Martingale: meaning in crash games
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
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
10, 20, 40, 80… after four losses, the fifth bet is $160.
