And what was your max bet?

Under this condition, S17, PA rules, 6D, 90% penetration, $10K BR, 1 to 20 spread, using enough indexes to achieve 1% advantage,

your average bet will be $35 and average hour earnings is $35.

So it will take 300 hours to double your initial $10K bankroll.

Min bet is $10. Max bet is $200. Play it all. SCORE is $49.

First, that game will get you a bigger advantage than 1%, maybe 1.7% and second that game does not exist in Las Vegas at $10 min, rarely at $50 min.

Your comment on using "enough indexes" to achieve a 1% advantage is somewhat misleading by implying that the big advantage comes there. Your big advantage comes fromS17 and 90% PEN which, when compared to deck and half, I contend is greater than the sum of the contributions from your indexes.

I should write good enough penetration and good enough indexes for 1% advantage. For this example, probably 80% penetration for 1% advantage. I don't know if AP can achieve 1.7% advantage on shoe game. If it is true, it will take 176 hours.

Also it takes the same amount time to double BR on $10 min/$10K BR and $50 min/$50K. LV Blackjack is for tourists and whales. I have seen $5/$10 min BJ with good rules/penetration on small markets.

I have played all across PA....you are not getting 90% pen....do you realize that about 1/2 deck???....not saying NEVER, but VERY rare for sure....unrealistic assumption

You are 100% correct.

With 8 decks 90% means that 42 cards are cut off.

With 6 decks 90% means that 31 cards are cut off.

I do see 90% pen on some PA casino. But I cannot tell you which one is. 0.6 decks cut off, not 0.5.

Don't forget about using larger bet variations also plays a huge, and major part, of the equation, if you can get away with it.

This was meant as a question for you, the readers, out of curiosity to see how many have doubled their initial bankroll and how long it took to achieve that...

[ZenMaster_Flash]

This begs the question of what N0 ("n-zero") is associated with one's game.

I hit early good variance in the early 90's. I turned 50K into 310 K in under

6 months plundering a great game that of, course, no longer exists.

I started with a BR of $15k. I won $19k the first year, Zero the second year. So you could say I doubled in 2 or 3 years but to have played so many hours in my 3rd year and get nothing for it, $0 per hour was devastating.
