Hey guys.
I just wanted to go over blackjack betting.
A lot of times you have a lot of people who they have their methods or systems or whatever
they want to call it on how to bet.
There are a couple of right ways to do it.
There are a couple of wrong ways to do it.
I am going into a few of the methods and you can use whatever is comfortable for you.
First up, you have a lot of people who do what is called flat betting.
They're in for $100 and thinking it doesn't matter what happens, win or lose they are
betting $100 every time, like $100, $100, $100.
A lot of times what you get also are people who they use a system, a really popular one,
called the Martingale System where basically you bet $100 and then say you lose the bet
and then you follow that up with a bet of $200.
Then if you lose that bet then you follow that up with a bet of $400.
That requires you to have a whole lot of money, one, and then two if you end up with a whole
string of loses then you are wiped out.
I wouldn't recommend that.
Instead, I would recommend two ways.
The simple way would be to use a high/low betting system.
Say if you are betting $100, you win your hand then the next bet you go to $200. $100
is your low. $200 is your high, as you keep winning $200, once you lose a hand you go
back down to $100.
That way you're trying to maximize the amount of money that you actually have out there
while you are winning and minimizing money while you are losing.
I just use the $100, $200 as an example.
For lower limits if you are betting $10, you could make that spread as wide as you like.
Whatever is going to make you feel comfortable.
If you want to bet $10 and say you win, then you go to $50.
Then you keep playing $50 until you lose then you go back to $10.
That's entirely up to you if you want to try it that way.
The way I personally play, I do progressive betting.
What that does basically is it maximizes on streaks that tend to happen in the game.
If things are going really well then I just keep betting and betting and betting.
One of the things with that, say if I'm betting $50 a hand, if I win two bets in a row, then
I start going up.
I go to $75.
Then I'll go to $100.
Then I'll go to $150.
Then I go to $200.
Then I go to $300.
The whole methodology behind this is that even if I could win all of these hands in
a row.
I bet $400.
If I were to lose, then I lose the $400 right here, but then this is all profit.
Then I would start back at $50 and then kind of work my way back up again.
I find that to be a very powerful system that works very well.
As far as your limits, a lot of times people are comfortable at a lot of lower limit players
will stop at $50. $50 is considered a big hand.
So, what a lot of times what people will do, people get up to $50 and start flat betting
at $50.
If that's what you are comfortable with then that's fine.
Once you're done, once you lose, then you drop down.
Personally, I just keep going until I am into betting thousands, $2000, $3000.
That's all personal preference there.
That's how you bet in blackjack.
