I used to be a straight BS player, nothing more nothing less.
I used to try and go off winning streaks. Every time I won a bet, I'd take half my winnings and stack it on top. Something like this;
Bet $20----Win. Keep $10, add $10
Bet $30----Win. Keep $15, add $15
Bet $45----Win. Keep $25, add $20
Bet $65----Win. Keep $35, add $30
Bet $95----Win. Start over.
Anytime you lost, you start over.. I'd keep going till I won 5 in a row and start over.. A couple times I kept going till I lost and reached table max a few times.. I won over 3K when that happened but those were some rare moments. I'll be the only one who admits this but I was down as a gambler when using that strategy. Probably only $300 as I have won a lot, and lost a lot doing that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
But, I realized how stupid this was. Stopped playing blackjack for a long time. Did research, practiced, and learned CCing. Counting is the best thing that ever happened to me in the blackjack/casino world.
I can never play a single hand of BJ without counting now. Why play without the advantage?
