2-Player Martingale System on Same Roulette Table

Hello there, I am a long time observer but first time poster on these forums. I have a thought/theory that you may be interested in – essentially building on the martingale system. Please, hear me out...

To paint the picture: Two players are sat with laptops in front of a live roulette show on TV for example. Both players agree to share profits and losses. 1 Person Plays the martingale system on red in live roulette normally until they earn £100 then stop. However, as we all know, this is not by any means always the case. If/when they encounter a run of say, 6 blacks in a row, you need to say to yourself, “I am prepared to take a small(ish) loss to prevent a possible large run/very large overall loss (this being at the cost of giving up the possibility of gaining an overall profit on the next spin)”, then it is possible to mitigate the loss on the 5^th spin. >>>>>> Player 1 continues playing red in his run on the next spin, but Player 2 now bets a sum (relative to your potential loss) on black on the same spin, this will soften the blow as it were if you lose, you will still lose money in this game/run whatever the outcome (red or black), but this loss will be at least half it would have been, due to Player 2 winning. Now, plainly it would be silly if you had to play this tactic every time, as then every time you play in theory, you would lose, but odds would state that this occurrence of 5 in a row is very unlikely, particularly this occuring again twice in a row, and almost impossible three times in a row, (which you now should be able to afford by doing this), so the point is you will not need to follow this every time. In theory, it is still likely the Martingale System will work on the next go etc. So the next round, if you lost in the last run, just try and make more than what you lost on the last run. Remember, following this is a cautionary measure; most times you should win using standard martingale. It may be worth (if you are having to do the run again from this cautionary measure), as the odds are so much in your favour now, to increase the bets slightly in this run. Again, it is possible that you will get unlucky getting the run again, and again, but following this route means that this would not be a disaster like it usually is and the odds are, of course, still largely in your favour to win on the next set of spins. Playing live roulette should dismiss the whole theory that the computer is trying to cheat you. And as always, the trick is to get out once you have made a reasonable profit. A simple example:

Player 1: Plays Red: £5 = LOSS Player 1: Plays Red: £10 = LOSS Player 1: Plays Red: £30 = LOSS

***PLAYER 1 NOW STATES THAT PLAYER 2 SHOULD BET ON BLACK TO SOFTEN BLOW***

Player 1: Still Plays Red: £90 = LOSS Player 2: Plays Black: £90 = WIN

Total Profit/Loss: Player 1: Loss of £135 Player 2: Profit of £90 Total = £45 loss

Note:- If on that same spin there was the opposite outcome, i.e. Red did come up, the total result would be the same: Player 1: Won = £45 up Player 2: Lost = £90 down Total: £45 loss *This is of course just a small, simple example, with lower bets and more spins you are obviously decreasing your chances of losing. Now although the above sounds like you are losing either way, essentially you are possibly preventing the ongoing losing streak and devastating loss you would encounter following the standard Martingale system. The idea is that on the next run of spins, the Martingale System will play as it should, making you a steady profit until you recoup the loss you have just made, and even if it doesn't play as it should, however unlikely this is, it is still not a disaster. Anyone who has played the Martingale with real money or in simulation will tell you that these runs of reds or blacks etc. are not as unlikely as you think – but in this system, we are simply understanding that you will not get a run of the same outcome regularly – i.e. more than you don't encounter runs of 5 or 6 of the same outcome - if this is correct – you should make a profit.

I would be happy to hear your thoughts and of course good luck to all.

Re: 2-Player Martingale System i think you got muddled up mate. read what you posted again. i dont know if its me who has read it wrong. but. you have a loss of £45 so far. putting £90 on red and £90 on black will do nothing. they cancel each other out. and your even risking that £180 if 0 comes out. its alot safer to stop betting. as even if you put £100000 on red and £100000 on black you would allways have that £45 loss. so if you do as you say you will be risking £180 and it will not help at all. before you put the bet on you have a loss of £45 after you put the bet on and one of them wins you will still have a loss of £45
