So say I start with 1000 dollars. Bet 5 dollars a hand. When I lose, I double the bet, meaning that the loss is recouped. If you lose twice, double it again, betting 20. Keep doubling until you win, and you are back to even plus your original bet. Foolproof?
Because the chances of losing 6 or 7 hands in a row is so slim, there is little to no chance of losing.
Tell me what you think.
that is very risky, it is very possible to loose 7 straight hands. a better idea would be to get a betting chart for black jack, they are very common and often come free wiht a set of chips, it tells you what the best way to play in a given situation, for example when to hit, stay, double down, split and so on. it is made to give you the best statistical chance of winning without actually bending the rules (card counting, ect.)
NO! You will lose early in the night and will be wandering around wondering ‘what happened?’ Here’s why. What you are describing is the Martingale system and it is exactly as you describe…bet small, lose double, lose double, win go back to the original wager. Okay in your example you start with $5 and have a bankroll of $1000. First of all the bankroll you are starting with is about $5,000 too small. You bet $5, lose $10 lose, $20, $40, $80, $160, $320 now you are out of money. What if you had more money? You still could not continue because of the table limits will be $5-$300 or maybe $500max. What do you do if that $320 hand is a pair of 8s? Get a loan for the split, just hit it, or do you get scared and just stay against a ten? Do yourself a favor and just play with a standard progressive system of betting. Good luck!
with a large bankroll i think this is a good strategy, im gonna try it online (for play money) when i get home. Bodog casino has a fun play money casino.
Good luck.
the house always wins how do you think they make money, and you can lose 6-7 hands easily ties go to the dealer.
Doubling the bet will lead to big losses, say you lose 5 times in a row, then you have to be so much money and you can still lose.
this is the old martingale scale… i know it’s easy to implement, but it involves quite a high risk for really low profits. I suggest you look over this article for some blackjack strategies you should rather use. Start with the basic strategy and than move to more advanced ones, and even try to combine them in order to get th best outcomes

No betting systems work. One of two things can happen with this strategy. Your bankroll will run out before you win, or you reach the table maximum. It is a big risk for such a little win, because when you do win you will only win $5. For more on betting systems go to http://wizardofodds.com/gambling/bettingsystems.html. Also, if you do think you can find a winning betting system, I suggest you go to http://vegasclick.com/gambling/betting-system-challenge.html.

the question is where do you stop you have to look at gambling as entertainment dont buy anymore entertainment than you can afford.

Double Up Catch Up only works in Sports wagering. Take 3 teams in football that are projected to go 8-8 and bet on the money line doubling until they win.
