    It has some redeeming features. Counters could use it as their betting ramp. Using it as an Oscar grind could occasionally produce some impressive wins coupled with a stop loss. Only a fool would take it to the point of oblivion. I'll look up Thackeray's warning. In essence it's only a series of bets. Example of using it in Oscar's grind: 5,10,20 ,40,20,40,20,10 ,20,10 etc..

    Thackeray
    I knew him well
    He also called minimum bets units

    Moderators, please delete my post before word gets out. I don't want to be responsible for causing these techniques to become widely known. Sorry everyone.

    If you think this is mind-blowing, wait until you hear about my soon to be patented card counting system! Without going into detail it uses quantum entanglement to reveal the next card before it is drawn. I have created a key-fob sized particle accelerator which, when directed at the deck of cards, energizes the atoms of the next card to the point that they become entangled with that of the atoms in the accelerator....think of it as a synergistic process by which a virtual clone of the next card is produced and the value is automatically registered by the internal 20nm processor, which interprets the results into a series of vibrations that the user can learn.

    Having perfect knowledge of the next card means martingale is no longer off-limits! One can even avoid martingale loss by correctly wonging on the appropriate hands.

    I have only one question. What does 20 nm mean?

    20 nanometers. Current Intel microprocessors are built on 22nm architecture, which means I am a step ahead of the crowd. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/22_nanometer

    The easiest way to attempt this idiocy is to play at home on PC until large loosing streak has occured, then run to the casino to exploit the correction.
    I play on my home computer until I have a loss streak of 30 hands. I have it set up so the computer plays the hands automatically and alerts me with a pop up window when a 30 hand loss has been encountered. This can often take days, but it's worth it to go to the casino with a near sure thing! (Caution: Be sure the computer stops playing hands after it reaches 30 consecutive losing hands.)

    If I ever do lose, I may have to up the parameter to a 50 hand loss, but with the number of hands required to do that, I may have to purchase another computer and run the two simultaneously, which obviously eats into my EV.

    But I have an idea! I could mail each of you a copy of my program and we could run a hundred programs at a time. At that rate, we could set the parameter to a 100-hand losing streak, which would be nearly impossible to lose at. Anyone interested, please contact zg, as I am asking him to be my contact point for purposes of this proposition, since I may be away from my computer for the next several hours. Thanks.

    Are you interested in selling this technology?

    I deleted my post, but somehow it reappeared above in a different place. Where do deleted posts go anyway? Could it be a quantum thing?

    This is not scars grind. Martingale raises bets on losses. Oscar's GRind raises bets on wins unless a smaller bet after a win will put you 1 unit ahead.

    What's the diff. Make up any numbers you want. The EV is the same if they aren't based on advantage. There ain't no magic numbers.

    The secret to progressions is in the Fibonacci numbers. But that's all I can say without revealing an esoteric ancient Egyptian algorithm known to precious few and based on the Sod level of Torah exegesis expressed in Kabbalah.
