Just for the reference of anyone who thinks they can win a lot of money with this. Probably not :P Ouch! Got lucky on that last roll. Betting  $60 to win $.30...

2x is the most risky you can choose. I mean, that's a little more than a cointoss... if you really need a cointoss go for 1.95x ;)

Yeah, martingale works in theory, but after a lot of plays you are bound to hit 11-12 incorrect in a row.

I like to call it 'Margin Tail'

Like a dog chasing his tail to get a profit margin.

Most people call it Margin Fail though, as it's bound to fail.

You only ever win your initial bet..its only works if you have unlimited funds

pro-tip: no one does, so don't try it

Use the labouchere system... Set a limit on loss and ride it.

A better method would be just give me 1/2 of your bet. Win win for everyone!
