Why is it that so many people think that positive progressive betting and the Martingale system are one and the same? Not. I'm no longer a progressive player but I wonder why people automatically think Martingale when someone talks about positive progressions.

Martingale is a negative progression, right?

Hi Sonny-
I just don't see the comparison say in a progressive bet where you increase your bet by 50% after a win and dropping back to your basic unit bet after a loss,and the Martingale which says to double your bet after each loss.
Pretty much apples and oranges isn't it?

Same thing in different directions, if you ask me.

Apples come in different sizes and different colors, but they’re all basically the same thing. Positive/negative progressions are still progression systems. Whether it’s Martingale, Fibonacci, D’Alembert, Contra-D’Alembert, Oscar’s Grind, or whatever, the technique is the same. Some systems are more volatile than others, but the general principles are the same.

That volatility can be very useful, because the rate at which you give action action is related to your prior results. I love progressions for clearing bonuses.
