The so-called Martingale strategy is one of the most popular and simplest Roulette strategies worldwide. Already since the 18th century people talk about a matingale game, when the stake in a game is increased in case of loss. Initially, the Martingale strategy gained fame in the game of chance Pharo, where French cards are played. In the meantime, the tactic is known especially in roulette. In this context, it is sometimes referred to as a "roulette doubling tactic". The Martingale system is based on the probability theory of the famous mathematician Paul Pierre Levy.
The strategy works by placing a Bet of any amount on a simple chance in the first game. The simple odds are, for example, the bet on red or black or even or odd. If the Player wins, he can enjoy his win and continue playing. If he misses, the Martingale strategy states that the bet will be doubled in the following round. If you lose again in the next round, you double your bet again. Once a win is made, the system starts all over again.
The problem with the Martingale system is that in case of longer losing streaks, very high stakes are required to continue the strategy. In addition, there are individual table limits, which can sometimes cause the Martingale system to stop working. The longer a player plays according to this system, the higher the probability of a total loss when such a series of losses occurs.
