...you just gotta believe in your self that you can do it...
Welcome to the world of gambling! Where such line as this is never applicable. You can speak of it to a boxer in a match, or a singer in a competition, or a runner in a race, but never to a gambler whose only chance of winning is by random
Well, personally I totally agree with you
However, if you (for example) believe in God (a higher deity, conscious universe, world government, aliens, or anything to that tune), it would be hard not to accept that you can't rationally reason with somebody who believes in his luck (or in himself, which is actually the same). In other words, these are things of the same order (read, their falseness cannot be proven or disproven as they lack a certain quality called falsifiability). And the ultimate irony in all of this is that it can in fact pan out in real life as with anything truly random (read, there can be powerful outliers)
. martingale method and other strategies have been discussed many times but most of the answers will say that it does not work
Let me clarify it a little. It does work. Martingale remains up to this very day because it could be used and it could work. And it could make you recover your loss the quickest way
Again, agree with this point. It is how you use this system (as well as stop using it) which determines your success rates with it in the long run
