betting strategy
Gambler's systematic method
A betting strategy is a systematic approach to wagering designed to manage risk or maximize returns.
Some strategies adjust bet sizes based on previous outcomes: the Martingale system doubles bets after losses, while others increase stakes after wins.
His betting strategy was to never wager more than he could afford to lose.
Most strategies promise more than they deliver—no system overcomes the house edge in the long run.
