Martingale and similar systems promise steady wins. Here is why they fail in the long run.
How the Martingale works
The Martingale doubles your bet after each loss so one win recovers everything. It looks safe until a long losing streak arrives.
The limits that stop it
Table limits and your own bankroll cap how far you can double. A short run of losses can wipe out many small wins at once.
The mathematical truth
Each spin is independent and carries the same negative expectation. No staking pattern can change that, so play for fun.
