Yup, this is the reason that the Martingale strategy for Blackjack won't work.
Not only is it possible to lose 7 times in a row, it happens far more frequently than one might think
Well and sometimes you do everything WRONG and still win!
let's see what happens
I'll actually talk about this tonight ![:]](https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/wp-content/uploads/wpforo/emoticons/pokerstrategy-legacy/basics/pleased.gif ":]")

That is because 7 is a lucky number, duh

Most people, if not all, thoroughly misunderstand the term "long-term". For them, it's about a few weeks of play.
I consider my lifetime the long-term.
At this moment I just want to cry, this game can be so brutal

Kinda like the "Cash out" feature on Pokerstars bcz of it, no bad beats if you use it
