    I've been thinking about Martingaling baseball and here's why
    Eventually a team in baseball is going to lose a game, there is zero chance that a team goes 162 games undefeated, if you Martingale baseball wouldn't mathematically you have to win?

    If a team even wins 60% in baseball for the season it's a miracle, how can Martingale fail

    Baseball to me seems the only sport where Martingaling is a good idea

      If you got to do it do it with + lines...at least if you don't go bankrupt first when you win it will be for a profit.

          Paver, I noticed your avatar.

          Every time I see Robyn I get semi-rigid and horny. She has very nice breasts.

              Even the 97 win Rays had a 7 game losing streak last year.

              Assuming +100 MLs (which is RIDICULOUS, considering you'll be eating chalk regularly) and $100 bets...

              Game 1: Bet 100 (-100)
              Game 2: Bet 200 (-300)
              Game 3: Bet 400 (-700)
              Game 4: Bet 800 (-1500)
              Game 5: Bet 1600 (-3100)
              Game 6: Bet 3200 (-7300)
              Game 7: Bet 7400 (-14700)

              Hope you had the near 15k to bet game 8.

              And this was a 97 win team, AND usually worse than +100.

              Martingale never a good idea!

                Remember when the Oakland A's won like 20 something games in a row? that was a bad year for me.

                  Most money I've ever lost in a week was betting against the Texas Rangers when they won 15 in a row. I started going against around game 6 of the winning streak. Steve Buchele got me on the 12th game with a 3 HR in the ninth with 2 outs in the Kingdom. I finally gave up because Nolan Ryan was pitching the next day and he ended up getting shelled.

                  I still get nauseous thinking about it.
