Lol. Read my post again. We start with a $10 bet, and every time we win we subtract $10 from the bet (unless the bet is $10). Every time we lose we add $10.

The first 18 bets are all worth $10, so profit +180.
The next 19 all lose, with each loss being worth $10 more than the last.
You should do the maths again.

Look, just drop it. Visit those websites I posted. Or, you can continue to think that you are smarter than everyone else, including all the casino's and mathematicians who have studied the probabilities/maths of gambling.
