The Martingale is a betting strategy that originated in 18th-century France and gained popularity there. The core idea of this strategy is to increase the bet amount after consecutive losses, to recover previous losses when a win eventually occurs.

Assume you are using the Martingale strategy in a gambling game where you can bet on heads or tails, and each bet amount is the same.
Initially, you bet 1 unit (e.g., $1).
If you win (e.g., the coin lands on heads), you continue to bet 1 unit in the next round.
If you lose (e.g., the coin lands on tails), you increase your next bet according to the Martingale strategy. If you decide to double, you bet 2 units in the next round.
If you lose again, you double your next bet again, so you bet 4 units in the following round.
This process continues until you win, and then you return to the initial bet amount of 1 unit. The goal of the Martingale strategy is to recover previous losses by winning.
The Martingale strategy is also widely applied in investment fields, such as with Tesla stocks.
During this period, executing the Martingale strategy would involve increasing investment after losses at the marked points👇:
Unlimited Funds: Ensuring the ability to cover continuously increasing investments to avoid bankruptcy, as limited funds could lead to financial difficulties with consecutive losses.
No Malicious Behavior: Ensuring a safe and transparent environment to avoid fraud or manipulation. Even with a perfect strategy and sufficient funds, success is unattainable if affected by fraudulent activities.
Sufficient Market Size: Participating in a market with adequate capacity to ensure smooth buying and selling. Without a sufficiently large market, profitability is difficult regardless of strategy quality.
