i know these are meant to be losers in the long run but i just had a thought...
the basis of card counting says that the player has the advantage and in the long run will win more hands when there is a disproportionate number of high cards to low cards in the deck and lose more when it is the other way round.
therefore if you were to remember your wins versus you losses, in the long run when you noticed that you had more wins than losses and since more wins means more high cards (in the long run) then you'd know that there must be slightly less high cards than low cards due to the higher number of wins and visa versa for more losses.
so based on keeping track of you wins vs you losses for that shoe wouldn't you be able to determine a betting strategy that means you bet more after a more losses than wins cos in the long run this means more high cards and visa versa for more wins than losses
it would seem to me that the advantage (if there were one) would only be very small but in the "long run" (theres those words again), wouldn't it lead to a winning expectation and hence making this proggresive betting strategy a winner or maybe just a break evener rather than a loser
i am assuming that you would call this a progressive betting system as you bet based on your previous wins and losses and there is no couting etc, however it could fall into another category which i am un aware of.
i would love to hear peoples thoughts on this
thanks
