Actually, I was a little off on how I stated the rule. When you are "en prison" you lose if the next non-zero roll is not the one you bet on, and you only win your wager back if it is the one you wagered on (you don't win the bet). Also, keep in mind that you are only increasing your odds to get to £160 by betting the minimum and doubling each time you lose, but at the expense of your entire bankroll. In the long run the house
always has the advantage.
