Why do people martingale anyways then? i dont get it..

theres a lot of people who use it and say it works..
If there is a large difference between your starting bet and the lesser of your bankroll and the house max bet amount then you will generally be able to make a small amount of money as the chances of having a bad luck spree early on is very low. At the very least you will want to have at least 100x in a bankroll as your starting bet and you potentially can make a small amount of money realistically if you know when to stop.

The problem is that many people get greedy and end up loosing their entire bankroll. At a point martingale somewhat becomes an all or nothing type bet

It's not about getting greedy, it's how martingale works. If you are doing martingale and you lose 10 in a row, is making the 11th bet greedy? Either making the 11th bet is greedy, or martingale failed because you didn't make a profit.

most sites' nowadaze have martingale detection trip-switch  ~ good luck beating the scammers! lol :-D

With a right provably fair implementation, sites won't be able to analyze your playing style and get advantage on it. Also, they don't need to. Smiley

sure yeah right : imo any "fair" site will get botted to hell! :-D

Martingale is a losing strategy.

Having a bot Martingale for you just makes you lose faster.

Sites welcome Martingale players because they know they will end up losing. There's absolutely no need (and if the site is designed probably, no way) to cheat them.

+1
You know why dice sites introduce autobet feature? Because it help increase the total wagered amount easily and hence the expected house profit.

I wouldnt doubt that the system just jacked u... Hard to do that in 50/50 its like getting hit by lightning.

U cant even dispute it since they will throw the math book at u.. I wouldnt doubt if these sites detect martingalers and screw the ones over who bet alot of money... I bet u did lose alot and i bet the site got u amd not math.. Although it doesmt always have to be that way just another reason not to use it

Maybe, you should only martingale if you have the bankroll. I have seen players who martingales with base bet of few sats, and were betting 5 btc as their last bet. If you keep around 25 losses in mind, you should be fine with martingaling(for a short term)

Martingle is a great system if you have unlimited money. Please see why does the casino has the max bet limit?

But my best strategy ever is never stop playing when you are on winning streak and stop playing when is on losing streak.

I made a little money with it.

Honestly this is just common sense. Learn stats or probability.


When you martingale more and more , eventually you will be cleaned out.

Very true, and the main point of gambling IMO is you need to know when to stop both when you are up and you are down. Smiley

In term of probability, martingale maybe the same with betting on high win chance. But martingale allows you to control when to stop.

it's pretty common to have 20+ loss streaks at 49.5% on dicesites. If your basebet is 1mBtc using that method, 40 BTc won't be enough.

truth is anyone who comes with a consistently winning strategy will be flagged by the site operators just as i real life in Vegas if you are some kind of epic card counter .. psychic or something they will chuck you out of the casino so fast lmao Wink
