The NO RETREAT BJ scheme is winning

[davidmcclung]

Have played this now for 7 sessions(day trips averaging 4-8 hrs of play each) for a net win of $920 with six wins and one loss. I call it the NO RETREAT scheme and here is exactly how I am playing it. Playing double deck with good rules. $500 session bankroll. After the cards are shuffled, first bet is always table minimum, I am playing at $10 minimum tables. Then after each win increase your bet by one unit of $5 until the end of the shoe. Do not decrease your bets after a loss, simply go up one unit on each win until the end of the shoe then start over on the next shoe with table minimum then up one unit after every win. Example: first bet is $10, lose so next bet is $10, win and next bet is $15, lose and next bet remains at $15, win and next bet is $20, lose and next bet is $20, etc. This non-counting scheme has done the best for me than any other, and I have tried many a betting scheme.

Good luck ... I doubt it'll work, testing it now

Sorry, i dont think this will work in the long run, or even in the short run based on my results

[davidmcclung]

Thanks for testing it, will look forward to your results. Any changes you can think of that improves results, such as stopping at $25 level, or beginning anew afer 2 losses, etc. It has worked well for me overall in the short term, but always looking for new ideas..

Here is an idea.
Take the time and learn to count. What you are doing doesn't do anything to change the negative game you are playing. No matter how you vary your bets,if the game has negative expectations,you will end up losing in the long run. Why is this so hard for so many to grasp?Only by changing the game into a positive expectation,will you win in the long run.

I am afraid that Shadroch is correct in telling you to take the time to study other methods rather than using your ludicrous strategy as if it had any use it would already have been invented.

Sorry to be the spoil sport

Shadroch nailed it, sorry man

We all dream of inventing the system that will break the bank. My ex will attest that I invented the Martingale on a weekend at The Trop in 1999.
I was sure I had a foolproof system,and strangely it worked for the first few hours. Alas,I discovered the flaw in it only too soon.
When you look at the math background of some of the top guys in our field,guys like Elliot Jand QFIt,and know that card counting started with an MIT Professor and guys like Julian Braun and the folks at Bell Labs,to think you discovered something they missed is either extemely niave or an act of incredible hubris.

kudos to them for sure. and definately smart guys IMHO. lol. but really it's not rocket science. doesn't seem beyond hope that there's more to learn and build upon. sorry no ideas here. maybe not the martingale though, huh.
i doubt i'll give up trying, dreaming. heck it's fun.

Don't be discouraged David, naysayers said "the Wright Bros would never fly," either! zg

[shadroch]

And they were right. The Wright Bros never did fly. Perhaps their airplane did,but they certainly didn't.
