4. The Double-up/Martingale Betting Systems
4. The Double-up/Martingale Betting Systems In Table 4-1, The Double-up/Martingale Betting Strategy (50/50 game), shows what happens when during the Win Streaks one puts all the money won back into the next bet. On the other hand, the Table also shows what happens when during the Lose Streaks one doubles up their bets using the truncated Martingale method of betting.
Some observations about Table 4-1:
Some observations about Table 4-1: 1) The streaks have been truncated at a streak length of 7. In the Doubleup/ Martingale Betting, the amount of money bet builds very fast. So if one were to place an eighth bet it would exceed the normal table limits ($500 for a $5 minimum bet table) and thus the eighth Martingale bet could not be placed.
