    Wink NEW BEE starting

    Just to make sure I have this correct. Reason I doing a $15.00 table is because the 5 and 10 dollar tables are to crowded and to confusing, to many questions. Also betting anything other than increments of 5 looks out of place. Playing REKO
    $15.00 table, new shoe, 6 deck, My start count is -20, when I get to -4 my bet goes to $20.00, -3,or -2 $25.00, -1,0,1, $30.00 2, 0r 3, $35.00, 4 and above $40.00 my bank roll should be $500.00 or better. Is this correct?

    Cajun if you are using a $15 minimum with a 3 spread and a $500 bankroll on a 6D game, your risk of ruin is about 100%

    You probably need to go here and read about money management:

    I'd suggest reading the entire book.

    Thanks, so 1 thing out of four that's 25% right. Yahoo. Next betting, I am use to negative progressive been doing it for years. so if I want to look like a negative progressive player and bet using this if 1 unit, 2 units, 4 units, 8 units, 16 units, is the proper progression and assuming 1 unit is 5 dollars then my bets should be 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160. is this correct?

    I don't see how that is going to fool anyone. You are spreading your bets from 5 to 160 along with a rising count.

    Negative progression is a betting routine that is not based on advantage but whether or not you win or lose a hand. It is useless.

    Please read the book I mentioned before you go play.
