What information in the Martingale system tells you, you don't have the advantage??? Can you answer that question using the Martingale?

"Magnification comes only when you double down on a favorable bet such as 6 and 4 vs a 6 with alot of small cards out."

Looking for a lot of small cards out is no longer the Martingale System it is the theories of card counting. Looking for a lot of small cards out is not part of the Martingale system. You are the one trying to connect Martingale with card counting by looking for alot of small cards out in the statement above.
More options is only good for the players. Don't try to look at the Martingale System through the eyes of a card counter. The Martingale Betting System has a lot of flaws. But as I've always said it is the progressive betting progression of a system like the Martingale that allows for us to set up these high bet double downs.
