I read that there is only a 24% chance of winning 2 hands in a row while playing BJ. Winning more than 2 in a row is even worse odds. When i play BJ, i push 1/2 my winnings from first bet and keep 1/2. If i win that 2nd hand, then i go back to my original minimum bet. Example - Start with 2 green chips($50) then push 1 green chip and keep one. If i win 2nd hand in a row then i go back to minimum bet of 2 green chips($50) I don't win a ton of money, but i found i don't loose as much with this strategy and i last a lot longer at the casino with this conservative strategy. Is there any way of figuring out the math over a long term of using this strategy?

Add up your bets, and deduct the house edge. Altering an individual bet doesn't matter.

I like longer progressions, but I can't get behind betting too high because splitting and double downs at high bets can upset the gains from the previous wins in a row and dig a big hole in the session money. I'd save the higher bet progressions for single bet games like the Pass Line or Baccarat.

Your strategy sounds smart for managing losses and preserving your bankroll. By pushing half your winnings, you reduce risk and can play longer. While blackjack odds are tough for consecutive wins, this approach balances caution and reward. It would be interesting to analyze the long-term math behind it for sure!
