Double After Loss
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 $50 because prior losses moved the Martingale progression above base.
What this shows
Loss chasing can look stable until a bad streak creates catastrophic drawdown.
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.
