BLACK JACK BETTING STRATEGY

Black Jack Betting Strategy

My favorite black jack betting strategy is easy to remember and will make you a BIG winner *(when you are winning). This strategy follows the logic that although the casino absolutely has an edge in game odds, meaning that statistically if you played the same amount of money each time, even if you played perfectly, the casino would inevitably beat you. The house has an advantage or they wouldn't be able to stay in business. They are expected to win about 4 more hands out of a 100 than you, even if you play perfectly. (And very few gamblers achieve perfect play). So, the ideal black jack betting strategy is to win more $ when winning, and less $ when losing.

Despite the mathematical edge that falls to the house, the casino cannot control the amount of a players bet. You may have noticed some casinos allow blackjack on a 3 tier set-up , usually $1-$10, $10 - $50 , $50 - $100. This is the casino's black jack betting strategy.  Its not to protect you! It protects the casino from someone with deep enough pockets from going double or nothing until they break even.

Betting Strategy that works for nearly all versions of black jack games.

Here's how I bet. I learned this from a book written by a retired pit-boss.
The book belonged to my father, who I once saw on his desk a w-2 form from the Horseshoe casino for $80,000 (lotta money 30 years ago).

I know he never bet that kind of money out of his own pocket. Only later, after finding and reading a book he had once owned, did I understand he had caught a good roll and cleaned up. But if he had stayed betting the same amount on every bet he wouldn't have won nearly that kind of money. The book is called "How to Win" by Mike Goodman ( I do not know the man and get nothing for mentioning his book, I thought you might like to know). I have read a small library on gambling, learning to count cards , which I find only advantageous on two decks or less, and even then Ladyluck can show her ugly side perhaps as punishment to those that would seek other means of winning besides her.

His black jack games betting strategy is a bit more aggressive than what I recommend. Just remember the more you go "double or nothing" without pulling anything back, the quicker the possibilities for making big money. Choosing to not keep a little back however, can lead to a quick end of your gambling session if you hit a bad streak that lasts for an extended amount of time.

if lose = bet minimum and start over process
1st bet- $5

if win = 2nd bet- go double or nothing $10 is bet

if win = 3rd bet- now you have a total of $20 sitting on the table , take back your original bet of $5 and let the remaining $15 ride.

if win = 4th bet- take back winnings, which leaves $15 on table

if win = 5th bet- now you have a total of $30, take back $10 and let the remaining $20 ride

if win = 6th bet- now you have a total of of $40 , bet it all and if you win take back $40 , letting $40 ride

if win = 7th bet- level off and keep winnings on $40 bets until $40 is lost.
start over at $ 5

Good Luck!
