martingale
Betting doubling strategy
A martingale is a strap on a horse's harness running from the noseband or reins to the girth, preventing the horse from throwing its head back.
In gambling, a martingale is a betting system where you double your wager after each loss, theoretically recovering all losses with one win—though in practice often leading to ruin when losing streaks exceed bankroll or table limits.
