Not to sidetrack anything, but can someone explain 'martingale'?

There are two variants. If you place a bet on RED at a wheel, you either win or lose. If you lose, you double the bet, and then continue doubling the bet. Your over-all expectation is decreased by the green numbers (0,00). I suppose that this could theoretically create a losing proposition if enough green numbers came up in a row.

$1 bet = $2win-$1bet= $1profit

if you lose:

$2 bet = $4 win- $2bet-$1bet = $1 profit.

There is also something called the Grand Martingale, which you double your bet and add one dollar. The math is simple.

Dave,

1) That sounds retarded.

2) How are we applying this to HUSNGs?

Do you really believe Martingale works in -EV games? ZOMG YOU COULD BE RICH NO ONE EVER THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE!

[daveT]

Yes, I understand that it is NOT OPTIMAL, but since (better players) has told me that I should attempt to learn it, and to stop guessing with the end game, and that.....

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In fact, I read on THIS forum that I will do better with SAGE.

I don't see it.

Results oriented thinking? Really!!!
I hope I have learned to think beyond that [censored] by now.

Keep on picking on the Martingale and how I brought it up. If you can get past flaming me, you will understand why I picked the [censored] comparison, which I already stated. ZOMG!!! Just about every drooling idiot in the world knows it isn't a profitable system.

1= Martingale is a worthless system

+

1= I feel that SAGE is like Martingale

=

2= I feel that SAGE is worthless in HUSNGs.

At the very least, it needs to be modified. I don't have the actual equations of SAGE, and I probably wouldn't be smart enough to figure it out anyways.

This can't be right. Although I think you're exaggerating to make a point.

You're not thinking correctly, sir.

Dinner Time!

I'm so [censored] pissed.

In the middle of the best session in over a month (my decisions/focus/attitude) and my mouse stops working. I'm like what the [censored], and start messing with it. Not working. Blinding out on two tables trying to get it to [censored] work and it won't respond. Rush to the closet, everything is reorganized (I LOVE YOU SWEETHEART) and I can't find any spare mice.

Moral of story, don't use a wireless mouse without backup batteries VERY near by and a backup mouse VERY near by. [censored]
