The Grand Martingale
is a progression betting system that
increases the bet sizing more
aggressively than the
traditional martingale, so that you
are you increasing your potential profit
as you increase your bet size.
In the Grand
Martingale, after a loss you double your
bet AND add one unit. So if you start
with a $5 bet (5$=one unit) and lose, then your next
bet would be $15 (2 x $5 + $5). If you
lost again, the next bet would be $35 (2
x $15 + $5). If you win the third bet,
then you are up $15
instead of only the $5 if you had played
the traditional martingale system.
Another way to explain it is:
Next Bet Size = ( last
bet * 2 ) + Grand Martingale Unit
The Grand Martingale Unit (GMU) is
usually just the first bet size but you
can actually make it whatever you want,
or switch the size of the GMU whenever
you want. So a more aggressive betting
system would increase the GMU as the
progression increases. A more
conservative Grand Martingale would
stagger the GMU so that it only comes
every second loss or becomes zero after
a certain point. The traditional
martingale is where the GMU is zero all
the way through.
The advantage to the Grand Martingale
is that you are increasing your
potential profit as you are increasing
your bet sizes. To players who find it
frustrating to be increasing the risk to
their bankroll while only chasing a
single unit profit will find the Grand
Martingale more suitable to their
gambling style.
You should consider the Grand
Martingale a general concept of
progression betting. In practice you can
be quite flexible with the Grand
Martingale. You can start with the Grand
Martingale in the early double ups but
stop after the bets become larger, or
vice versa. Also, players can mix the
Grand Martingale with other martingale
systems, like the capped martingale or the
dynamic martingale.
