has been lost on the preceding stake; also, the sum so
risked; -- metaphorically derived from the bifurcation of
the martingale of a harness. Called also {Martingale
strategy}. Such a betting strategy does not change the
overall likelihood of winning, but in a short run it
increases the probability of winning a small sum,
balancing it against an increased probability of losing a
large sum. [Cant] --Thackeray.
