Hi,
Martingale is always losing strategy,
even if you wait before play.

You can test it here where you can crash any strategy you want with a million bets in 0.5 seconds:

On top, use strategy=1, down set "min losses" at 1, set the margin you prefer, then in "tot rolls" set 1000000

I've tested this strategy. If you win more than you lose, you'll be in good profit compared to other strategies.

If you lose more than you win, no strategy will save you. (except martingale if you have unlimited bankroll)

You might win more than you lose in short term, vice versa. In my simulations you need at least 1,000 bets to almost equalize win/loss ratio.

Wrote a script to simulate this - always a loss with any house edge. It does end up wagering a decent amount of BTC compared to the loss, but a loss non the less.


Code:
House Edge: 0.05
Base Bet: 0.00001000
Number of Rolls: 100000
Total BTC: -0.43114500
Total BTC Wagered: 8.03352000

House Edge: 0.01
Base Bet: 0.00001000
Number of Rolls: 100000
Total BTC: -0.05487440
Total BTC Wagered: 7.97234000

House Edge: 0.00
Base Bet: 0.00001000
Number of Rolls: 100000
Total BTC: 0.02358000
Total BTC Wagered: 7.96112000

Below is the python code - the roll method is pretty straightforward

Code:
def hey_you_guys_sim(num_sims, bet_type, multiplier = 0.5, house_edge = 0.01):
    base_bet = 0.00001000
    start_bet = base_bet
    bet = base_bet
    total = 0
    total_bet = 0
    cur_round = 1
    num_wins = 0

    for i in range(num_sims):

        if cur_round == 31 or num_wins == 3:
            bet = base_bet
            start_bet = base_bet
            cur_round = 1
            num_wins = 0

        results = roll(bet, multiplier, bet_type, house_edge)
        total -= bet
        total_bet += bet

        if results[0] == True:
            total += results[1]

            print('W: {:1.8f}'.format(bet))
            bet = bet * 2.0
            start_bet = start_bet * 2.0
            num_wins += 1
        else:
            print('L: {:1.8f}'.format(bet))
            bet = bet + start_bet

        cur_round += 1

    print('House Edge: {:1.2f}'.format(house_edge))
    print('Base Bet: {:1.8f}'.format(base_bet))
    print('Number of Rolls: {}'.format(num_sims))
    print('Total BTC: {:1.8f}'.format(total))
    print('Total BTC Wagered: {:1.8f}'.format(total_bet))

I charted this in excel, was a little tricky, but was able to do it.  Nothing amazing happened on the charts, that i would find useful for session play.  The concept is not new, there are quite a few types of number lines with parlay in them, 31 parlay is one of them, you bet like a sequence that totals 31 and parlay the win ones and restart.  There are other number lines where you keep on going till two wins, and if back and forth happens on bigger bets, there is a limit, and than restarts.  Some famous casino grinders use and swear by them, and are usually found in books not websites.  The way pros play them is not the same way we play them I think, they grind with black chips and massive banks and often one unit win can be enough to live for a day.  This goes for all systems, including the STAR system.  When I try these systems I hit my consecutive numbers in the low ranges and than it flies through all the big bets without double hits, and thats that.  When I played this system manualy, not on charts, it was fun, it jumped a bit up and down, and I stopped with a small win.  I recommend playing everything progressive, or everything in reverse, and only manual.  It also become like chess if you're in it for the long run and have enough betting units, since using progressive system will produce overall more profit, but most of it is hard to capture, since you loose it if not cashed out, reset.  Also profits attained this way are very slow and inconsistent, and doesn't satisfy the appetite of those who want to make good money gambling.  Martingale is an excellent system, but each session needs to have a stop loss, that way if one day you get 4x on your session, next day you only loose one session on bad string of losses, not everything.  Of course they can and will happen in a row too.  Also system analysis/charting/coding varies strategies is very good because it develops other skills, programming, charting software, etc.

I know it is very old thread. But just wanted to post my openion. I tried so many strategies. But out of all those, i prefer to advise febo.

