Real Life Hearth Attack with OSCAR

[BJStanko]

Huh man!

Note:I am card counter and I would never use betting systems in land based casinos, but since I was board, and not having easy access to land based casinos I decided to have some fun online

Flat betting is extremely boring so I decided to have some fun with "OSCAR" the GREAT!

I can say that I changed my philosophy about blackjack after using "OSCAR", and I have a news for you guys.... I swear that I will never use any kind of betting strategy again.

This is why:

casino - pokerroom.com
house edge - 0.22%
table limit - ($1- $100)
my bankroll - $1000

overall profit - $18
lowest bankroll point - $350
strings played - 18

MAAAAAN ROLLER COASTER!!!!!! Going down $650 just to win $18..... I can just tell you that I am very glad that I didn't lose all of my money.

From now on I'll stick with flat betting in online casinos.

But thats the greatest part of Oscar.
Its like being on the roller coaster at NY,NY.
It gives an absolute rush,but you know its going to come to a safe and happy landing.
Although I must say that I've never been down $650 on a $1 starting bet.That must have been some rush as you made your comeback.
Its not for the faint of heart,or the underfunded.
Ever been so thrilled to win a dollar,as you were that one sequence?

[newyorkbear]

Is there anyway you can reconstruct,or even hazard a guess how you would have been had you been flat-betting?
I'm guessing you wouldn't have WON $18,would you?

[BJStanko]

I Would win far more if I was using martingale, but that's not the point.

The point is that my bankroll dropped down $650.

I am just saying what happened.

I was perfectly executing OSCAR "strategy".

The only reason why I climbed back up were 4 Blackjacks, that I was luck to get when my bankroll dropped down to $350 (I forgot to say this in my thread).

NYBear, I don't know about you, but I'm not looking for excitement, I'm looking to make money.

And BJ, did you see the other perfectly good Oscar thread just below this one?

[newyorkbear]

That simpy can't be true.
Any martingale progression that had you down $650 from a starting point of $1 would have wiped you out of $1000 bankroll,unless you can explain how you got $650 down using a system that you flat-bet your losses.
11 losses from the start in OSCAR=-11 units.
11 losses from the start using martingale= loss of almost double your starting bankroll.

So how would you have made out flatbetting in a run that must have been disaterous?
The whole point of OSCAR would be that not only did you survive it,you defeated that horrendous run and turned it into a victory.

I couldn't agree more.But it does get a bet boring winning in small increments. I really think thats why so few people successfully can use this system,esp in BJ.
It goes against almost everything they have learned and studied. You want to raise into a positive count and duck negative counts,but OSCAR says forget all that,just trudge along and I will reward you.

[LeonShuffle]

By the way NY, I'm STILL not a believer. But I'll continue to use it for now. Only on-line, and only with $1 units.

Alright so I don't play oscar. Thanks for speedy responce!

[LeonShuffle]

Actually Chasekwe, that's nothing at all like Oscar. As a matter of fact, with Oscar, you never raise your bet after a loss. And as for 9 hand losing streaks, I've had many. I recently went 18 hands straight (on-line) without a win: 4 pushes, the rest losses including splits and DDs.
