Yes, Kenbo, even Diane as you knew
"Uncomfortable " was the wrong word, ironic better?

Just for clarity:
The martingale strategy involves doubling up on losing bets and reducing winning bets by half. It is essentially a strategy that promotes a loss-averse mentality that tries to improve the odds of breaking even, but also increases the chances of severe and quick losses.

This thread has nothing to do with that strategy (also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy?) This thread is basically suggesting dutching bets, but not in a good way. It is not arbing as not guaranteeing a profit.

I find it very difficult to stick to, but level stakes betting is always the most profitable for me. For several years in the 80's I ran racing competitions, where 20 competitors provided one bet a day for a month at a time. I used to analyse all the results and came to the conclusion the most profitable price range was evens-15/8 followed by 2/1-9-2 and then 5-1-17/2. Odds on and 8/1 and bigger yielded the worst returns. The other big factor was the state of the ground, GF for sustained periods on the flat, everybody was more successful.

Anyway I'm bailing out of this nonsense thread. GL with the bets though.

Increasing one's stake after a loss, whatever the amount , is a mug's game, you know it, I know it.
If you can't, over time , show a profit with same stake betting, then you're obviously doing something wrong.
Stake amount  must be dictated by profit & loss.

That's my view.
FWIW.
