Anti-Martingale: meaning in crash games

Why it matters

It caps the money you risk per cycle while keeping some upside from streaks.

In practice

The key setting is the streak cap: how many wins in a row you let ride before banking. Two or three is common. Each extra step makes the pay-day bigger and rarer. See Anti-Martingale (Paroli).

Example

$10 at 2x wins $20; bet $20 next; reset after three wins.
