Two places you are wrong or not considering.

Bet sequence: 10-20-40-80-160-320-640-1280

On your fourth wager of $80, you get a double down or split situation where you lose both bets. So you now are down $230 and your next wager is $160? This is why BJ is a bad play for martingale to begin with. The only way to continue is to skip through the next wager amount of $160 and bet $320, thus shortening even further your loss streak window.

But let's forget about the double down situation. You play all your wagers straight up. What happens after the $640 loss, when you need to bet $1280 but the table max is $1000? Ok I guess you wager the table max of $1000. You lose that, for your 8th loss and then what? You are down $2270 and can't continue with the sequence. Down $2270, it is going to take a lot of $10 win cycles to catch up. You never will catch up. There will be another 9 loss string before you ever do. You will just continue to spiral deeper and deeper in the hole.
