Re: martingale problem with a friend If he has the internet refer him to this link http://www.punterslounge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20302 It might teach him a thing or two. For him to do the martingale properly, the odds needed will have to 2.0 or above and a losing run with such odds is going to occur at some point. Do you know how many bets he can make before going broke? Martingale is bad.:spank
