By · Last updated October 30, 2026

A progression that follows the sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13… moving forward one step after a loss and back two after a win. It escalates far more slowly than Martingale.

Why it matters

Ten losses take Fibonacci to 89 units against Martingale’s 1,024.

In practice

Fibonacci moves back two steps after a win, so one win doesn’t erase a losing run, but the stakes rise far more slowly than Martingale’s. It trades rare catastrophic losses for longer, slower drawdowns.

Example

After five losses the bet is 8 units.
