\nFor random players a Martingale is a dangerous way to bet. Doubling and doubling thinking that you finally must win can devastate a player when he reaches the table limit in seven or eight decisions.<\/p>\n
\tBut what about a controlled shooter? Say he played the field and after each loss double his bet? Would a controlled shooter be able to beat the casino by using such a Martingale?<\/p>\n
\tJust wondering.<\/p>\n
\tHave any of you played this way?<\/p>\n
Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on August 23, 2012, 1:49 pm<\/p>\n \tJust a thought—why vary from the GTC philosoply of Pass Line with odd, Come Bet with odds, and place the 6 and 8 which have a house vig of less than 1%? The field bet has a much higher house big. <\/p>\n \tDoc<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Stephen C on August 23, 2012, 1:51 pm<\/p>\n \tFlat bet, no odds \tI cringe to think about the complications brought to this scenario were we to add odds or Place\/Come bets. However, I believe the Return on Investment regardless of where the win occurs would not justify the risk of loss.<\/p>\n \tNo for an Advantage Player the Martingale is not a proper method of play. Actually, it’s not ever a good way to play\/bet for anyone.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Guest on August 23, 2012, 1:59 pm<\/p>\n \tIf you win you get back all of your losses and you win only $5 <\/strong>while you have exposed yourself to large losses!<\/p>\n \tMost players can’t start betting $25, $50, $100, $200, $400, $800, $1600, $3200… to win only $25<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Guest on August 23, 2012, 2:12 pm<\/p>\n \tThe Fibonacci numbers<\/u> are the numbers in the following integer sequence:<\/p>\n \t0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144,…[\/list] \t==========================================================<\/p>\n \tMathematics : Posted by:<\/strong> fscobe on August 23, 2012, 3:30 pm<\/p>\n \tWith that let us say the table is $10 with a maximum of $1,000 and 10X odds. So your first bet is $5 and you lose. The next bet would also be $5. If it won, you are even. <\/p>\n \tNow what if that second bet goes to a number? You take $5 or $6 (on the 5 or 9) in odds. A win brings you back to even on the Pass Line but also gives you a win on the odds. Now you are ahead. If you lose, you have lost the $5 and the odds and you have to wait for your next turn with the dice. How would you bet that turn?<\/p>\n \tSo your Martingale would have to consider the odds bet too. This can get complicated but you can see it would take a big, bad sequence for you to lose enough to hit table max — as long as you are the shooter that is. <\/p>\n \tMaybe someone would like to figure this out so we can see how long it would take to hit the table max of $1,000 on the Pass Line with $10,000 in odds? You start at $5, using odds when the point is established. <\/p>\n \tInteresting proposition.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For random players a Martingale is a dangerous way to bet.
