Why do you people keep raking up these mathematically flawed strategies?

In this game you triple your prior stake after each loss.

i.e. you bet this many chips as losses mount:

2
6
18
54
168 (assuming that's within table limits)


So think of it as 4 (maybe 5) level stakes games (with different levels)

Every one should know that you lose playing level stakes at Roulette.

So you'll lose on each of the 4-5 levels.

Add up your individual losses to still get a loss!


If you still don't believe me then read celebrity mathematician Dr E O Thorp's proof:
