Reverse Martingale (Paroli)

Increase bet after wins, decrease after losses to ride winning streaks

Definition

The Reverse Martingale (also called Paroli system) is the opposite of Martingale - you increase your bet after wins and return to your base bet after losses. This system aims to capitalize on winning streaks while minimizing losses during losing streaks. It's less risky than traditional Martingale because you're 'betting with house money' during win streaks rather than chasing losses with your own capital.

Example

Round 1: Bet $10 (win, +$10). Round 2: Bet $20 (win, +$30 total). Round 3: Bet $40 (win, +$70 total). Round 4: Bet $80 (loss, +$60 net). Reset to $10. You only risk your original $10 per streak attempt.

💡Strategy Tip

Set a streak limit (e.g., 3-4 wins) before resetting to base bet. This locks in profits before an inevitable loss wipes out your win streak gains. More sustainable than regular Martingale.
