Hi,
A friend told me about this strategy that looks like it works, but I am not a math guy and I have read before that betting strategies don't work, so I would like someone to explain to me why this won't work because I can't figure it out
If you play basic strategy, the house advantage is less than 1%, so you win almost half of the hands that you play. If you start with a $5 bet and add $5 to it every time you lose a hand and take $5 away every time you win a hand, you should win around $5 for every 2 hands that you play (slightly less because of the house's tiny advantage).
So how does it not work?
Thanks, Matt
