The chances of doubling a sum of money with the Martingale betting system in which the chances of a single bet being won are 50%, are 1 / e, ie ~ 37%. It is obvious that you better bet the whole amount on a single bet with 50/50 chances.
Spot a bias on ( European)roulette wheel, 30 blacks in a row ( which happens more often if you play for long enough) , put your martingale on a red and you get yourself 9 more chances to double or burst .... bell 🛎 curves and p values working in your favour.
Every trading plan/ staking plan has got the market for it .
Not really , you strike like a preditor. Watch a lioness or a leopard hunt.

Remove the zero :green from the equation , then assume black / red. Have equal probabilities .Trader724 wrote: ↑Thu May 20, 2021 3:20 amPrior outcomes in a series of events doesn't affect the probability of a future outcome if the events in question are independent and identically distributed. 30 blacks in a row is not a bias.
From there deduct your null hypothesis ... it is then highly unlikely to get 36 blacks in a row and if you spot that , it’s an absolute outlier .. how is that not bias .
How else would the government officials that regulate casinos detect a false hand / croupier in the casinos .
It is also in the interest of the casino owners to get it corrected .
It’s all about where your results are in the bell curve and when you decide to entertain yourself.

The outcomes are either independent, or there is a bias.
If they are independent then the chance of getting a red doesn't change.
If there's a bias, then you're taking a neg EV bet by backing red.
Given enough time everything that can happen will happen no matter how unlikely it is. Even after a series of 1000 blacks in a row, on the next spin the chances on black are still 50%.decomez6 wrote: ↑Thu May 20, 2021 4:08 amRemove the zero :green from the equation , then assume black / red.

Have you tried Penney's game at the roulette?
Yep if it's biased towards blacks you should bet on black not red. But still not martingale style.Anbell wrote: ↑Thu May 20, 2021 4:22 amdecomez6 wrote: ↑Thu May 20, 2021 4:08 amRemove the zero :green from the equation , then assume black / red. Have equal probabilities .

But I argue from a point of vantage. Is there any time when the cards are stack in your favour ?
Of course.
You are not martingaling the EV, ( which is absolutely independent) .. it’s the prevailing conditions , in short trading what you see , something like order flow.. top range, resistance . Support, vwap , correlation etc.
When the conditions are right , the odds are in your favour but that doesn’t change the expected value of any price movement outcome .
As you say given time , everything that must happen will happen. Now let’s assume that the fill rate is 100% , liquidity 100% backers and layers at equal amounts , this will still not stop prices stalling and overshooting at crossover points. FOMO and STOP loss hunts, will ensure that price movement is biased towards one way or another and also the pay offs are well structured to favour the layer than the backer .
Now if you took red on roulette table and I took black , the only winner is the house/ exchange.. due to commission/ house edge .. but if one of us took a strategically advantageous position at a crossover point ..things change . But the expected values remain the same.
Hope that makes sense.

If you put an antelope and leopard on level playing grounds, the leopard has no chance . It will know that he EV. of it going hungry that night is as good as guaranteed.hence you trade what you see , the context of an event cannot be ruled out .what is happening on the ground is equally important from and it does alter what should happen under fair conditions.
