    Lose it all in high count

    I don't about you guys but when I lose it all it's when the count is high. 4 or five loses in a row with a +4 TC will do the trick. I've had better results going back down to my min bet after winning once in a high count. It's something like this; TC +3, bet 6 units. Win and the TC is still +3, go down to 1 unit the remainder of the shoe. Lose, rebet 6 units. Lose, bet 12 units (assuming count still high)..lose bet 12 units(assuming count still high) Is it possible to simulate this strategy? This is a DD game, playing heads up, 50% pen.

    Extremely dumb idea. Makes no sense at all.

    I like to tie a chicken bone in a knot when that happens. Seems to take care of it.

    It's not online, every casino and card room in my city (there are about 10) have 50% pen on their DD games, min $25. I've learned to only play heads up.

    Cap,

    You can always do what i did.. First, i used CVCX to calculate optimal bets, then with the help of a "Probability Computer" that calculates your overall EV before each round you actually see how accurate your betting is..It really helps to put superstition to the side..And not to mention it sincerly helps the accuracy of your bets...

    50 percent penetration is not a playable game. This has been discussed in this forum.

    With a large enough BR and large enough spread it is OK. I'd personally rather play many other things, including shoes with decent pen, first. If they sweat the 50 pen DD, it's not playable.

    Agree.....do not play 50% pen DD unless good rules and big spread and HEADS UP!
    Luck is nothing more than probability taken personally!

    My dd game bank roll is usually under $500, spread is no more than 4, head up. The high court always not work as it should be, such as in the shop of Ramport, Sam town, Arizona charlie.

    That's how I do it. Sure it's 50 pen but it's Great rules, head up only. 25 min, 2500 in my pocket. Make out with mostly 500-800 a session, max one and half hours. My problem is, I can't simulate my style of play. It isn't what I wrote above at all. I exaggerated. My max bet is 200. I play around in a 25-200 spread and have done well.
