I was testing strategy all weekend. Since there are no simulators that work for the methods I use, I have to play all the hands out by myself.

I played for hours through the worst Dealer hot streak the game could throw at me. Finally I broke out of the hot streak and started winning a majority of my hands.

Today I was back at work at the casinos and the winnings came easy.

I open up the Basic Strategy Trainer on the website and I am winning that also... I open a different casino game and I am winning that too!

Makes me wonder... You have to play through losing streaks no matter what you do... But does Lady Probability understand that your losing streak was with virtual money and not real money?

I definitely understand how the streaks work, I have played through so many thousands of hands rapidly in computer casino games. Their journey is consistent.

If every time I hit a losing streak at the casino, I go home and play through a losing streak on my computer, would I be able to miss the losing streak in the casino?

Strange thing happened to me also today. A micro tornado ripped through a parking lot in front of me. Garbage was flying everywhere within the funnel and it went quite high up. It was 2-3 feet in diameter. It just ripped on by and went it's way...

I am pretty sure this is a serious question, but I'm sorry that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

You have posted this in the wrong section.

It should be posted in the Voodoo Betting Strategies section.

Yes, but you'll hit the next losing streak which coincidentally starts while you're driving to the casino.

this is the thing you have to think like a steak to truely understand how it thinks and works.

these streaks know how to screw with people and yes they do collaberate together with practice "steaks"

i think we need to catch a new born wild streak contain it and try to condition it, then let it free in a casino....

il grab the net you grab the box we will catch a wild "streak"!!!!!

i feel it would be a usefull thing to capture in a box and bring to the casino's with me so i can have winning streaks all the time. would be great EV!! you can grab a net and come along for the hunt to if you want. you tend to find wild ones around back ally games, knocked down casinos, used card packets and closed tables.

i already have a few in some jam jars at home you can buy one if you want $500 but they only last for one session, after that they run off into the wild again.

STREAK

But seriously... I think it is something worth looking in to further. You will play out according to the averages of all of your hands. If you have won less than your average number of hands you were in a dealer hot streak. The numbers must correct themselves and indeed they do. You will then win more than your average number of hands in order that you win according to the correct average.

You just bet higher during the correction stage.

Licentia.

Also, my representation of the streaks is very accurate. Currently at home I am on a winning streak though my double downs are horrible. So basically I end up breaking even. But that will pass.

That is simply not true. There have been numerous threads that explain exactly why:

http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bb/showthread.php?t=9093
http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bb/showthread.php?t=9098

Any system built on this foundation is flawed from the beginning. It will never give you an advantage no matter how you structure your bets.

“And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually.” Jimi Hendrix

The concept of streak betting has been disproved centuries ago, yet all of your systems seem to rely on it. Perhaps it’s time to open up your mind and think outside of the box. Tinkering around with the same old faulty logic will only bring you more frustration.
