Double when you win, or double when you lose?

[Eternad]

You should know that trying to double your winning is not easy. Many gamblers try that but most of them losing their money and some of them lose all of their money. You should aware of this and not doing the same because if you already win, you need to realize that is the time to take a breath by stop gamble for a while.

If you choose to continue gambling, you must accept the risk and will not regret if that is happen to you. Double your bet when you lose is also not a good choice because your chance to lose big will be wide open. You need to be wise treating gambling so you will not lose too big, more than you can afford.

The OP is not pertaining on the actual winnings or lose rather the betting method that you will do for your bankroll management.

For example is the martingale system which user increase their bet when losing. The opposite strategy is doubling your bet when you win a round so that you increase your profit significantly in case you will have a win streak run.

Personally, It’s good to increase but when winning because you will only risk your profit.

Bankroll management with a fixed amount can feel boring sometimes, that’s why we get tempted to switch it up and try different betting styles. Not quite Martingale, but upping the stakes occasionally definitely adds more thrill.

Between the two options, which one do you think actually delivers more wins than losses in the long run for you?

I'm employing both; it depends on my mood and on the present situation I'm in. When I'm on a losing streak, I usually double up when losing; this is to regain my initial losses. Yes, its martingale but this is when the emotion is very high, and I usually double when winning because I believe there is such a thing as a winning streak. I experience both the winning and the losing streak.
This strategy will not always work so you have to be flexible, and do not follow a pattern; just do what you feel will get you an advantage.

None in my opinion, everything still boils down to chance.
But if am to pick, it would be double win
Because when you hit something like a losing streak, it goes on until you choose to take a break
Because at that moment you are influenced by your emotions and would be tempted to dive into bigger odds to recover your losses
But when you winning, you tend to become cautious/not influenced negatively by your emotions.

I would actually double whenever I would win.

In the first option (doubling your winnings), you have already won in your gambling event. In fact, the process is already complete and you would just opt to gamble away the money you just won in order to double it. On the other hand, under the second option, you are in the process of a loss. By doubling your losses, in the event that you win, you would recover the losses that you just incurred and you're back to ground zero. Unfortunately if you lose in the process, then you would increase your overall losses.

In conclusion, doubling your winnings is ideally recommended than doubling your losses.

I think adding more onto your budget should only be done if you have extra money for the budget. I don’t think doing this will necessarily make you win more but it can definitely make you prevent spending more than what you can and spending more money when you lose. This management will allow for more flexibility and enjoyment without putting you in debt.

doubling when winning tends to be dissatisfaction with the results obtained. maybe some gamblers do it when what is obtained is a small win in a row, not a big win that makes you happy.
Although not so often, but I prefer to double when losing. Sounds like chasing a loss, but it is an attempt to quickly return the loss if in the next game we win the bet. But, both have risks, every gamble must have a different situation, we can determine the most appropriate and can give us profit.

[Shinpako09]

If I'm not mistaken, that is what they call the reverse martingale, where you double your bet when you win instead of when you lose. I actually tried it when I was fairly new to dice, as that’s what they suggested in the chat room. But I only used it a few times since I wasn’t comfortable with it compared to the normal martingale.

Anyway, both suck and can drain your balance in no time. I used Martingale again last December after not using it for a very long time. I made around $200 in less than a week and lost it all in one night.

I am not a fan of this but let's assume that I was going to do this with the money that I know that I can afford to lose, it will be to double on my win. Double down on my loss will make my losses increase if I para venture should lose that amount again. But if I should lose when I double on my wins, the loss will be small. I don't know if this makes sense but it is the way I have rationalized it.

Nope, it doesn't!
You bet 1, you win, you bet 2, you win. You bet 4 you win. You bet 8, you lose. Overall, you just lost 1!

You can't beat a game designed with math by applying math, end of it!
If any strategy were possible, casinos would be bankrupt already.

It's pretty simple, with a 50/50 coin toss, you need to win every game to account for a huge streak of losses, a thing which is impossible.

To double on losses is the most common strategy, as you recover the previous losses and still profits a round. On the other hand, to double when you win may create a lot of trouble, as you will have more difficult to recover your money when facing a loss streak. Let's say you gambled 100$ and won, then you gambled 200$ in the sequence and lost. So you place further 100$ bets and continue losing. How are you going to recover this money? For me it seems the strategy works against the gambler in this case, even on short term.

At least when doubling on losses you manage to survive in the game for longer in most cases compared to when doubling on winnings.

