if you were betting on something that consistently had 45% chance of winning and 55% chance of losing..

you have 1 million dollars and bet $100. whenever you win, you keep betting $100. whenever you lose, you keep doubling your bet so you maintain the last highest net profit.

the probability of you making a net profit after 1000 games is about 89%. and the profit you make will most likely (90%+) be atleast 43000

why arent you doing this?

Why don't you play a game in life where the odds are in your favour? For example a job.

This is called the Martingale strategy, and it doesn't work. The probability that you will lose n times in a row is non-zero, and that's where you lose all your money.

This + table limits

It's called martingaling and all casinos set limits on what you can bet, effectively banning the betting strategy. You think they're stupid and you're a genius for thinking this up? KYS pleb.

Why aren't you doing this op ? I actually have a phd in math and it works indeed. So go do it, and be sure to take all your savings to the casino

>89% chance of winning
That's true
>90%(*89%) chance to earn 40k
Also true

But you forgot to mention that you have 11% chance to lose 1 million dollars.
If you do this another 10 times you're more likely to lose 1 million than earn 400k. As you can see. It doesn't make sense as a long term strategy. Anything with a probability * profit ratio less than half makes no sense in the long run
>>
Ok idiot. Might wanna post this as a lifehack on youtube and cash out with the ad revenue instead, im sure there are bigger morons than OP.
>>
A better way to do this is to bet people that you can come out with a 4% profit after 1000 games for 10% of your cash stack. Now THAT would be a viable long term strategy
>>
Can confirm this doesn't work even with 50/50 chances.

you have a 89% chance for a small profit, and a 11% chance of losing it all

the expected value is negative and exactly the same as if you made a single bet
