The Martingale strategy is essentially a high-speed lane to bankruptcy for those who mistake exponential risk for a mathematical loophole. This video serves as a necessary reality check that no betting pattern can overcome a structural house edge.

I Tried To Beat The Casino..
Added:I tried to beat the casino. Will be the title of this video, but what I actually mean by that, I'm going to try and turn this 10 grand into 15 grand by deploying a few basic strategies. The first one, we're starting every bet with a base of 200 with a Martingale condition. Every time we lose, we have to double up until we win. Once we win, we reset it back down to 200. As you can see, this is not going to take many attempts for us to wipe this out entirely. The second one, we have to play with the lowest house edge. Blackjack being at the very top of that list. We've then got baccarat and there's a few other games which will add with 1% house edge or less. I'm thinking of dice. We just need to beat the casino for one video, one session, probably 20 minutes max, maybe 10. I'm on Blackjack.
Here we go. 200 down, that is a terrible start. I saw the insurance option right away. That's never a good sign. No insurance. We have to maximize our odds and he doesn't have it, thankfully. Hit.
That's not much better. Again.
18. Yeah, it's just that he has an ace.
Stand.
I'll take a push. I'll definitely take a push. Let's go again. Let me pull this out, by the way. Oh, the first double of the video. Every double and split we have to take because they're advantageous hands. That's in.
16 is bad. 17's even more frustrating because he was one off a 16. At that point, just pull a 10. Right, that's a loss technically. It's a loss of 400, but the base was still 200. So, for that reason, we'll now do 400 cuz it's all based off the base.
14 is a hit. No, it's not. One of my mistakes have been made. Guys, I play a lot of Blackjack. I clicked that without even thinking. A 12 to a two is a hit.
All right, well, we're in for 800 now.
We've just stopped the recording. 10 to 8. Okay, that's thankfully a comfortable hand. Stand. [music] 16.
Oh man, this is going to be a rough one.
Here we go. We didn't lose as a push.
As a hit.
21? I thought he was going to do it. I thought he was going to pull a 21. He pulled 11. All right, we're good for now. I'm going to back out. We'll come back. A rocky start to this video would be an understatement. For that reason, I'm going to back her out just to calm down a bit. Okay, 204 on player. This is another game with a very low house edge.
Beautiful. We're starting out with a win. That's something Blackjack couldn't do unfortunately. Let's go again. 204.
Nine is great. Give me a 10.
He has a one though.
Beautiful. Wow.
Rough start, but turning things around for now. He has an eight. Going to be hard to beat that. Here we go. The first double up on Baccarat. Two acts. Let's go.
Zero to a four. Dangerous.
800 is in. Sticking with player. Six is not bad. What does he have? A two and we won thankfully. 600. I've got an idea. A very quick stop on dice. This game has a 1% house edge. We're doing 25%. I'm just giving this three attempts. If we lose, we go up. We win, we go back to our base. If I lose three times in a row, I'm then going to Blackjack because if I lose three times in a row, we'll be doing a $1,600 for the fourth. 200's in.
Oh man, of course it's on roll under.
Okay, 400's in.
And the final one. This does pay out two grand if we get it. That's in. And it's in. It's not a huge win, but I'm going for a 15 grand, around that, 16 grand total in this video. Because we won, I'm going to go again.
400.
3.3K. I'm going to back out. We're going to have a fun session on Blackjack.
Well, I I What can I say? What a turn of events, man. We messed up at the beginning. I accidentally hit the 14, which I shouldn't have done, and that was supposed to be a stand. Completely turned it around with those dice bets.
Now, we're back on Blackjack. Let's see how this is moving. I'm looking for some doubles or some splits. I guess we got our double, but not the one I was looking for. Here we go. 400's in.
And Oh, that's a double. That's an $800 double. Beautiful. Can we pull this off?
He has a seven. I feel confident here.
Three to a one and 20 2018. He had an ace. Of course, he did. When do we get aces? 200's in.
Five to a 15 to a 10 is a hit.
400's in again. Give me a double. Ask and you shall receive. Two of five as well. That's in.
