Dealer has a 6-2 pass unless you have 11 or less

Occasionally, I also never hit 15 and 16. If I bust I lose. At least if I pass, I have a chance that the dealer busts

I won’t sit at the table if I’m the last person to act before the dealer

So much pressure and people will stare through your soul if you take a bust card from the dealer with a risky hit

So, you start out with a $15 bet. If you lose you go to $20? What is the purpose of that?

If you lose that then you are down $35, so you go up $5 more dollars, which is now $25. Even if you win that bet you are still down $10 over the course of three bets. If you lose five bets in a row, which happens all the time in BJ (4.0% probability or once every 25 hands) then under your strategy you would be down $125 and your next bet would be $40. If you win that sixth hand you are still down $85 and then you go back to the $15 minimum? You may have to explain this logic. Martingale systems are a well proven loser, but your modified negative progression system sounds even worse.

If I win a hand, I progress bet. If I catch a hot streak, I’m playing to win.

Only hunch play I make is if the dealer shows an 8, I’ll stand on 14-16. The dealer seems to bust more often than usual. Some guy told me this years ago and it pays off half the time.

That’s not a good strategy.

You need to learn about positive progression.

Treat blackjack like dating if she’s 18 or over it’s ok to hold if she’s 17 and younger let it go

Go to a 25 minimum double or single deck table and getaway from the idiots who don't have a clue on how to win.

Always play by the book when gambling. It's a game of chance. Odds are the only thing that matters


I just don’t get it. If you’re strictly going to play the odds, the odds are in the casino’s favor, so don’t play. Where’s the fun.

A friend was trying to get me to start playing blackjack. I watched him and everyone else at the table play by the rules and lose their arse. There was one real douchebag who kept coming back and betting big, and losing with attitude. Then someone at the table made an “off book” move ( think it was not splitting when he should have or something like that), and then the douchey guy got really pissed.

Nothing against gambling, but I’d have to play by feel and follow my hunches, not play the “odds”. And I’m a real mathematical genius, so if I wanted to learn the most efficient way to play, I could. But I’m not going to play by the book because it isn’t fun to me, and I’m not going to play my way and have to deal with pissed off people.

On the other hand, I play dollar slots because I enjoy it. Zero skill or strategy required. And I lose my arse every time.

Always split 9s, 10s, and faces. And double down for more on 13 since it’s my lucky number.
