“I have a system” - especially when preceded by “Don’t worry about the money for the mortgage payment” when someone is withdrawing money from an ATM or against their casino credit. A close second is, “I lost again? Double the bet again!” (especially when followed by, “What do you mean, you won’t raise the maximum bet for me?” - foiling such systems is one of the reasons tables have maximum bets in the first place) ---

Double the bet again!” (especially when followed by, “What do you mean, you won’t raise the maximum bet for me?” - foiling such systems is one of the reasons tables have maximum bets in the first place) Not that there’s any need to foil it - the martingale is a losing strategy in the first place. (In a fair game it’s a break-even strategy up to the point where you beggar yourself; if there’s a house edge, all the martingale does is magnify it.) ---
