    I concur, so can we move, if not delete, Post #9 ?

    Rubbish like that pollutes your forum unless filtered and segregated.

    He had a thread moved to the Disadvantage Forum already; this is actually just more detail of his "system" but the OP actually had a question that belongs in the General Blackjack forum...........and Norm posted a link to his sim that dealt with that question. Maybe LuckyIke's answers need to be removed but the original question and post was valid. Can you differentiate or split the thread? In any event, the rest of the replies explain the fallacies of his statements.

    Shoot, losing 7 hands in a row even with a conservative continuation of his system/progression results in like a 491 unit loss....and if you win the 8th bet, you will win your 1 unit back............anyone with any sense can see this one. I hope.

    Why not just show the link to your progressive betting sim/tester:

    For those that don't know, the last line of the progressions tester:

    "Why don't the Pentacles keep their evil spirits away?"

    ...ostensibly comes from Jorma Kaukonen. Otherwise, not one of Airplanes better contributors.

    Yes! In the amount of time that it probably took you to type out all of that nonsense, you could have gotten a head start on actually learning some real advantage play. If you actually believe half the crap you just spouted off in your long ridiculous post, then you're doomed. You know why you don't get any heat? Because you aren't playing a winning game. If you do anything inside of a casino that gives you an edge and makes you a long-term winner, they will find out and put a stop to it. It doesn't have to be just card counting. You will receive no heat with your approach. Casinos will welcome you with open arms.

    You might be able to pedal this garbage to the gullible, but you can't expect to come on a forum centered around advantage gambling and expect anyone to take you serious, right?

    That is the definition of BP play when called in at a TC +2 or higher and then flat betting. Play 0 negative counts. Reduces number of rounds played to about 15-20%. In a six deck game BP will average about 12 rounds of 2 hands per shoe when called in at TC+2. Increases variance with many more large bets and no minimum bets and yes you need a bank sized to handle your risk.

    I very preferred way to play but requires team efforts.

About Blackjack: The Forum

BJTF is an advantage player site based on the principles of comity. That is, civil and considerate behavior for the mutual benefit of all involved. The goal of advantage play is the legal extraction of funds from gaming establishments by gaining a mathematic advantage and developing the skills required to use that advantage. To maximize our success, it is important to understand that we are all on the same side. Personal conflicts simply get in the way of our goals.
