this is part 2 from
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/craps/25403-double-1-000-into-2-000/

the poll is for fun like the other was
some will be surprised of course (like me!)
<<<>>>
poll question
is
what is the chance to
turn $1000 into $2000 betting the pass line using the Marty betting system.
<<<>>>
the original turn $1000 into $2000 flat betting the pass line
turned out to be very boring
now to add more excitement

the Marty!
we all love Marty
hehe

1st bet = $10 on the pass line
when lose bet $20 or double the last losing bet
no odds... huh
comps will be better than flat betting
when win a bet, go back to basic $10 bet

if can not bet double the last losing bet
bet it ALL!
Yahoo Yahoo!!

maybe it takes less time too (1+1)
and more can win more money
with Marty!

What if you jump from $10 loss to $100 bet? Then from $100 bet to $300 bet, assuming loss again. Then from $300 bet to $800 bet? You lost 100+300+800, jhit happens. Start over, try that a gazillion times or so. I would do it but I don't know how ;-( cheers, just 2F...
Youuuuuu MIGHT be a 'rascal' if.......(nevermind ;-)...2F

If my equation solver is working properly, I get 45.620221%, or about 1 in 2.192.

the info I do have (due have) on the Marty for this poll is small but I like the average number of rolls to complete the experiment-challenge. looks to be abouts 546 rolls

If Beginning new session Then
bankroll = 1000 :
autotake full odds = false
EndIf

If passline loses Then
Bet last passline * 2 on passline
ElseIf comeout roll Then
Bet $10 on passline
EndIf

If bankroll < 10 Or bankroll >= 2000 Then
start new session
EndIf

Oncedear rule of thumb applies very well indeed to low house edge, even money bets using Marty with a small base unit.

P=Initial Bankroll/(Target Profit+Initial Bankroll) . Approx.
P=1000/(1000+1000)
P=50%
1 in 2 (and a bit for house edge)

FAR FAR BETTER than 1 in 18 !!!!!!

I was going to add my calculation from Excel (I think I lost it in a different folder, in other words I lost it!)
so as I have yet to convert Excel to online R use
*****
my sim data (in Excel) shows
Went Bust: 54.16200%
Hit Target: 45.83800% <<< 1 in 2.18
avg bet = $36.17

take that average bet and make it $40
flat betting $40 now shows this (remember 0 odds) (turning 25 units into 50)
> gambler.ruin(25,25, 244/495, "Craps pass line 0x odds")
[1] "Craps pass line 0x odds. Stake:25, Target:50"
[1] "p(goal):0.330236, p(ruin):0.669764"

https://sites.google.com/view/krapstuff/risk-of-ruin
section 2r.

p(goal):0.330236 is about 1 in 3 on average
much better (but expected)
*****
how does this compare to 100 units into 200 units
with the free odds bet?

well, I used some R code (and a Markov chain solution)
(will post that code online as soon as it is cleaned up)
It was my 1st attempt long ago.
I do way better now

this shows why Marty has been around for a long time
and keeps on being discovered
even to this day!

I am guessing that in truth
the Marty does have a place in the sun!

I'll never forget the day I invented it. Made a paper profit of almost $1,000 playing Sic Bo. The next day, starting at $1 units, I was up $225 by lunch.
I simply couldn't believe no one had ever done this before. Of course, I gave it all back after lunch.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.
