Sins of the Gambler 2 (Posted on 2007-04-05) Difficulty: 4 of 5
A gambler playing roulette has a superstition that he must place bets for exactly 10 spins of a roulette wheel (American wheel with 00). He has a bankroll of $300 and the table limits are minimum $1 and maximum $150, with $1 increments.

Can you find a strategy which guarantees he will be able to place ten bets and will have at least a 96% chance of making a profit (finishing bankroll of at least $301)?
