I'm not much of a gambler. I put $20 in the slots a few times a year and have only played Blackjack in a casino a few times.

I've always been curious, does the double your bet every time you lose thing work?

It seems like it would but I've obviously not done field testing.

In theory it works, but in reality you run out of money, limit or balls before you win

And it also assumes 50% odds, which is not the case.

Well, in theory no. But no one has an unlimited bankroll, and if you have a huge bankroll, you probably don't care about profiting only the starting bet, which is what you end up winning each time you win.

Blackjack has always fascinated me as it is played in the casino.

The dealer may be playing 5 people but essentially it is one on one. The dealer has to sit on a 17 so essentially it would seem that the player would have the advantage.

I'm assuming the house has the advantage with multiple players against the dealer as the dealer only needs to beat the majority of the table to win.

Would the house have any advantage if blackjack tables only had one chair?

The advantage comes in that if both you and the house bust, you lose.
