Yeah, I know this. I didn't really need the $200 profit that I had (and still had to wager a ton on), and thought it would be fun to see how long my account could endure the martingle. It endured to the point where the money became worthwhile, so I stopped.

It's kind of like a drunk 15/30 session. Massivly -EV, but massivly fun.

Anyone ever tried using a Martingale strategy in a nice game of Russian Roulette?

Aha. In Russian Roulette, you can't have a long losing streak.

I did hear about some Drunken East Europeans who found an Anti-Tank landmine, and decided to play russian roullete by taking it in turns to jump on it. They all got blown to pieces....

I guess the next step in the "Russian Martingdale" would probably involve anthrax or nuclear fusion....
