Sports betting Martingale strategy?

This strategy is actually only known from Blackjack or Roulette in the casino. The biggest problem is that if you get a losing streak, there is nothing you can actually do about it, and a streak of 10 losses, for example, is not excessively rare. After that, you've usually lost your entire bet.
I've been betting for many years and can't remember losing 5 "normal single bets" with odds between 1.4-2.0 in a row.
The only difference between casino and sports betting is the payout/odds.
But you don't bet below 1.4 or 1.5 anyway.
I have calculated the Martingale strategy if you play with 1.5 odds every time.
On the far left is the bet that doubles, in the middle is the win and on the right the column shows the total minus in the theoretical loss.
100€ - 150. 100
200€ -300. 300
400€ - 600. 700
800€ - 1200. 1500
1600€ - 2400. 3100

You would make a very good plus despite the low rate.
Has anyone ever tried this or had any experience? I'm wondering why I've never tried it myself.
Of course, you would approach the whole thing differently than at the casino and not play all the time, but choose games and if you can't find any good games/safe bets, just one bet per week, for example.

The problem is that even supposedly safe bets are not safe.

I already posted this in the other thread.

Martingale = 100% certain dead loss in the long term

This is not a system, but a gift for every gambling provider.
No matter in which area - there will always be a losing streak with regular gambling. At some point, the money / limit of the Martingale "strategy" will be used up and the player will be broke.

Let's take an example from me. My longest losing streak was 17. With a Martingale "system" I would have been broke quickly.

Flat or unit-based bets are the only possible ones for a proper game of chance. Everything else is gambling.

My recommendation: steer clear of any martingale "strategy".

It doesn't work with 1.5 odds anyway, does it?
Let's take your level 3...up to that point you have bet 100 200 and 400€, so 700€. If you win 600 with the 400€, you still have 100€ minus.

Or am I making a mistake?

That's right, you'd need at least 1.7 odds to make it mathematically "worthwhile".

I tested this years ago. Starting value was one euro. I landed somewhere in the 50 range with a depositor of 10 euros. Took ages to get back to nothing with a series of losses, which is nothing unusual with 1.7 odds.

Also true. I've been too stingy so often for hedging bets where the win would have been much higher than the actual bet even with a mini bet.
