Online casino players often hear about Martingale Strategy, which was once incredibly popular. Today it’s also used, especially by newcomers, who are not the experts in choosing appropriate patterns of the game. It is said that the Martingale Doubling Strategy guarantees that a player won’t go in the red anyway, and he will always have its profit. So now we’ll try to figure out if it’s true or not.

At first, let’s take a look at the principles of the Martingale Doubling Strategy. As a matter of fact, it’s based on doubling the bet after every loss. Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? To be more specific, let’s take an example with online casino roulette. Suppose, you bet $1 on Red. In this case the bet pays off 1:1, what means that you will earn $1, if you win. So if you lose, you should wager $2 on Red next time. And there you may win $4. Simple calculations show that the profit in this case will be still $1. If you lose again, you will have to wager $4, making total investment of $7 already. And profit will still be one dollar. Now imagine, that it’s the eighth round already, so that you have to wager $128 with total investment of $255. And there if you win, you will again get only $1.

But some people think, that if wheel has resulted in black for two times already, then at the next spin it’ll be red for sure. It’s a quite common mistake, which is extremely popular among new online casino players. Remember, that roulette or any other kinda game has no memory, so the program inside it doesn’t know if there were three equal results in sequence or 33. You may have black sector for 50 times one by one, and that’s quite normal. The outcome of every spin is independent and absolutely random.

So does it make any sense to using Martingale Doubling Strategy? We think that no, and there are two main reasons for it. First of all, you have to spend much money and may quickly run out of bankroll and get into debts. And it was just the example with $1 profit. And what if you want to earn $10? And the second reason is that every online casino has upper limits, where the strategy comes unstuck.

One can be said for sure, and it’s that this strategy is really profitable for online casinos, as it makes people spend much money on betting. So our advice is to avoid using Martingale Strategy playing roulette or any other game at online casinos.
