I used to go to happy hour where they had video blackjack that was strickly for entertainment, no payouts. I dont know if they were setup so counting would be useful or not so I never counted. The thing I would do for fun was try to see how long I could play for a dollar. I assume whatever worked the best was the best strategy.
What I found to work the best was playing 3 hands. I would double all 3 bets every time I won all 3 bets and drop back to my minimum bet if I lost 2 out of 3 bets. It worked surprisingly well. I rarely had to put in an extra dollar while I was there and often built up enough credits($20 worth) to make it worth asking the bartender if I could get paid. None said they would pay me.
My question is, Is the codependence among hands strong enough to merit such an approach as cover in small disadvantage situations?
I thought this idea had enough merit that some of you might be curious enough to run some sims on it. I posted it on the voodoo board because thats probably where it belongs. I only have a limited amount of experience with it in an unknown game so my question is based on anecdotal evidence not math but we all know that multiple hands have a fair degree of codependence. With that in mind I thought it was worth a look especially for those who feel they need some cover play.
