Poll
Question: Have you ever employed the Martingale system or a similar variant at any point in your life?
Yes
No
If yes, vote again for the statement that is most relevant....
I heard about it, tried it, it cost me a lot of money
I came up with it myself, thought I was invincible and it nearly ruined me
It was a bit of fun
I still use this system, or something similar
If you've voted no, answer one of these........
I have gambled with other systems, but not with the Martingale (or anything similar)
I either never gambled, or never employed any structured betting system when I did

FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   This is a proven winning system going back to the 60s so i doubt your pal invented it.

The guy called it the reverse labouche system i think, I read the book he wrote on it some years later after he was barred from every major casino in Europe but i cant find it now and people think i'm crazy, drunk or lying when i tell them about it, I concede that at any given time i'm drunk,crazy or lying but i'm telling the truth this time!!

The guy had teams of players working on a table and adopting this system they followed "progressions" instead of chasing them, increasing their bets in uneven increments according to his mathematical convoluted system, essentially he was trying to make the casino play against his team that had taken over a whole table.

He said he always declared to the management that he had a system and was always welcomed until he ruined casino after casino.

The book was called "Breaking the bank" I found it credible because it was more a an autobiography than a mathematical exposition.

I cant remember exactly what the mathematics entailed because i lost the book ages ago but i'm going to investigate.

IT WORKS!!! IT'S PROVEN!!!!!!


Sounds like you've got a bit mixed up but are referring to the MIT team

they played ROULETTE in the 60s did they?

Am I thinking of the same mob, wrote a book called the Utopian Casino? Basically bought a roulette table and build electronic doo-dahs that would predict which segment the ball would land in from timings taken mid-spin. Had a few runs but bailed out in the end.

Are you thinking about the Easern European mob from a few months back, they did alright didnt they untill they got nicked?

Cant remember whether or not they got a not guilty though, I think it was a civil action in the end and they had to pay the dough back but i'm not sure.

Nah, same idea though, the MIT lot had foot-tappers and buzzers strapped to their bodies whereas they're using lazers and whatnot these days. Their book was a good read though.
