    BJ, floating advantage simple DD question..

    Say, you are playing a DD game with a 75% penetration spreading 1-5 at a $25 min. Table. Your planned spread is $25 at TC <0, $50 at TC1, $100 at TC2, $125 at TC>3. You wong out at TC<_2. A simple spread at an H17, DAS, standard rules. HiLo. You are playing with one other ploppy and playing just one hand.

    Now, in the second round, TC reaches Plus2, you bet $100.

    After 65 cards have been dealt, the TC is again plus2, do you again bet $100 or some higher amount?

    If you increase your bet, at what point (50 cards dealt, 60 cards dealt, 70}) is it justified? If No, does that mean floatingvadvantage is not significant enough to raise your bet?

    See BJA3, p. 77. Probably not deep enough to increase. Very slightly higher amount justified, but not $125.

    I read the chapter. While I found the discussions between you and Snyder and others fascinating, I was just trying to get a feel for how to incorporate into betting strategies. Thanks.

    I am still learning; but with no Ace side count; a TC of 2; I think rebet $100. I would like to here your response.

    Much more important than floating advantage is upping your spread from 1:5.

    When you don’t want to lose a casino and you are doing OZk with the spread...

    Agree. Floating advantage means almost nothing if players are only betting $125 1:5 on a DD game.
