Lauren-Walt's method...This is for the $10 table. 10-15-20-25 and stay with 25 until a loss. It is a postive progression, you only increase your bet on a win. Anytime you lose a hand, you start it over. He also says to leave the table after four straight losses. Hope this helps. |

Hey guys....can someone please let me know what Walter Thomason progressive betting strategy is in his book Twenty-First Century Blackjack: A New Strategy for a New Millennium? I cannot find this book anywhere and I'm going to Atlantic City this weekend so I don't have time to have it shipped to me. Thanks so much.

crackerjacky - another thing you can do is to lower your minimum bet. You can go alot farther and grind your way back at $25/hand versus $50/hand, $10/hand versus $25/hand, etc. |

Hey Bughouse, That would certainly be a bug, and I have not heard of that one yet. I'm guessing, however, because of the 1000s of games people play a day without seing this bug, that it is either unique to your computer, or that you misread/miscounted something. If you are certain this bug is happening, give me an email. |

When I reach my loss limit, I retire somewhere for a cup of coffee and record everything about a session in a little notebook. It gives me something to do when I'd rather be playing more bj (and losing more $), gives me a chance to consider if I made an obvious mistake staying in as long as I did, becomes a bit of a reward in itself for having the determination to get up and leave. I do the same thing when I reach my win limit. (Tho if I'm really on a roll, I stay in as long as I can and still leave with at least 2/3rds of my winnings.) Got these ideas from reading Jerry Patterson's "Winner's Handbook," a book about which I'm otherwise ambivalent. If I'd known how much discipline bj takes, I might have gone back to long distance running (hah: who am I kidding?)! |

Bughouse, click (above) on "about Hitorstand", then send your question to Neil at his email listed there. He is the man to talk with about bugs in the program. |

Yeah, I would appreciate it if someone would answer MY question... what's up with hitorstand's program? Like I said if I either hit OR stand on a hard 12 against their 2 it always counts it wrong... is this just a bug or what?! |

Bankroll* Total Bankroll =Money that you can comfortably afford to lose. Trip Bankroll = Money taken from the total bankroll for this trip. Session Bankroll = Money we are willing to lose in "one" session. Set a realistic win goal. Wanting to win $2,000 with a $2 bet is unrealistic...Lets say your Total Bankroll is $5,000. (this will be different for all players, this is just an example) You decide to use $2,000 of that, for a Trip Bankroll. Of that $2,000 you have to decide what you Session Bankroll will be. A $500 session limit would give you four sessions. A $400 session limit would give you five sessions. A $200 session limit would give you ten sessions. You then set the win goal, basied on the session buy in. It does NO good to set a loss limit, IF you do not have the discipline to "Stop" when you reach it. With a loss limit, you servive to play again, another day. With a win limit, you are not the guy walking out the door broke saying, "I should have quit, when I was ahead " |

Thanks, Phil. I started with $1,500. & was down $1,400. After going thru the "yoyo" many times -(good shoe/bad shoe)- with a chance to get out at Minus $900 at one point-- was still loser $1,400. after 2 hours. So, what you are telling me is DECIDE what my loss LIMIT is & stick to it and don't worry about the "time" element. Now, if my loss limit is "0", (smile), my trouble may be just as sure as the person who does not know how to quit when they are winner, but will continue (due to greed) to try to pile up more winnings, right? |

Crackerjacky - I agree with you that knowing when to quit is the biggest secret to winning at BJ. I always go into a session with a win/loss limit and stick to it. Without discipline, you will lose. I have seen many a player get greedy and lose back all of their winnings and then some. As to your scenario, how much did you start with? If you started with $10,000 and are down $1400 it is a very different situation than if you started with $2000. Again, I say stick to your win/loss strategy. I have played many times where I started with $1,000 and went as low as $100 but end up walking away with $1500. You just never know what the next shoe will hold. |

So, here is the scenario: you are down $1,400. After hanging in there for endless shoes, the most you can recover is about $500. But that goes quickly & dealor puts you back in minus $1,400. column. The session has lasted for about 2 hours. What do you do? Get out and take your loss? The most difficult part of this game is knowing when to take your loss/win and GO! My experience so far tells me to take the "best" loss I can & get out. Anyone have a response to this? |
