    Oscars Grind? Considering givin it a shot

    Maybe i wasnt too clear. when i said i set 2 stop losses... one stop loss(-20) would end a sequence the other -200 dollars on the night would end my night. Is it a good idea to take the small 100 dollar ding(5$ units) when i dont have a bankroll of thousands to back a incredibly long grind?

    so i tried it out and won 200 dollars. stopped at that goal but i adapted it a little... i set 2 stop losses... -20 in a session, and 200 dollars down overall. i was playing on roulette with 5 dollar units... and betting on black would you recommend the -20 stop loss?

    what would be a good stop loss number? on roulette and BJ? sorry for all the noob questions. also a question about counting? is it still an effective strategy when the casino uses 6 decks and a shuffling machine constantly?

    Oscars Grind? Considering givin it a shot

    Im willing to risk(lose) 1000 dollars... would OG be more fun at a 5 dollar table? or better at a 1 dollar a unit roulette games... it seems painful that a long session will only put you up 1 dollar. 5 i can live with

    thanks for the input guys.. the roulette is double zero, but i have 240 units(1-240) if that makes any difference. i have won money on roulette doing the martingale on the 1-12 block... but it was most likely luck

    And thinking about the roulette... that is 240 units to see it through... is that better than the 100 units otherwise?
