Default Improved bankroll

Hello everyone. I am aware that i posted a similar thread earlier on this topic but would like to revisit it once again because i do not understand it perfectly. My bankroll is 5000 and i am playing DD: h17, no das, double any card, no resplits, no surrender,insurance pen is 65%-75%. Am using hil-lo and hope to spread 1-25. I am in search of the optimal bet variance and believe the only way to figure it out is through trial and error, or i could ask you. If you can find the time please tell me what you think of this. Thank you.


TC < 2: 2$
TC2: $10
TC3: $20
TC4: $40
TC5:!!!!!$$$50$$$!!!!!

Would this be considered "conservative"? is 10 dollars too little money to bet on a tc of +2? With 50 dollars max bet how much money should one bring to the casino? $800? That seems right to me but, what do i know?

Well, with a 5000$ BR your looking at 100 max bets.Thats not bad. The thing is, is you dont want be overbetting in proportion to your advantage. My best advice to you is. Unless your absolutetly sure, dont play, until you are! Especially, if the moneys important to you! I would really like to help you out. But the truth is, i cant say for sure.
I do know your on the right track and the 1-25 spread should compensate for the adverse rules. Heres a tip: When you get a decent + count near the last round and your +5 or more. And you won the last hand. LET ER RIDE

Default lettin' "er" ride

Well that sounds fun as long as its not over $50. Like mom always said, "ovebetting might be exciting and fun but a consistent bettor wins in the long run"

PS. By 100 max bets do you mean 100 dollars? I'm steering clear from that 'til i make another 5 grand then it'll be a nice, safe, comfortable 1% of my bankroll. I think that is wise.

this from CVCX set for your bankroll and rules. your scenerio is in custom bets ,,,,,,using hi/lo I18
you can compare optimal 1-10 spread to your scenerio below:

You made the right choice. The trial part can be fun but the error part can be expensive!

No, that’s pretty aggressive. A 1-25 spread at a DD game is awesome, if you can get away with it.

No. Looking at SageFr0g’s chart you can see that you have about a 0.84% advantage at +2. That’s enough to start kicking out some good sized bets, but you don't want to get carried away until you get some more experience. I think $10 sounds good. I like that your spread is easy to remember too. That will make it easier to play.

How long do you play for? If it’s just a couple of hours then you can bring less money, but if you plan on playing all day long (or for a weekend) then you will want enough cash on hand to cover some bad variance. I would say that $1,000 is probably good for one full day and $1,600 is good for a weekend. $800 should be enough for a nice 4-hour session. You may never need that much, but it is better to have it then to wish you did.
