not 5000 , i have about one thousand , my dad has been playing for yrs and he doesn't throw the shoe results away he keeps them and takes it home ,
theres about 1 garbage bag full which is pretty heavy and has a few hundred in the lounge room.
"Depending on what your bankroll and table limits are, Martingale betting will give you a small win 99% of the time. Unfortunately, your loss in the 1% of times it doesn't work will be catastrophic - you will lose your entire bankroll or the table max, whichever is lower.
Most importantly, the amount you lose multiplied by the probability you will lose that is GREATER than the amount you win multiplied by the probability you will win"
i know this isn't the best reason but my dads friend has been using martingale for the past 3 months , he plays everyday leaving at 2 shoes or untill he makes his daily goal. his made about 16K starting with 3k , only 3 times using his play strategy he has had to bet on the 8th time, if he gets hits on the 8th he starts from initial bet due to table limit, but his able to make the 8th bet as he goes with a friend and makes a split bet. I guess you can say his lucky / or not that he gets hit on the 8th maybe once a month but he can make that back as he goes everyday, last month he got hit on the 8th , had to go back to scratch and start betting $30 ( which is his initial bet ) and he made it back in 4 days keep in mind he only plays 2 shoes or when he hits his limit , i told my dad he should play more shoes maybe 2 more, his quit his current job and does it part time and plays bacca full time now . Also his got enough bankroll when he does get hit , and the amount of shoes from my dads collection getting hit on the 8th is very rare like i said i only seen about 2-5 out of a thousand i literally spent weeks going through each one with different play methods , the only thing im worried about this could be his winning streak time and maybe later just gets hit over and over , i read stories like this which kinda makes it scary for me , your on a winning streak and bam u get into the bad one.
