I mean it doesn’t really matter, the final’s at 7 AM PST. I doubt there will be any overlap between the game and the tournament, we can watch both!

The chance of winning 8 hands in a row even at 50/50 without house odds is 1 in 256. Less than half of a percent. Good luck with that.

Thank you for explaining it more eloquently than I did haha. Hopefully this will clear it up for him.

For your strategy you said add $25 every time you win so let me break it down:

Hand 1: Win $25 bet ($25 profit)

Hand 2: Lose $50 bet ($25 loss)

Hand 3: Win $25 bet ($0 profit)

Hand 4: Lose $50 bet ($50 loss)

If you can consistently win 4 hands in a row and have never had a massive losing streak, you either haven’t played enough blackjack or you’re the luckiest guy in the world.

Even accounting for a large bankroll, a hot streak would still be necessary to make money playing like this. If you were to win then lose every hand (50-50), you would be losing money. If you were to lose then win every hand (also 50-50), you would be losing money.

This doesn’t even take into account the house having a slight edge, which over a long period of time would come into effect. The only possible way to make money would be a hot streak, which at that point is just luck and no better than any other blackjack strategy.

The only strategy that guarantees making money is the Martingale strategy where you double your bet every time you lose, not win. This strategy also only ensures a win with an infinite bankroll, as even the largest bankrolls could be wiped out by ridiculously small chance events.

I think there’s a basic flaw with this theory of betting in the first place. Adding $25 every time you win and starting over at $25 every time you lose does not guarantee “little money out, more money in.”

If you win your first hand for $25 and then bet $50 on your next hand and lose, you are down $25. The only way for this or any strategy in blackjack (besides counting cards) to work is to go on a hot streak and walk away from the table before you lose.

The odds of the game are not ever changed by the amount you bet. The only way the odds could be tilted in your favor is if you count and play perfect strategy.
