About Table Max Expertise I am an expert blackjack player and have been told that I am disallowed from playing 21 at roughly 50 casinos. I can answer just about any question involving blackjack and many questions involving casino gambling generally, even those involving legal issues, casino measures taken against good players, the `comp` system, casino credit, and of course how to play 21 so you, not the house, are the one with the advantage.
Experience A great deal of study and play experience culminating in winning a great deal of money at the game. For obvious reasons I prefer to keep my name private.
Education/Credentials College and master's degree in unrelated fields.
Question i am playing at a $100 minimum table and 2500 max.
my theory is to keep doubling my bet if i lose until i eventually break-even and pocket the money on my first hand and then start all over again. let me try to clear this up. say i start with a 100 and lose then i'd bet 200 and then 300 and then 600 and then 1200 and then 2400 until i won. i would only breakeven but my advantage would be if i won my first 100 hand and then started again. the only problem is losing more than 6 hands in a row, so i guess my question is what are the odds of losing 6 hands in a row and do you think this theory would work? i also would gain an advantage when i got blackjack 3:2 odds payout
Answer You won't win. You have a big chance of breaking even in each series (about 25%). You have a bigger chance of winning $100 (about 70%). You have a small chance of losing just about $5000 if you lose the whole series (about 5%). But that small chance can put you out of business because you'll lose your bankroll.
I can do the math for you later if you want, but I'm getting married on Saturday so I am busy.
But I can tell you with certainty that progressive systems don't work! I have tried and I know!
