This time, I didn't get that I don't play like that but this was definitely a shoe where I was pressing to a couple thousand a hand.īut the key - again - was to LEAVE after this shoe. In the old days I would have cleared easily a half million on a shoe like this. Since I'm a believer in streaks, I would additionally press into each bank run.

I find a 1,2,3,3,3 progression mildly amusing. More exciting, but likely to shorten your session is any kind of progression. The 'best' way of extending your session is to repeatedly min bet on banker: BORING. So your best chance of not losing your bankroll is to not bet. Nothing you do by way of changing betting levels can make any difference to the house edge.Īverage total loss = Sum(wager amounts) x house edge There are ways of interpreting your questions. Does shuffling after each hand versus after each deck versus shuffling at the end of a six deck shoe affect the odds?Īny input would be appreciated.
