Re: This is why you shouldn't use martingale

Strange, although it doesn't change anything it's unlike the human mind to decide that after getting a low your best bet is to bet low the 2nd time round. If she didn't change at all that losing streak wouldn't have happened.

I was thinking that too. And what if that person had started off the other way, they would have won every bet.

Each roll is an independent event. Doesn't matter what she chooses.

Yeah she would have eventually hit a losing streak and lost - even if now she avoided it, it is inevitable and she would have busted. Well at least as an investor martingalers are great as although they may take money in the short term you can guarantee that one day you'll get their whole stack.
