the strategy that won me 14000

[Smak]

first off I never bust, so I stand on 12 or higher. and I bet 5 5 5 30 100 300 500 in that order while I am losing, as soon as I win a hand I start that betting order over. I bet the min until I have found I lost 3 times in a row and then ramp up my bets until I win. this is not the martingale strategy because I generally win much more on a win than just my initial bet, and even though I start with flat bets its not a flat betting strategy. here is what I win on each hand, depending on when I do win. 5 0 -5 15 55 155 55. I only lose if I win the 3rd bet or if I lose the 7th hand. but there is one option to take if you do lose the 7th hand and have the money, you can bet 2 hands of 500 and try to win your stake back plus 55 dollars. now I am considering changing this strategy slightly, if I win the first bet I may just let it ride for one more bet. so if I win 5 dollars then bet 10 dollars. and if I win the 10 dollars then drop back to my initial 5 dollar bet. in this way when I do get a string of wins I will get a little more money.

Progression bull crap!! Unless you are playing a game with an advantage off the top betting progressions don't work.

If it works (it doesn't) why would you change the strategy around (ie: letting the first winner ride)?

you're better off putting all that effort into trying to hack into OSN, Sin, Biometrica, and SIN. That would be +EV down the road. Shouldnt be that hard to do either. I doubt casinos have penetration testers testing the strength of their computer systems. Only the bigtime corporations like Google etc have them. Casinos are just a bunch of low end cheap scum.

Violating laws is not +EV.

The biggest mistake you can make is underestimating your opponent. You end up losing every time you do it.

That's how the saying goes. Ive won my share of times underestimating my opponent.

Losing has many meanings. I used it to as a verb to mean to depreciate in effectiveness (or in some other essential quality) not an outcome. Expand your understanding of vocabulary and everything else for that matter.

If not for regrets, most people wouldn't have a past.

I have to say that as I get older, my memory of the past is actually improving. This can be annoying as I remember every embarrassing moment I have experienced back to my childhood. And, every human knows what that means. OTOH, past embarrassments are learning experiences. They can tell you how to avoid being stupid in the future. At least in the same manner, if one's ego doesn't override sensibility.

Wait...........are we just using different words for the old description of "insanity"?

As in, "Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results"----was this by Albert Einstein or the 12 Step program..........I don't remember...........LOL

I am not buying into this because this is called a "progression system bet spread".
