The strategy had the gambler double the bet after every loss, so that the first win would recover all previous losses plus win a profit equal to the original bet. The martingale strategy can be applied not only to roulette, but also to such games as Baccarat with the 50/50 win chance. It’s true that this strategy can bankrupt a gambler quickly, but it also allows getting big winnings, like in this case.
As we can see from the player’s messages on the AskGamblers website, he acknowledged that certain strategy had been applied and the logs confirm that it was an intentional decision: “At no point in your gaming parameters did it state that pattern betting is not allowed.” Our Terms & Conditions prohibit customers from using any pattern betting, tactic or strategy at all. The pattern presented by us earlier in the logs confirms the fact that the player attempted to make use of the betting strategy, which isn’t allowed in most casinos as well.
We’d like to reiterate that we’ve been extremely loyal to the customer by issuing a full refund of his deposits in the amount of 15,878.00 CAD, while many casinos typically refund only the last deposit.
We will certainly improve our Terms & Conditions to better reflect the list of prohibited activities which will eventually help our customers better understand the rules. In any case, we will continue to monitor players’ activities to detect and prevent the usage of any betting pattern, tactic or strategy.
Thank you for taking your time to review this case.
