You are reading my mind! No wonder this forum is called voodoo. Now i need to come up with a whole new set of questions.

It appears that a positive progession, is the prefered betting strategy. I have seen that it keeps you game longer by reducing big losses. I have, however found, that it is not so easy to win two hands in a row. I have been playing the 25 dollar tables in hopes of a hit and run stategy. Oh well...

So Sonny, does that mean with strict discipline, money management,and win/loss limits,i could suppliment my income or not? (most of the time,not likely,or forget about it?):confused:

Given the win loss numbers presented, it appears a limited negative progression would work most of the time, in the short run. You would have to be satisfied with small profits, and be able to hit and run.Its hard to give up voodoo practice. Am i wrong about the probabilities of winning with the...

The probability of loosing or winning five hands in a row was the zone in question. The contention was, that 80% of the time the hands stay in that zone.

I've searched forums and am still unclear about probability and progression betting. I recently read that the probability of staying within a 4 or 5 hand win/loss zone is approximatly 80%. Is that a crock of bs,or is there some validity. If that is true, then some variation of progressive...

They said it was 10,000. It made me very uncomfortable, since i had been trading dollars most of the day. I was probably only up a couple hunded at the time. I didn't like the idea of my name showing up on some list, or being flaged by the IRS. Good information link. Thank you.

After a day of rigorous blackjack play, at a Washington st. casino, a floor supervisor approaches me. He actually stopped the game, and informed me that i needed to sign a federal form. It concerned laundering drug money. Not wanting to appear guilty of anything, i provided the information and...

Mr.SilentBob, I used the example of doubling 11 with an ace draw, since it seems to happen frequently. I can see how that would be remembered as happening all the time, when actually it happens sometimes. When i refer to being pounded with face cards, i refer to the dealers upcard . I have a...

I tracked hundreds of sessions. I used 1, 2, & 4 decks hand shuffled. I used a negative progression up to 4 losses. I incorporated 1 recovery bet into the strategy. I ended the session after winning or loosing 20 units. The results were a winning session 7 out of 10 consistantly. Hundreds of...

selective memory Interesting insight. You may have something there! I have an easier time applying selective memory to doubling 11 and being hit with an ace. That happens often. It's harder to apply selective memory, when your being pounded down with with face cards shoe after shoe...

Reply Thank you, so much for probability. I'll have to read the thread on probabilities. I think i saw one. I've tracked and recorded probabilities for over two years now. I'm not a mathematician, but i've never seen anything so extreme. Crazy game!

Major renovation Don't know how recently? I stayed there a couple of months ago. The hotel was undergoing major renovation. Was told there were plans to extend the dome all the way down to El Cortez. Only time i played there so not sure about rules.

Macine shuffling The dealer would place one set in the machine, after taking another set out and placing them in a shoe.Your probably right! It happened every session for days. It was very unusual. Iv'e never seen cards fall with such consistency for that long a period.

Im new to this site, so i apologize if this is a worn out topic . I was recently playing in a washington state casino, where shuffling machines are used. Session after session, table after table, day after day, the dealer almost always had a 10 or above showing. I would think it occurred 7 to 8...
