I'm new to this forum and fairly new to playing BJ. I'm just learning the game and I don't attempt to count yet. I do use the basic strategy as far as when to hit, etc
I've done some research on this forum and the rest of the internet and didn't find any info that seems to be legit on my question. I'm assuming the "betting stategies" I've read about are mostly bunk, martingale, fiabinacci (spelling) etc or double your bet after you win 2 hands or double your bet after you lose 2 hands ... or whatever. I assume that each deal is a random event. I do think I have hot streaks and cold streaks.
Finally my question. Is there a basic betting or money management strategy for the non counter. I love to play and also love to get comps. For now, I think I'd be happy if I could break even or come close.
A dealer I played with a lot last week told me a local guy in LV comes in every day. He brings 2000 and tries to play till he is up 350 and then quits as soon as that happens, if its 10 minutes or 4 hours. She said he does not count and his theorey is that, with 2000, betting 20 a hand, most of the time he will be up 350 at some point before he goes broke. He will change tables if he is getting killed, will increase bet if on a hot streak and decrease if his luck seems bad. But nothing sceintific or set rules. She said that works fairly well for him money wise.
Sorry for the long post (my first) I don't spell very well and don't know much about BJ. Thanks for taking the time to read my post and thanks in advance if you have some comments.
