Doubling vs. Constant Bets as Strategies for Gambling
... to a system gambler whether their play is stretched out over many years, or concentrated into a single weekend. A larger house limit resulted in greater long-term losses because more money was risked. Unless there is no house limit, the player using a doubling strategy will eventually lose; if howev ...