[Solosanz]

Double when lose is more make sense I think because we're often lose than win.

If you double when you win, it's only drain your bankroll because after you increase your bet, you likely to lose in the next bet.

If you double when you lose, you're trying to chase your losses because you're hoping your next bet will recover the previous losses.

In the first option (doubling your winnings), you have already won in your gambling event. In fact, the process is already complete and you would just opt to gamble away the money you just won in order to double it.

That's in theory, in reality you would run of your bankroll.

I think double when win is only for sports betting or other skill based games because it there's no system which make us will lose in the long run. Unlike lucky based games, there's a algorithm behind the games.

None of the two options are profitable, if you double when you lose it might get worse and if you also double when you win it might make you lose more. The best thing to do is maintain a moderate stake, anything that has to do with Increasing your bets means that you are chasing your losses and this is only going to increase your addiction to gambling. This betting system doesn't have an advantage and in the long run it doesn't profit you as a gambler.

[DaNNy001]

Although I don't advice anyone to follow the options because they are both risky...If I had to choose between them I would go for increasing my bet when I win...If this goes wrong you can lose everything you have won but gambling is all about trying to see if you'd get lucky.. increasing your bets after winning has the possibilities of making you win more, it adds to your bankroll so therefore you can easily increase the amount of money you stake with aiming for a bigger profit..but always remember that gambling can be very uncertain

I quite often double my bet when I lose but only in dice games and in the long run the results are disappointing and maybe 2-3 times I double my bet when I win and the results are quite good but this is not done in the long term only a few times in dice games, and maybe if it is done in the long term or continues to be done in winning conditions the results will also be disappointing, so in my opinion do this if you understand the risks because in losing or winning conditions doubling your bet means increasing the risk.

I will prefer to choose double when I'm ready for it, no matter I'm on winning or I'm on losing, as long as I'm ready to accept the worse case then I'll do double my bet.
Frankly I'm not gambler who like to double or increase my base bet since I'm mostly play on slot and plinko game, I like to use flat betting strategy.
I'll do the same bet amount during my gambling session until I lose it all or until I manage to win something.

Honestly, I don't really like this kind of thing because even though it provides variety, it cannot be denied that in the end this can make the situation a little more unpredictable in terms of results including the reduction of our balance. But it is a little difficult to stay in the same condition especially when faced with a win or loss so it is certain that increasing the bet will always be an option to make it seem normal.

I don't really want to be naive even though I don't really like such conditions but indeed it has also been felt even maybe almost all gamblers feel the same way. But if there is a choice of other options I don't think this would be a good thing to continue to do even though in the end something like this will be considered as a thing that might seem natural but we better consider further to double the bet especially when we are in a losing situation.

That would be when playing poker, certainly not what I would want to do while playing on sports betting, it gives the idea of chasing my loses and I don’t like that. Chasing your loses is a strategy that often leads to even more losses and of the worst kind with an increased stake.
I rather call it game over for the day and try again when there are just are a lot of games and good fixtures to make my predictions.

That doesn’t mean I stick to a gambling strategy, sometimes I go with minimum stake and other times when I’m money hungry, I play it safe with huge stakes against safe odds. Guess what, you’ll still lose a few times.

I did something like this once and it didn't end well for me. I lost the first few bets and I decided to double my wager and within few minutes, I blew off my funds. I funded my account again in attempt to recover my money and I lost everything the second time. Since then I don't try it. Whether I'm on a losing or winning streak, I just stick with my wager and I don't allow few wins or loses drive me crazy.

[mindrust]

Neither.

Martingale sucks no matter which variation of martingale you are using. There is only one reality, the house edge will make sure you’ll end up being the loser, not the casino and since martingale makes you play more, it means martingale is a strategy that actually works in favor of the casino.

Also why even get obsessed with winning? It is not healthy in the first place. Having an obsession with winning is a mental problem which needs to be treated.

If you want to make money, go start a business or get a job.

I have doubled my bet several times, and the result is still a loss. Whether in a winning situation or a losing situation, when I increase my adrenaline by doubling my bet, the result will be quite bad. Because in a winning situation, what happens is greed to want to win more. So too in a losing situation, what happens is panic to chase the losses that have been experienced. The results of each gambler must be different because of their level of luck.

Its a game of chance I think none of these methods can deliver a good result. you can use one of these or both but its still luck that plays a big factor.
I sometimes do this unknowingly because of the high emotions during the game. When you are gambling, you are open to any option that you think will give you a chance to recover or win, even though you hate doing the martingale methods; things just happen.
