Doubling your losses only works if 2 conditions are true:

1) You have an unlimited bankroll

2) You have a casino willing to to take an unlimited sized bet

Unfortunately, those 2 conditions are impossible. The house still has an edge.

If your starting bet is $25 look how fast your bets will have to grow.

----------------
1 25
2 50
3 100
4 200
5 400
6 800
7 1600
8 3200
9 6400
10 12800
11 25600
12 51200
13 102400
14 204800
15 409600
16 819200
17 1638400
18 3276800
19 6553600
20 13107200

And keep in mind.. you need to have $26,214,375 to make 20 bets!!

God forbid it takes 21 bets to win.. cuz then your bankroll will have to be $52 Million bucks.
