Max Bet Percentage ?

I play a 6 or 8 shoe game since that's the only BJ action in my town.

Using KO preferred, 1:10 spread and I just wanted to know what's the theoretical percentage of bets that I'll make my maximum bet.

Thanks.

Well, I don't know about "maximum" bets, but you'll see a favorable count about 15% or 20% of the time. The rest of the time, you'll either be backcounting or betting minimums.

That will depend entirely on the level of penetration. The deeper the pen, the more positive counts you'll see. As Mike said, you will see a positive count about 15-25% of the time, and a max bet may only be 3-4%.

According to the KO Blackjack book, you make your max bets at the pivot point which indicates an advantage of 2% (page 106). Using the chart in Arnold Snyder's Blackbelt in Blackjack on page 177, I believe you will encounter a 2% or greater advantage approximately 5.5% of the time in a 6D game with 75% penetration. I hope that helps.

You should spread 1:20 not 1:10. Also consider playing two hands at favorable conditions instead of just one.

To me,the maximum bet is about 5% of my bankroll.

It's usually recommended to have your max bet be 1-2% of your bankroll. Unless you're OK with a higher ROR.

yes but then again you don't have a BR and you are a SPAM HUSTLE F**K LOSER. zg

Beam him up!

Zg, Can you please do something with that guy, MGC, like zap him with your trusty fazer beam or realign his orbit into another dimension?

RV him out of existence! :joker:
