    The only benefit from martingales is that ploppys (unskilled, non counting blackjack players that "plop" down at the table and are prone to superstitions, "systems" and voodoo thinking) believe in them and you can appear to be a ploppy too by seeming to martingale or steam when actually you are just skillfully increasing your bets into an increasing count

    I've looked up so many legit-looking blackjack trainer websites that explain so much about different betting systems, so I never suspected that they were just scams...I spent so many hours searching for the right betting system ergggg

    Thank you so much for your explanation!

    Yeah anything that says to do anything else but bet incrementally with the true count in proportion to your bankroll is ploppy nonsense. Just attack the game as armed as you can be and see what happens. Dont play negative counts and hope that nobody has heard of card counting in korea

    Just 2.5 years. This calendar year has been my least profitable, even though I’m betting more and playing higher advantage games. Stupid variance.

    So far I've visited and only spectated in the casinos in Korea - many players were spreading bets between rounds (obviously counting) and the pitbosses were not even walking around but would just stand and chat with other bosses. So I do not think I'm gonna bother camouflage-betting or worry about being pulled-off.

    Thank you for putting me out of this misery about betting system haha

    From what I’ve heard, you’ll want to look or be Korean.

    300x your money in 2.5 years?! How many hours were you playing/how high was your RoR?

    Because there are, and I am sure almost everyone knows it.

    They lurk too. Can't tell if he posts or not, but there's a pit boss I know who very actively watches this forum. He's often talking about it with other pit people and occasionally me, which is super awkward.

    Any time someone posts a place isn't watched or otherwise makes it sound inviting, it always smells fishy to me. It's the main reason I haven't hit one poster up for coffee who lives in a place I frequent.
