Low-risk bet with low cash-out target (1.2x-1.5x) for consistent small wins
The safety bet is the conservative portion of a double betting strategy. It aims for low multiplier targets (typically 1.2x-1.5x) that have a high probability of being achieved. The goal is to generate consistent small wins that protect your bankroll and cover losses from the riskier profit bet. Think of it as your 'base income' - steady, reliable, but not exciting. In a well-executed double bet strategy, safety bets should win 60-80% of the time.
In a 70/30 split with $10 total bet: Safety bet = $7 with 1.3x target. If it hits, you win $9.10 (profit: $2.10). Even if your $3 profit bet loses, your net result is -$0.90 instead of -$10. Over 10 rounds, consistent safety wins significantly reduce overall risk.
Safety bet size should be 60-80% of your total bet for conservative play, 50-60% for balanced. Safety target should be low enough to hit 70%+ of the time - typically 1.2x-1.4x. This creates a cushion against profit bet failures.
