Im not an experienced blackjack player or card counter...but I have learned a lot from practicing and web sites like these.
I was wondering if anyone uses a strategy like this because it makes sense to me....
Lets say you start out playing/counting. When the count is low or (-) you bet the minimum of course. You will win some hands and lose some hands. When you win, you've bet one unit. When you lose, why not double your units on the next hand? The probability is better that you will win a hand after losing a hand, right? And if you do happen to lose two hands in a row, then why not bet 3 units. Because if you win that hand you get you money back. And after you win that 3 unit hand you should start again with one unit. With this strategy, you really shouldn't lose money since its highly unlikely that you get continuous losing hands especially playing with perfect basic strategy. Once the count gets high, then raise your bets.
