The Martingale Betting Problem

Summary The Martingale Betting system claims that by doubling your wager after each loss, no matter how many times they lose in a row, a gambler is guaranteed to eventually win big. It's considered foolproof, and mathematically it is... until it isn't. With the aid of a faithful blackjack-dealing robot friend, Kevin puts this 18th-century France gambling strategy to the test. How does expected value play a role? What about exponential growth? Here's the real question: Does it actually work!?
