Aslong as you got enough money and patience it usually works alright, but for me with out the patience and the money it hasnt worked wonders ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) i don`t have patience how much patience do you need?? In gambling patience is key if you have no then don't involve in gambling because if you cannot lost then you cannot win

Even with unlimited money, you can't kill a casino that uses the kelly criterion. You can simulate that with computers. (Casinos without limits is a different story)
With unlimited money you can buy the casino and then still kill it! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Haha. Thinking outside of the box. Still martingale never works. Not even in theory.It may not work in theory, but could work out in practice... ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) What is that supposed to mean? Fact is that your expected value is negative, if you get lucky and make money with it in the short(or medium) term, that doesn't mean it worked..

Still people try martingale constantly. I am watching primedice and dicebitco.in and people use the bots (or manually) and grind away martingale for 10000s of bets. I guess they like the fact that they constantly win money until the big bang.

Yes, you can win with martingale but when you made some profit run, don't be greedy or you'll end losing.

Because of human psychology. Constant rewards release endorphines. Thus giving a positive feedback loop. Rinse repeat.

Look at arbitrage for example, you can prove mathematically that it yields a positive expected value. With martingale everyone who knows basic algebra can disprove it.

But is that really "working"? I would just call that shortterm luck.
That is like a fish in poker playing horrible and still having inredible luck. Sure he can win in the shortterm, but that doesn't mean his strategy works.
Do you get my angle?

But is that really "working"? I would just call that shortterm luck.
That is like a fish in poker playing horrible and still having inredible luck. Sure he can win in the shortterm, but that doesn't mean his strategy works.
Do you get my angle?
No, I wouldn't call it sheer luck. You know what you're doing... ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Ok, so we do have very different definitions of "working" then When you toss a coin, chances that it lands on the same side are diminishing with each toss. Would you call this short-term luck if the coin does not fall 10 times in sequence on the same side? I would say quite the contrary! ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) I call it chance. But I see that you are ignoring that. The chance for it not to happen is: 1-0.5^10 , still if you make a martingale bet on it, then you will lose longterm... Ignoring what? You didn't answer my question... ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)
