Hi.
I've been reading Ken Uston's Million Dollar Blackjack and I've reached a chapter about playing multiple hands. He says that on a favorable count you should/could increase the amount you bet if you play more than one hands. For instance, if you were to play 200 dollars you could increse it by 15% if playing 2 hands instead of 1 (230 dollars, that is 2 hands of 115), or by 22% if you play 3 hands (244, 3 hands of aprox. 81).
I have a few questions on this.
- If the count is favorable then why "divide" the expected bet into the multiple hands? I mean, if I were to play 200 dollars in one hand because I know I have the advantage ¿why not play as many 200 dollars hands as possible?.
- If the bet shoul only be increased by a percent when playing multi-hands ¿what would be the porcentage for 4 hands, 5 hands?
Thanks in advance.
