fair warning, alcohol has been involved. I played some bitcoin blackjack tonight (where I occasionally dabble), playing a modified/delayed martingale where I bet the minimum until i have about 3 accumulated losses before I start doubling my bet.
From a beginning bet of .001 bitcoin (22 cents USD), I found myself with a 9v5 at a bet of .256 out ($59.00 USD), 7 losses since my first step up(I believe it included a double step up due to a lost double down). I correctly doubled. TO my delight, I saw the dealer bust.
Due to the martingale + double effect, I'm up $59 on the ~.22 martingale strategy.
Hazaa! Score one for the irrational!

HA! Well played. Hey, it is only irrational if it doesn't work!

He turns tears into joy
Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by
