✅ When Martingale Works
The Martingale works well when you have a robust bankroll (minimum 50x the initial bet), odds close to 2.0, discipline to follow the plan, and a defined stop-loss.
❌ When It Doesn't Work
- Insufficient bankroll: 8-10 losses can wipe out your bankroll
- Low odds: with odds 1.5 the progression is more aggressive
- House limits: high bets may be rejected
📈 Statistical Data
With odds 2.0, the probability of 5 consecutive losses is 3.125%. 8 losses have only 0.39% chance.
🎯 Conclusion
Yes, Martingale works as a short-term strategy with adequate bankroll and discipline.
