    Horizontal Spread

    Hi everybody,

    I'm now playing a game that has a little advantage off the top, only playing basic strategy. The problem is that the maximum bet allowed in the table is 50$.

    Assuming heat is not a concern in this casino i was thinking to apply an "horizontal spread". That is playing multiple hands of 50$ when the count is high enough.

    The question is: will this have an impact on my gains? Will i earn less than using a traditional spread playing only one hand or two at the same time?

    For example whats the difference between playing four hands of 50$ and two hands of 100$? What about playing six hands of 50$ instead of two hands of 150$?
    Betting on multiple hands should reduce de variance but it also uses more cards than if i were playing less hand for the same amount of money.

    Sorry for the bad english

    and thanks in advance for the answers

    The hands are connected events, so spreading horizontally increases your ROR, but not as much as spreading vertically does.
