+/**
+ * Martingale Alpha Strategy
+ *
+ * When odds are between 40-60% for both sides (a ~coin-flip market):
+ * - Use crypto.randomInt to pick yes/no
+ * - Round 1: bet $1, Round 2: bet $2, Round 3: bet $4
+ * - If any round wins, reset to round 1
+ * - If all 3 lose, reset to round 1 anyway (cap losses at $7 per cycle)
+ *
+ * Probability of losing 3 consecutive 50/50s = 12.5%
+ * Probability of winning at least 1 of 3 = 87.5%
