What is the Martingale strategy?
A progression that doubles the bet after each loss and resets after a win, so one win recovers previous losses plus one unit. Bets grow exponentially and long losing streaks bust the bankroll.

Why it matters
Quick KES example: KSh 100 cashed out at 3x returns KSh 300. Topping up? Start with M-Pesa deposits.
It’s the most-searched crash strategy and the one most likely to empty a bankroll.
In practice
At a 2x target the sequence of bets after losses is 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 units: six losses cost 63 units. Our simulator found that with 50 units, about half of 100-round sessions went bust. Read the full Martingale guide.
Example
100, 200, 400, 800… after four losses, the fifth bet is KSh 1,600.
