Abstract

A generalized martingale betting strategy is analyzed for which bets are increased by a factor of $m \geq 1$ after each loss, but return to the initial bet amount after each win. The average amount bet and the average final fortune are derived for sequences of $n$ bets, for the number of bets $T$ that results in the first win, and for $\min (T,\;n)$.
