Martingale on Roulette: Can Doubling Down Beat the House Edge?

[marek1980]

Been trying Martingale on roulette for a while now. Doubling down after losses sounds solid on paper, but the house edge still bites. I stick to even-money bets like red/black. Longest streak was seven losses—table limits forced me to stop. It’s tempting to chase underdog odds, but discipline is key. Anyone tweak this system to handle rough runs?

Tried Martingale myself, and yeah, it feels bulletproof until a bad streak hits. Seven losses is rough—table limits are the real killer. I’ve had some luck tweaking it by setting a strict loss cap and mixing in smaller side bets on sports to offset roulette swings. Keeps the bankroll safer during cold runs. Anyone else blend strategies like this?
