RE: The G Man The fog has cleared! Thank you for your elucidation.

Re: "it ISN'T so" This information is from Strategy Engine Charts on this website.

re: Not peeking...does nothing to alter LS BS. Yes I was wrong in my first entry, in that No Peek provides more opportunity to late surrender than Peek. If dealer stands on soft 17 surrender 4 times on Peek,6 times on No Peek If dealer hits soft 17 surrender 6 times...

This is indeed a late surrender rule, but with "no peek." The strategy engine shows less opportunity to surrender with "no peek."

Re#37: The dog has barked; let's move on.

Re#35: Zengrifter Thank you for the encouraging words. I was somewhat cowed by the heat of other criticism. My system is different than Martingale or Anti-martingale. I have not previously declared any mathematical skills other than being able to count to 22 with my socks off. I would...

Re Post#27: I don't think there is any two time BJ player that has not thought of a winning progressive betting system. All of them have been proven wrong! So far. Thanks for the references. I will read each of them carefully before my next reply.

Re Post#17 &21: Before a hand is dealt the expectation is usually negative: when you see your two cards and the the dealer's up card the expectation for this hand changes. But no matter, your bet size is determined by recent history. The deck has no memory, but your playing stack does...

Re Post#18: Not psychic--patient. It's a lot like fishing.

Re Post#16: I answered Post#2 & #4 as far as I want to in Post#3. This is a work in progress and I am seeking ways to improve it. If successful I will still not publish the particulars. I intend to sell it to the casinos and then hire out as a consultant to teach them how to prevent its use.

John Doe re expectation. If the first hand from a shoe, you can calculate the probability (win/loss) of that hand with complete accuracy. Many hands have a positive expectation even with skewed distribution of the deck. All this is beside the point; it is not necessary to know the next...

I seem to be getting mostly flak from from my initial post on this thread, but no one is addressing my original questions. I am seeking answers, not ridicule.

BoSox: "You do not know when to predict (voodoo) when a streak starts or ends period." It is a passive system; you wait for it! If my first bet of a new series is a loss, I am no worse off than if I were playing flat table minimum. If my last bet of series is a loss, it is covered by...

I can condense my strategy on both sides of one index card and take it to the table. Twice pit-bosses have asked to examine and explain "what it is." You are right; they welcome my play.

Many individual hands have a positive expectation. Sometimes you win one! The heart of my strategy is the defense. It is a passive system. You wait for the occasional winning streak, just like a card-counter waits for a positive count.
