settle in for a long guerilla battle.
Good Luck!
