I get it. You can't explain it either.

It's not my system. I found it here. I used info provided by the Wizard Of Odds in my analysis. That's been good enough for me and everyone else so far...until now I guess. If you feel it's wrong, then PLEASE show me where.

Read the stickies before I made my post. I don't recall anyone ever asking an explanation of how a progression can clearly show a profit as this one does. Or show how the chart is wrong.

This is what I don't get. Then where is this simple chart wrong? It clearly shows a profit every 9 or 10 cycles? Are you saying the chart is wrong?

This is NOT a complex system. It's incredibly simple. Just show me what happened to the house edge?

Step 1 is a repeat bet. To end the cycle requires 2 wins. So win $5 with the first bet. Repeat the bet with the $5 you won and win a total of $10. Progression starts a new cycle on step 1 again. Step 2 is a parlay bet. To end the cycle also requires 2 wins. So win $5 with the first bet. Then...

Riddle me this, Batman... Here’s a simple 6 step pos/neg progression I believe I found somewhere on this site. It takes 2 wins (repeat or parlay) to reset the progression cycle to step 1. It also takes a single loss (parlay) or single NET loss (repeat) to advance to the next step. ...

Sorry. I'm not used to counter's jargon. The max and min I was talking about are the table max and min, not my bet variance. Of course, my bets are all within those limits.

Never said anything about bet size. Doesn't really matter as long as they fit the table rules and your bankroll.

All I'll say is if you play blackjack every day you're a far better man than me (or psychotic). As for my income, I'll tell you I report one every year and I'm definately not rich. Other than that, I don't discuss it with anyone but my wife.

Been doing it full time since 1990.

Lots of counters jumping on system players on this board. I've been playing for over 25 years and counting makes no sense to me. If you're down to the last 100 cards in a 6 deck shoe the only thing that matters is the next 20 cards as that's all you're going to see. You can have a sky high...