16 Dangerous 16 still into a 26. Wow, we're very close to my goal of 15k. I'm I'm genuinely considering going for the 20. Let me back out first of all. I've got to give credit to dice. It has done most of the legwork in this video. How much are we up on? Yeah, 2.7 on just dice. Right. Two of four on player.
Interesting. Very interesting. Wow, okay. Three 10's again. Oh, that was meant to be a 400.
That's a win, but we we need to go for a 400 because I made a mistake.
Hopefully, this doesn't end up costing us. Nine Great. Beautiful.
Okay. We've made up for that mistake with two wins. I'm up 5k in this video.
Let me try something. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm doing 200, same thing.
I'm doubling up every loss. I'm going for a 3x multi. Now, that does not seem too difficult, but the exact same thing as dice. We lose three times in a row, we're going to Blackjack. Thankfully, we've we've got some ammunition now.
First one's in.
Second one is in.
and the third final one is now in.
It wasn't even close though, not even a 2x. 1,600 on Blackjack. Now, I don't want to double or split because we're really risking profit for this video if that comes up. Let's see how it goes.
That's in. 928, it's a 15. Right, um this video could potentially take a turn for the worse over the next couple of minutes or next 60 seconds realistically. It just depends if I can pull off something here. That's in. 23 All right, 3.2. I am going to go to This is more than all the profit. Um Baccarat or Blackjack is the question. I don't want to split. I don't want to split. I don't want to double. I'm going to do it on Baccarat. This was always a possibility when recording this video.
I'm fully aware of that and I've recorded a video like this in the past.
Thankfully, it worked out. There is huge upside if it does work out.
That all comes to this hand right here.
3,200 on player. This is a game I don't even play much. I don't have a whole lot of faith, but I feel more comfortable knowing that I do not have to split or double this. That's in. No, it's not.
That's in. Oh, it's hard. It's a hard click this one. That's in.
10 Three's bad. Nine You're kidding. Oh my goodness, double nines. Now, I should I really should do this next one for six and a half grand here because I I can't even split or double it if I wanted to. But I just don't have faith in it. I'm going to Blackjack. Well, this This might be a short video with with such a great start. Oh wait. Ah, no. I I'm thinking about going to dice, but I Yeah, it's I can't start from 200. We're doing Martingale. It's It's 6.4. There's no way around it for this video. Um yeah, let's just do it. This is probably the biggest Blackjack hand I've done in a few months. I really don't go crazy on here. Here we go, man. This is close to 50/50. I just need an ace or 10 to start. If I can get If I can just get that, I'm going to feel very confident about this.
3 2 What do I have left? I can't Yeah, okay. This is it. 3 2 1 that's in.
7 2 a Oh my goodness, it's a double. I can't do it. I don't have the money to do it.
And I'm somewhat glad about that. I don't want to I don't want to risk 13 grand on one hand. [music] It's a It's a good hand.
As of right now, it's a good hand. He has a two, which is a bit of a dangerous card, but if I can pull off a 10 here, or even better an ace, I'm going to feel confident with that, too. I just need to get a high card here.
3 2 1 That's in. I 13, you're joking. 13 to a two is also a stand, by the way. I don't know what we're going to do. I cannot I can't even do I'm going to have to go to dice and hope for a miracle. There's nothing else I can do. Well, it's a stand. It's decision has been made. This is by the book a stand. We He's got a two. If he had a five or a six, maybe. Stand's in. 5 12 Not even surprised. Not even surprised.
I'm going to dice. There There is nothing that I can do to have to do a 12K bet. I don't have 12K in Bitcoin as of right now. 25% I could just go all in with this, or I could start from 200 again. I'm going to do this and double up every time and just hope for a very very lucky streak of wins. It's unlikely, I'm going to be honest, but here we go.
It's a good start. Again.
400's in. This is not going to last long.
800 Oh, that's a good win, to be fair. We're up That's half back. 200 again.
400's in.
And here for for the big one, 800's in.
It's gone under and 1600. This is about to be If I don't hit this, the video is pretty much over.
Yeah, it keeps on going under. Three unders in a row. All right, 1800 is in.
Well, um that didn't work.
