Enter a starting bet and the number of steps. You get each step's bet, the bankroll you need, the odds of losing a whole cycle and the average result per cycle, using 8-deck probabilities with the 5% banker commission and ties (pushed) included.
| Step | Bet | Total | If you win here | Chance to reach |
|---|
Probabilities: banker 45.86% · player 44.62% · tie 9.52% (8-deck theory). Ties are pushed and the same step is bet again.
You double your bet after each loss and go back to the starting bet after a win. One win recovers everything lost so far plus the starting bet. The catch: a long losing run makes the bets grow fast. At step 6 you are betting 32 times your starting bet on a single hand.
In 55,214 Evolution live baccarat shoes collected by Hiddenpick R&D, a run of the same side lasting 6 hands or more appeared 45,568 times, and 10 hands or more 2,706 times. That is roughly one 6+ run per shoe and one 10+ run every twenty shoes. Use these numbers when you choose your steps.

In Hiddenpick you set the bet table yourself (doubling, a gentler 1-3-7-15 table, or fixed amounts) and a take-profit and stop-loss line. Stopping when a losing run goes all the way is the only way to use a martingale for long. See how it works in What is a baccarat bot?
There is no right answer. More steps make a full loss rarer but bigger. Look at the bankroll needed as a share of your capital first.
They raise a little more so that one win recovers the losses and leaves more. Enter them under Custom and the calculator treats them the same way.
At Evolution live baccarat, bets on banker or player are returned on a tie. The calculator treats a tie as a push and bets the same step again.
Yes. A banker win pays 0.95 times the bet, so a doubling martingale on banker leaves slightly less than the starting bet after a win.
You win often in the short run, but the average result per cycle is negative: an occasional full loss takes back what the small wins made. Setting a stop line is what matters.
