I recently read a book called 'blackjacks hidden secrets, win without counting' by George Pappadopoulos. (whata' name) anyway he says he has a 78% win average with this betting strategy. The strategy says your first bet must be twice the table minimum for example at a $5 table your first bet would be $10. If you win you regress your next bet to $5, win, your next bet is back to $10, win again you bet up one unit which would be $15, win $20 etc you keep going up until you lose. When you lose you go back to your starting bet of $10 and start the cycle over. The goal of this system according to the author is to increase your session bankroll by 50% then stop playing for the day. So for example if you start with a $100 bankroll you would stop playing when you got to $150. The system is based on streaks and it wouldn't really take a very big streak to increase your bankroll by 50% unless your starting bankroll is very large to begin with. The reason I'm interested in the system is because of the the fact after your first win you drop your bet back to table min. so if you lose this second hand your still ahead one unit because you bet 2 units to start with. This also helps protect you against streaks by the dealer. I have played around with this strategy on the internet for play money and it seems to work pretty well but I'm still not confident in using it with real money as I'm not sure about betting systems in the long run. So if anyone uses this system let me know if you have had good results. 2units-1unit-2units-3units-4units-etc. Lose you go back to 2units and start over.
