The Five Step Martingale
By Izak

We all know
by now that Martingale is a risky method, that you invest a large amount in
order to gain only 1 unit profit, as you keep doubling your bet if you haven't
hit. However, if we use Martingale cautiously and if we know that our even money
area will hit within 3 or 4 spins, we could use a 4 or 5 step Martingale to
achieve our goal.
Most people
bet on only one area of their preference, say on either Red or Black. By using
Martingale, they hope to hit a Red or a Black within 5-6 spins. Or some
individuals wait for a streak of Red or Black before they apply Martingale on
the opposite colour, assuming that it is "due". We should all know by
now, that this the gambler's fallacy and in Roulette nothing is due. The result
of the next spin does not depend on the previous one. I have seen many times,
9-10 Reds or Blacks lining up in a row with no guarantee that the next spin will
be the opposite colour. That's where Martingale fails the most. As you keep
betting by doubling up your betting amount, you either exceed the table's limit
or you run out of money before you get your unit profit.
If we observe
patterns of Blacks and Reds on the scoreboard, we will see that they either show
up in a choppy way, that is they alternate frequently, either like a zig-zag or
every other spin, or they show up in a streaky manner, that is with long
sequences of Reds or Blacks. Observing those results a bit further, we can also
see, that a table switches from being choppy to streaky and vice versa every now
and then. Taking all that into account, I came to the conclusion that it may be
worth using a 5 step Martingale not on a specific colour but on a specific
pattern of behaviour. And this pattern happens to be a repeating colour. In
other words, you would be betting on the colour that just came up.
Now, what are
the advantages of following a specific colour? Well, first of all, if the table
behaves with a streaky fashion, you win every single bet, regardless of if the
streak is on Black or Red, since you are betting on the same colour that just
came up. So a sequence of 10 successive Blacks or Reds will result in 9 wins. If
the table is slightly choppy, that is not exactly a zig zag, then you will win
either every other spin, or once every third spin, or once every fourth spin.
This way a 5 step Martingale of a sequence 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 will yield excellent
results.
I was using a
$50 unit value. Therefore, my 5 step Martingale became: $50, $100, $200, $400,
$800. This required a bankroll of $1550. Every win resulted in a $50 profit. To
play it safe, I observed scoreboards of the tables where Red and Black were
coming up in a choppy manner, with an exact zig zag, that is one Red, one Black,
one Red, and one Black. Once either Red or Black repeated, that was the mark of
the end of the choppiness and I attacked with my repeat colour strategy. You
could win 10 to 20 sessions until Red and Black starts zig zagging again. Once
you have won your say 10 sessions, you don't wait until the table becomes choppy
again. You look for a new opportunity at a different table. It's good to sit at
a place where you can view multiple scoreboards and go for the one that just has
ended the Red and Black zig zag, and then go for it.
Good luck and all the best!
