 Re: Blackjack Betting Strategies
I know that if you sit down with a pencil and figure out just what would happen with all the runs of wins and losses - AND you are playing a 50% game, you'll wind up breaking even.
Many years back (probably in the late 70's) my wife and I would wander from table to table and casino to casino, playing untill we lost twice in a row and using some sort of progression when winning. Memory says that this was fun and no unprofitable but didn't allow us to sit down for very long at any one place.
More recently I have begun to wonder if winning hands could be used to predict remaining deck composition. Logically it seems that a winning hand should normally make the deck more negative (winning hands usually have 10's) and that losing hands should make it more positive (losing hands have more small cards). If this were true, then it would point to "losing" progressions rather than "winning" progressions.
And, I truly don't think progressions work over time.
