My reviewing of this topic tells me it hasn't been done but the best method that gets closest is using pure Basic Strategy.My approach has been to use an positive progression, and trying to bet into a winning run (minimum of 3 in sequence) - eg return to lowest bet after any loss, and bet 1,2,3 units on wins. But the losses mount too high or I simply don't stay long enough.I started off using a 6 unit buy-in but have found recently a 10 unit buy-in to perform marginally better.Any comments or advice welcome.
In short, no. CSMs are sometimes beaten with a randomized algorithm. But like computers, they just come out with a new model. If a model is actually beaten, ur never gonna hear about it until it's already obsolete. Progressions do not work. In a shoe, ur slightly better off increasing your bet after a loss, and lowering it after a win or push--doing so wouldn't be a progression, it would be situational counting. Your positive progression does the opposite, so it's slightly increasing the house edge. Let's not discuss your progression. Just use basic strategy at a CSM.
