Bankroll vs Min Bet

[Intermediate]

pbj:

Not sure how much studying you've done so far in your Blackjack journey, so my apologies in advance:

It appears your thinking could benefit greatly by reading some classic books on Blackjack:

1. Professional Blackjack (Stanford Wong)
2. Modern Blackjack (Norm Wattenberger ) - this is a free book you can get from this site under the BJ Resources tab on the menu bar
3. Blackbelt in Blackjack (Arnold Snyder)
4. Blackjack Attack (Don Schlesinger)

In ancient times (1970s') when 2 dollar min blackjack was available and they had S17, early surrender and a 4 deck game; you could last all day on 200 dollars if you were really good. Today, to get a decent game is most locations, you need to be at the 25 dollar min or higher level.

while the games, of course, were much better then....$1 in 1970 is worth over $7.5 today....putting you at a $15 min w/ $1500 session roll....that's inflation.....wait til this year's numbers come in

if you are willing to travel, there are great games <$25, imo
