    Martingale System - Soccer Betting

    So we all have heard about the Martingale system. It is a system that each time you lose, you double your betting.

    For example 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.... and so on... until you win and you start again from the beginning. This system has two mayor drawbacks.

    1. You dont have infinite money so you can continue betting always if you are lossing continiusly (8-9 times in a row).

    2. If you play it in a casino roulete the odds are not 50-50 (betting on black/red) as you might think. The outcome is always cooked (you can lose 12 times continiusly which by all means its really unluck).

    While I always knew that this system is not going to work in a Casino (cause it is not playing fair)... I think this system might work on soccer betting. In soccer the booker cant steal you by changing the outcome.

    So what I am thinking is finding a particular bet in soccer where tha odds are near 50-50 and the bet being x2.00 at least.

    Do you have any ideas of a good bet like this? I was thinking about Odd or Even number of goals.

    Tell me you opinion what do you think? I was also thinking about over - under too. Do you have any other suggestion?

    Try paper trial on NBA O/U and be ready to lose 20 in a row. After these conditions are ok , be ready to win 1$ after betting 300$. Sexy ?

    For 50-50 chance, the odds will be 1.91, not 2.00. 2.00 odds are the underdog in a 2 way market.

    I've tried this in soccer betting on overs. What I did was I took teams that have very high probability of going over 1.5, in current form and overall + aprox. the same probability when these two teams met h2h. Now obviously betting the over 1.5 is at very low odds so I took the over 0.5/0.75 1st half and if unsuccessful then I took the over 1.5 at half time, martingale style. You can even take a 3rd martingale bet in the 70th min if the match is still 0-0.

    Result? I'm going to be cocky and say that this system should generate profit but I didn't put enough volume in testing it and picked teams that should not be part of the system i.e: friendlies, champions league games, or any games that either features teams that never met or lack the usual motivation that we could say we find in normal leagues.

    I would give it a second chance now that the season has started but I'm on an awful losing spree and lack motivation.
