Getting started Questions: EV & Bankroll

[flkeys]

I want to be sure my basic math correct before I put money on the line.

Example 1:
10% of my hands have a 10% edge, and 2X my bet size during favorable count. EV after 100 hands = 1% return or $10 (@$10 hand).

Example 2:
10% of my hands have a 10% edge, and 10X my bet size during favorable count. EV after 100 hands = 9% return or $90 (@$10 hand).


And what range can most counters raise to and get away with, without getting red flagged.. For example if im betting $10 and raise to 25 often is that to agressive?


How many times max bet should my bankroll be to withstand wide swings?

I don't know your current level of Blackjack proficiency, I would advise you to read the chapter below in regards to your questions. Having said that, you may be better off reading the whole book.

You will never have a 10% edge via counting. Nowhere near it in fact.

While rare, a 10%+ advantage in BJ card counting is certainly possible....think about a TC of 20+...which mirrors to a little less than 10% advantage depending upon the rules.
