Why the loss streak limit is the only number that matters
Any progression that raises the bet after a loss, from a classic martingale to a softer 50% increase, wins small amounts often and loses a big amount rarely. The rare loss happens when the losing streak is longer than your balance can pay for. Your loss streak limit is that length. Know it before you press Auto Bet.
How to use the calculator
- Balance: what you are willing to risk in this session, not your whole wallet.
- Base bet: the first bet of the progression.
- Win chance: the dice chance you play. Changing it fills in the minimum recommended increase on loss automatically.
- Increase on loss: the % Stake's Auto Bet adds to the bet after a loss.
- Multiply every: apply the increase only every N losses (1 = every loss).
How often do losing streaks happen on Stake dice?
The table below shows the probability of seeing at least one losing streak of the given length at 49.5% win chance (50.5% loss chance), computed exactly with a Markov chain, not estimated.
| Streak | in 100 rolls | in 1,000 rolls | in 10,000 rolls | in 100,000 rolls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 losses | 56.51% | 99.98% | >99.99% | >99.99% |
| 8 losses | 18.15% | 87.99% | >99.99% | >99.99% |
| 10 losses | 4.82% | 41.30% | 99.53% | >99.99% |
| 12 losses | 1.22% | 12.63% | 74.40% | >99.99% |
| 14 losses | 0.31% | 3.37% | 29.32% | 96.90% |
| 16 losses | 0.08% | 0.87% | 8.47% | 58.76% |
| 20 losses | 0.00% | 0.06% | 0.57% | 5.60% |
Read it this way: a setup that busts on a 10-loss streak has a 41% chance of busting within 1,000 rolls. One that only busts on a 16-loss streak brings that down to 0.87%, but it still meets its streak eventually if it runs long enough. That is why stop rules matter as much as bet size.
Worked example
Balance 100, base bet 0.01, 49.5% chance, 100% increase on loss. The bets go 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.08… The 13th bet is 40.96 and leaves 18.09. If that one loses too, the next bet would be 81.92, more than you have left. So a 13-loss streak ends this run, while any shorter streak is recovered by the next win. Every winning row returns the same 0.01 profit, which is the whole trade-off of martingale in one line.
Tips from running this live
- Pick the streak you want to survive first, then derive the base bet. Never the other way around.
- Set a session profit target. A setup that wins 0.01 per cycle needs many cycles; stop when the day is made.
- Model a realistic recovery plan with the loss recovery calculator instead of raising the base bet after a bust.
