Ive just starting working on counting using hi-lo strategy and so far using casino verite blackjack simulator I can count a 6 deck shoe pretty accurately. Now that I'm getting better at counting I'm starting to move onto how big bets should be. I know once true count goes up my bets should go up, but I need to know exactly how much. And also since my bankroll is going to be fairly small I want to keep ROR as low as possible because I don't want to go broke before my bankroll starts to grow. When I do start playing for real money, its probably going to be $5 min and only I want to start with around $1000 BR. Is this even advisable or will the ROR just be too high and ill most likely go broke? Starting with a bigger bankroll for me just isn't feasible. I could save money and start with a bigger bankroll but it would take me quite a while to save up much more. So I know no matter what I do my ROR is going to be fairly high unless I wait 10 years and start with a $10,000 BR. But... I don't want to wait so yea I guess I'm willing/have to live with having a high ROR. Now back to original question... how big my spread/bets should be. My goal is to make a profit but also keep ROR at a reasonable number. I guess I'm looking for a little help finding the sweet spot. Also I need a little help interpreting the following:
True Count +2 or below: Amount to Bet = Table Minimum
True Count +2 or above: Amount to Bet = True Count * Betting
(I'm getting this from blackjackgeeks.com/cardcounting/betting.php (the second graph on this page)
wouldn't this mean. take the TC multiplied by your 1 unit? and if i'm playing $5 min, 1 unit = $5? wouldn't that mean for example TC is at 4, I would do 4(TC)*$5(units) = $20 ?? But the graph they give shows different
Graph shows. (TC 1 or below = 5) (TC = 2 = 25) (TC = 3 =50) (TC = 4 =75) and it goes up 25 for every TC point all the way up to 10 being 225.
From what I'm reading the more the advantage (higher the TC) the more I want to bet. This makes sense but also if you have a limited bankroll this would most certainly expose you to a great amount of volatility/ROR correct?
I need someone to give me an easy answer to how much to bet per TC point. (easy formula I can use on the go) Say my TC is at 6. What do I do to figure how big my bet should be if I'm playing $5 min table with $1000 BR? Or do I just forget how much my BR is and say fuck it? Odds are in my favor so I'm going to put as much down as I can? Anyway. quick formula to use on the go to calculate bet size according to TC please and thank you!
