I just testing martingale gambling method.

This is my experience:
After 2 days of gambling I collected 1500 Dogecoins
After 3 days of gambling I lost about 2000 Dogecoins

So I lost because, I have 20x negative times in row.
I expected about 18x or 19x.

Anyway, can anybody tell me what is max negative times in row?
Anybody have same expirience?

That's pretty normal and I'm sure many have had the same experience.  The thing to remember is that even though losing a 50/50 bet 20 times in a row seems unlikely... it is very possible and happens routinely if you roll the dice, flip the coin, spin the wheel, kick the... well you get the idea. 

The old saying, quit while you're ahead comes to mind.  Don't expect to play a million tries and not experience the extreme 20+ loss streaks in a 50/50 game because it will happen very soon.
