Whats your betting strategy?

[jack,jackson]

Just kinda curious, as to how, the majority of players bet their money?

For example, I like to keep it simple with a large spread,(1-12) against multiple decks, parlaying on wins only, as long as the count is high enough, of course!

Min(10$)
Avg(60$)
Max(60x60)


Do you:

1) Bet exactly with the TC?

2) Play one or two or three hands only?

3) Switch-up, the # of hands?

4) Grifters Gambit?

5)Parlay on wins only?

6) Take advantage of free cable?

$10-2x60 is not a 1-12 spread,it's only 1-8

And I also wonder how the Avg bet=$60

P.D.

So, if you lose regardless of the count, you drop down to just 1 unit?

You mean 1:6?

Actually I call it the bump! (First Raise) I guess, I should of used #'s instead. I realize the average bet, would be much lower.

I use a 1-8 spread, wonging out @-1, bet 2x6 instead of 8 units when able to, betting strickly by the count. I play short sessions, move around alot and dont worry about much camaflouge.

3) Switch-up, the # of hands?

1) No, I pay careful attention to my min bet index, 2u index, 1/2max index, and max index. With unbalanced counts the count jumps drastically from round to round. Basically, for any TC <1 min bet, TC 1+ = 2u, TC 2-3 = 1/2max, TC 4 units = Max, TC 5 try to go to two hands totaling 130% max bet.

when the count is jumping around a lot between 2-3 i try to keep whatever bet i had out there or parlay if warranted. Though often I am off by 2-3 units depending.

2) I play mostly 1 hand, conditions where I am don't often allow two hands to be played. If the count is exceptional I will play two hands - and i think i am going to start back-lining fellow players (if they are good enough).

3) yes

4) this year I will try, maybe vegas....

5) No. I will parlay a little bit, but in some of the games I am playing if the count skyrockets I can't afford to lose 2-3 rounds hoping for a win so that i can parlay. If the count is exceptional enough and I win a double down I will put almost the whole thing out. I will pull back a big bet if I put it out and the count tanks and I push or win. I play a small amount of camo, and try to make my overall betting habits erratic. Though if i get a blackjack and count tanks, I take back a lot, if i get a blackjack and count skyrockets, I'll parlay out almost the whole 3:2 win. I keep sessions short, and try to bet aggressive.

6)i try not to watch tv, though american idol is so inspiring i can't help but watch.

Thats funny I was just thinking about this. I was wondering the best way to get a bigger spread in 6d without getting barred and playing all except -1 or less.

What about:

min bet $10 on 0+1
+1 or higher two hands $15
+2+ two hands $25
+3+ two hands $65
+4+ two hands $90
+5+ two hands $115
+6+ two hands $140


Using wonging techniques and a few cover plays do you think I can get away with it? By wonging in a few times at higher counts and trying to wong at at lower counts so I rarely do bet $10?? Also notice the $65 and $115 have three reds on it so it may look like I was betting the same to the camera.

??Whatcha Think?? Do I need to never play one hand of $10 when betting this way? Will it get me barred? I basically have a wonging strategy but I want to put in as much time as I can in three day trips to Vegas so I need a good play all strategy as well.

Thanks

IMO, it looks way too mechanical. And I could be mistaking, but unless you've put in some serious practice, these can be hard to calculate at the table. Especially, when your knees are shaking and you cant even stack your chips, right

I suggest you break it down some. The 2 hand approach, is great, but you need to think more, in building your strategy, in casino chip denominations like. 5,10,25,50,100....etc.

Youd be surprised, how this convenience, can help your game a little. Have you checked out CVCX, optimal ramps?
