Those are right out the book I believe.

Correct.

Yet that will depending on WHO is sitting at the table. Some want to play the bust. others want to play by the book. So every day that 'rule' is different depending on who you are sitting with.
I'll spare the ethnic stereotypes that crack me up, or I find entertaining and typically reinforced anytime I play. However, let's just say that 'some' are a little more superstitious, and loud about it.

In indian casinos you can play this about 12 hand until you are stretched out..
Actually this is not that old of method invented I think in the last 100 years, anyhow I thought I had a system. after all what are the odds of inessence losing a coin toss 12 times in a row which is what I must do not to get that $1 profit. (then restart the sequence again)
Well you guessed it. I did ok for a while made a couple hundred then the odds got me. I amazingly lost 12 straight! hehe
That was the end of that system |
Nah. Nothing new. It is called the Martingale.
One of the dealers told me about it, and that is how he plays. You need a big bank roll to do it, but apparently it works for him.

It is one of the reasons there is a 'max. bet' I guess. Here are some of the other 'systems' that some play, or have tried, in regards to progressive betting.
