    This is TRULY pointless.

    It sounds like the O.P. has fallen down the rabbit hole and landed in Voodoo BJ Land.

    I'm a progression player, knowing full well the benefits of counting, because my focus is on winning against other casino games besides blackjack.

    In my endeavor if I come accross anything that might have some application to counting, I will put it out there.
    Another example:
    Good record keeping of your sessions is important. By including a column called ( theoretical expected outcome), will give you feedback as to being ahead or behind your expected outcome, when you compare your actual sessions outcome against the theoretical running balance. If you are getting far ahead of the theoretical, you may want to lower your bet ramp.

    And thus, makes me wonder why you experienced gentlemen (AussiePlayer, bigplayer and Flash) would even respond to a post in this subsection.

    Whether you win or lose has nothing to do with where you are versus your theoretical. If you have won enough you might raise your betting ramp due to a higher bankroll. If you lose enough you may lower it due to a smaller BR. This is ROR concerns not expectation of the future balancing the past or past trends continuing. You need to learn about the Gambler's Fallacy. Look it up.

    Altering your bets does not change your advantage. This has been known for centuries
    Chance favors the prepared mind

    And your expected is negative the way you bet.
