Hollywood: OK, here goes

[Hollywood]

If I were to change my game a bit and do the following, can anyone tell me what I can expect in the way of returns???

Once again, playing KO standard AC rules, 6 decks, doa, das no surrender split 3 times.

I would like to start playing one hand at $100.00.

At -4 where KO tell you to go to 2 units. I want to go to the 2nd hand. So at -4 I will have 2 hands up with one unit on each.

From that point, operate as though I was always playing 2 hands. As the count gets better, increase both at the same time.

This way I would be able to increase my spread from 1 to 12 to 1 to 24 having 12 units on each.

What do you think?

No, you should have more. if you were going to bet 2 units on one hand, and now you bet one unit on each of two hands, you're just wasting cards. You need to bet two hands of at least $$150-200 each.

But, the way to do this is to figure what the one-hand bet would be and then bet 75% of that on each of two hands, for the same risk. As you want to actually take more risk, by going from one hand of $1,200 to two hands of $1,200, your theoretical bank will have increased -- but you really don't care about that.

See above.
