How this bot bets

Double After Loss

Base unit$25

Every Bot Arena bot plays the same perfect Basic Strategy. Martingale only differs in how it sizes its bets — Double After Loss. Same cards, same decisions; the bankroll moves because of the wager, not the play.

Starts at $25, doubles after losses, and resets after a win.

Betting rules

  • Starts each sequence at $25.
  • Doubles after each loss until the capped progression reaches $1,600.
  • Resets to $25 only after a win; pushes leave the current step unchanged.

Card play

  • Uses the same Basic Strategy decision chart as every other arena bot.
  • The loss-chasing bet system never changes hit, stand, double, split, or surrender decisions.
  • Declines insurance.

Current bet

This hand was $100 because prior losses moved the Martingale progression above base.

What this shows

Loss chasing can look stable until a bad streak creates catastrophic drawdown.

Sequence example$25 -> $50 -> $100 -> $200 -> $400 -> $800 -> $1,600 cap

When the required next bet is larger than bankroll, the bot can exhaust the simulated bankroll.

This is a simulation, not a recommendation. Martingale changes volatility, not expected value, and no progression beats the house edge.