If i hurt any one, i am ready to remove this comment and say sorry. thank you very much

I have a question about the "method". if you lose, let's say  5 in a row and then you win one and you double the best, but you lose again, you go back to base bet right? Same after the second win? thanks!

And in the same progression, do the math for a martingale... far riskier. Calculate the win amount on what I just showed:

1         -1
2         -3
3         -6
4         -10
5 W      0         <-    -5
10 W    10
20 W    30
1          29
2          27
3          27       <-   Huh maybe 3 W    30
6 lose    21
1          20
2          18
3          15
4 W      19
8 W      27
16 lose  18       <-    11
1          17
2          15
3 W       18
6 W       24
12 W     36 win

MARTINGALE

Martingaling the SAME sequence, a 2x doubling on each loss = 8 WIN

36 VS 8


U messed up in your own system three times  Cheesy

It would be 27 VS 9

But showing one sequence which works better for your system then martingale is pretty naive.

I can give u a better strategy for your sequence:
Keep betting 1 and bet 10 every fifth bet xD

Would be 32 VS 27 for my system  Shocked

He screwed up his math on his quick example. But his posted chart is correct from what I'm looking at.

I tried this a while back just playing for fun, I was more interested in gaming/bitcoin/commerce, and tried this out when the OP originally posted.

My conclusion was: The house does indeed have edge, you cannot turn -EV into +EV and vice versa.

However, when I did play this strategy, it's pretty easy to hit 3 streaks when playing 2x odds. I tried a few variants of my own, shooting for 4 streaks, and so on.

The long short of it is:  If you have a decent bankroll, or budget your bets correctly, you can withstand a swing down before the swing up. I ended up in profit. Hitting if I remember correctly a 3x streak after 6 losses.

Granted I just playing around, I think my base was 0.00000100. But it resulted in I guess:

An initial loss of 0.00002100 (6 losses upping 1 step per loss).

Then I won on 7th.

700 win
1400 win
2800 win
- 2100 loss from first 6 rolls.
0.00002880 Net Profit

Now had I been playing at a base of 0.10, the win would have been 2.8BTC.

3 streaks, no so uncommon. The question is how many do you allow yourself to lose before going back to reset. His chart goes to 30.

Using Martingale, you'd be busted out, by 20ish most likely.

With this, if you were so unlucky to roll 30 losses, then only 1 win and then lose-- math in my head tells me, your loss would be under 0.01BTC using the 1000 satoshi base.

If you rolled 30 losses and then rolled 3 wins, the payout would be 0.00210000.

Using this system, 30 is survivable.

The sweet spot seems to be around 6-7 losses... best returns around there. Lose 6 or 7, hit a 3 streak. But any 3 streak in any series will profit.

House always wins... if you keep playin!

Cheers!

Look at the brighter Side

strategy is 50/50.... if you are lucky and have a goal...
you'll profit

otherwise

you'll end up empty.

goodluck guys
If this is 50/50 win/lose situation then how you can call it a strategy in the first place?
Do you have strategy for coin toss too? Toss is and pray it will be up with the side you chose? Cheesy

if its not 50/50 how do you call it? Smiley

Hope you continue doing well with your system but from my experience like everyone else says any system is only profitable short term and the longer you play the more likely the house takes your money

Why don't you suck the casinos dry if this is working?

In gambling, either you are lucky or not. If you are lucky, you beat the casino, take every penny they got away from them and you became the new casino. If not, you lose everything you got.

If this strategy have worked, there wouldn't be any casinos doing any business out there by now.

i try your strategy with 100.000bets. my result: you dont have enough 3 times win, to cover the loss after 2 times 2win.
Can you show us a proof that the strategy for you work?

thought the base bet is 100bits but it turns out 1000 on your screenshot? can you please explain more in english pls if you know what i mean Smiley

Your base can be whatever. Its just a unit. A metric.

If your base is 2000, you use 2000 as the base, and increase 2000 on losses, and double each win for 2 wins, going back after a 3rd win.

alright let's see how it goes Smiley

thanks for this mate let me see if i will lucky using your method as we all knew that dice game needed more luck even we have good strategy.
