In this example, the probability of losing the entire bankroll and being unable to continue the martingale is equal to the probability of 6 consecutive losses: (10/19) 6 = 2.1256%. The probability of winning is equal to 1 minus the probability of losing 6 times: 1 − (10/19) 6 = 97.8744%. The expected amount won is (1 × 0.978744) = 0.978744.
