I put this in the sports betting section because that is the kind of betting I'm most interested in and it can be used there by carefully choosing the bets and their odds
a bettor could choose money line odds with a positive return or slightly negative odds for the early steps and there would still be a net win but it would be less than $10
I am not claiming this is a winning system - only that it's pretty interesting - and more fun than a traditional marty
here are the steps based on the original bet being $10.00 - it's 9 step marty - yes, I know that makes the risk high but there should be many, many wins before losing 9 in a row
10 10 40 80 160 320 640 1280 2560______________the total risk is $5100 - $10 less than the total risk of a traditional marty doubling every time during 9 steps
note that on the 2nd step a win will just break you even - it won't get you ahead
all of the other steps from the 3rd step on will get you a 2 unit win instead of a one unit win ($20. win instead of a $10 win)
I think I might be able to go the entire rest of my life without losing 9 in a row______
_____ but I might croak when I'm well down - that's okay - I won't need the money then______
this could be great to get bonuses, boosts and free play too
here's a quick analysis based on betting an even chance with no vig (yes, I know it's difficult to get that but this is just an example):
25% of the time you will lose the first step and win the 2nd step so compared to a traditional marty you will only break even instead of winning $10
50% of the time you will win the first bet
25% of the rest of the time you will win 2 units - $20 instead of $10 - any win from the 3rd step on - you would win $20 instead of the $10 if you used a traditional marty
and if you're good at sports betting it would probably take you a very long time to crash and burn and hopefully by that time you will have made more than $5100
