2huskys Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Even money favourites can mean higher variance and streaks of a lot of losses in a row. However what about doing the martingale on favourite bets that are more likely? Obviously you have to increase your bets more though but would the variance and losing streaks be less severe. The return will also be smaller as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter of your initial stake U should know that for the 5.bet U ll need 125 times higher stake than initial was. And that is just for miserable profit :puke For @1.20 favorite winner U ll need 625 times higher stake than initial, etc ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
