Martingale Negative Progression Betting System

The Martingale system is the oldest betting system. It's risky and virtually useless in todays casinos. Spread of Martingale systems was one of the original reasons the casinos decided to implement table limits as the casinos seriously feared for their well being back in the old good days. Betting limits make Martingale systems effectively pointless.

Originally intended for games in the long run, this strategy is stripped of its glory today because the table limits prevent using it for any prolonged period of time.
