Martingale Approach

Requirements Clarification & Assessment

1. Understanding the Martingale Approach:

   • The Martingale strategy is a betting approach that involves doubling the stake after each loss, aiming to recover losses and gain profit when a win eventually occurs.
   • It is primarily used in gambling but can be adapted to other areas involving sequential decision-making.

2. Potential Application in Digital Advertising:

   • Identify scenarios in digital advertising where sequential decision-making is applicable, such as real-time bidding for ad placements.
   • Assess how the Martingale strategy can be translated into adjusting bids based on the performance of previous ad placements.

3. Objective in Digital Advertising:

   • Determine the desired outcomes in digital advertising (e.g., clicks, conversions, engagement) that the strategy aims to achieve.
   • Define metrics for measuring success and evaluating the effectiveness of the strategy.

4. Constraints and Limitations:

   • Identify any budgetary constraints that may impact the application of the Martingale strategy.
   • Consider the risk of increased costs and potential diminishing returns from continuously increasing bids.
