The Martingale is a popular betting strategy based on the idea of doubling your bet after every loss, so that when you eventually win, you recover all previous losses plus a profit equal to your original bet.
How It Works:
- *Improvement: Wait for three black numbers in a row
- Bet a fixed amount (e.g., $5 on red).
- If you win, you keep the profit and restart the bet at $5.
- If you lose, you double your bet to $10.
- If you lose again, double to $20.
- Keep doubling after each loss until you win.
When you win, you’ve recovered all losses and made a net profit of $5.
✅ Pros:
- Easy to understand.
- Can quickly recover small losses.
⚠️ Cons:
- Requires a large bankroll.
- It can take a long time to wait for three black numbers in a row.
- Can hit table limits fast.
- Losses can grow exponentially (e.g., $5 → $10 → $20 → $40 → $80 → $160 → $320 → $640…)
📝Example:
- Wait for 3 black numbers in a row
- Bet 1 → Lose
- Bet 2 → Lose
- Bet 3 → Win
- Total spent: $5 + $10 + $20 = $35
- Win pays $40 → Net profit: $5
