Martingale strategy only works if you know the math, and are willing to take tiny, tiny victories.

You don't go 1:2 put it on Red or Black, you go on Green, and increase your bet only marginally, not doubling, to go along with those longer odds. That way, you never hit the table limit.

But you'll be winning basically minimum wage or less. But in theory, you COULD do it. Casino doesn't care if one person gets away with a couple bucks: Someone at the table encourages others to play too, who won't be as careful. You being there, and putting money on the table, increases the odds of others also coming there, and putting money on the table. They're making thousands if not more per hour, someone making 10 bucks an hour at most by gaming the gaming tables by participating and looking involved isn't a concern to them.

And this applies to the current political environment, too. Keep doubling down, and eventually, some marginal minor thing will go your way... While everything else is going someone else's.
