🌐 Origin of the Martingale

The Martingale system was created in France in the 18th century. Originally used in coin toss games, the idea was simple: double the bet after every loss to recover everything when winning.

🔢 How the Martingale Works

Example: You bet 1 unit on red. If you lose, bet 2. Lose again, bet 4. The sequence is: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16... When you win, you recover all previous losses plus 1 unit. Then restart the sequence.

📉 Why It Doesn’t Work in Practice

• 1. Limited Bankroll: Few people can endure a long losing streak. Ten losses in a row require a 1024-unit bet.
• 2. Table Limits: Casinos set maximum bets. If you hit the limit, you can’t keep doubling.
• 3. House Edge: Even if red has almost a 50% chance, the 0 or 00 ensures you’re always at a disadvantage.

💡 Conclusion

The Martingale might yield short-term gains if luck is on your side, but it’s unsustainable in the long run. It doesn’t eliminate the house edge nor guarantee profits. Its apparent simplicity is part of its deception.
