Years ago I'd double or nothing plus $5 for a "free" lunch. I'd immediately stop after getting ahead +$5. It worked for about two weeks and I finally hit the table bet limit and lost. Lost 5 times in a row for a total about roughly $1200. At the time that was a months pay for me.

I heard of some dealers on their break at a casino who tossed $25 onto a Baccarat bet. When they lost, they tried to win it back with Martingale.

Ended up losing $25,000 in about ten minutes.

Yeah I didn't run the math analysis too far. Ultimately I stood to win $100, for every $1,200 lost.

Well, there's a reason casinos stay in business, and it sure isn't because patrons walk out with their money.
