Complexities and the callable API
Let's see how well this API holds up as our processing becomes more complex. The following is the double-up on each loss strategy (also known as the Martingale betting system):
class BettingMartingale( BettingStrategy ): def __init__( self ): self._win= 0 self._loss= 0 self.stage= 1 @property def win(self): return self._win @win.setter def win(self, value): self._win = value self.stage= 1 @property def loss(self): return self._loss @loss.setter def loss(self, value): self._loss = value self.stage *= 2 def __call__( self ): return self.stage
Each loss doubles the betting by multiplying the stage by two. This goes on until we win and recoup our losses, reach the table limit, or go broke and can no longer place any bets. Casinos prevent this by imposing table limits.
Whenever we win, the betting is reset to the base bet. The stage is reset to have a value of...
