Best & safe way to be +10 hands ?
- Thread starter mikeinjersey
- Start date
That is a good question. As tempting as it is, since you just lost a double...the immediate reaction is to unnecessarily double your initial bet to get it back...but dont ! Go back to $5 and be patient. very patient.
I had an absolutely horrible 1st round yesterday...and lost a thousand in the first round...without letting my emotions get in the way, I hung in there...and by the 3rd round I got back even again. (she won like 90% of the hands in the 1st round)
I've started doing a new thing recently..an additional safeguard in a way. After losing 3 straight hands, I play an additional hand just ONCE at minimum...to screw up the Dealer's hand...then go back to playing 1 hand again. This seems to help to prevent losing 10 hands in a row on my main hand.
Even with doing that, if you still reach 6, 7 , or 8 hands lost in a row...you might want to play an additional hand again...just ONCE with minimum bet, to attempt to screw up the Dealer's hand once again & prevent yourself from losing the almighty dreaded 10 hands in a row. Flip things around in your favor.
The safest & best strategy I feel is :
1,1,1,2,3,4,6,8,12,25
The 1,2,1 start is more risky.

Like I said, you'll already be down $1800. Why start from scratch when its not needed ?
You have to block out emotions & just do it. Most of the times you will be successful. And will not reach losing 10 hands in a row.
Losing 7 hands in a row is possible once in every 6 or 7 hours. Losing 10 hands = once every 12 hours or longer.

Mike,
if you vary your bets and start winning regularly, many joints will shut you down. or make you flat bet.
alot of casino personnel are very superstitious and watchful for cheats. this is not a great position to be in. -my recommendation is not to waste your time and money.
I used to enjoy playing craps. you wouldnt believe how sweaty some places get when some bum has a lucky streak. they suddenly offer a nice buffet, a few drinks, or a hotel stay to try and change their luck. someone they would otherwise kick the hell out.

no need to be rude
Why to be rude?I understand , what Mike does ,cannot work on a long run form mathematics point of view, but what is he is just lucky and has a very long short run, so to speak? What if variance didnot hit him as some other members?
There were several cases recently when members wrote about their positive experiences beyond counting.
Remember, there is a member who claimed he won lots of money winning everyday 100 , playing 25 flat bet.
If someone is lucky or have a good variance, whatever, let him be.
After all,ever most proficient counters cannot win all the time.

I'm still waiting for an explanation as to how playing an additional hand is going to "screw up the dealer's hand" since you can't possibly know ahead of time what cards the dealer is going to get in either scenario. I'd also like to know the mathematics as to how such a lame progression could possibly work. If you're not doubling every loss you'll never get your money back unless you win an obscene amount of hands consecutively...and we all know a Blackjack player loses more hands than he wins.
thanks Sonny I couldnt have said it better. ~even on half a tank.
