If you need $255 to cover 8 losses, that means you need to win 255 times before you lose 8 consecutive in order to just break even. If you take the amount of spins it would take to get those 255 wins (probably somewhere around 550) and calculate the odds of having 8 straight losses somewhere within those 550 spins, you'd come to the same house advantage as if you were playing spin for spin. Only spin for spin, your loss is a dollar a little more than every other spin. Martingale, your loss is $255 approximately once every 450 to 500 spins......or in other words broken down to roughly a dollar a little more than every other spin.
You could probably win enough in the short run to go buy yourself some dinner, but if you got into that unlucky streak of 8 straight losses right off the bat, it becomes a $255 dinner (plus the price of dinner).
