Bahgwan,
I don't know how you do your calculations, but I have to argue this point.
Firstly,
It might be an oversight on my behalf at this stage, so apologies in advance.
However,
Have you done a running total of all the 26 bets, assuming one gets 26 losses in a row, then what is the running total ? and what is the minimum divs to break even to the nearest zero?

according to my calculations, by the time you get to bet 8, you have paid $8.00 in bets.
(by using a running total)
If then bet 9 is still 1 unit ($1.00),then how can you possibly claim profit on a div paying anything less than $9.00 ?
