I wouldn't even think of using that strategy in any type of game. There was a thread about Martingale strategy and you can read from there different experience of different gamblers who tried to use Martingale strategy in different games. Bottom line, it didn't work. They ended up losing. Remember, it's a game of chance, no strategy can beat that or else it will be a game of strategies.
True, at first the system may seem to work and even to seem flawless, but for the martingale system to finally break you will have to play for a long time, this is why those that only employed the system a few times indicated good results but for those that actually adopted the system and used the system for a long time the system eventually failed and their losses probably amounted to all their capital.
This is one the good things of math, many think of math just as a hard subject they learn at school not understand they can predict outcomes with it and improve their lives if they choose the better ones, and using the martingale system is definitely a mistake when gambling.
