allowing your opponent to martingale you

But how could you finish on plus if the Martingale system player won the last game?

My opponent wasn't quite doubling up, and in the last match he was only trying to win 2/3 of his money back.

Playing against a martingale or near-martingale is like entering a tournament. Some people focus on the likely loss, but my return on investment is high when I play in large tournaments. Of course, my risk of getting stiffed is lower in real tournaments, but this opponent was also weaker than most of my tournament opponents.
