Double double BJ scheme
Simply double your bet when winning on the current shoe in double deck. Simple and works well on half way decent double deck tables. Have to take advantage of the good hand sequences to have a chance of winning and this does the trick for me.
Quote: KentryThe word "scheme" sounds way too much like "scam." Maybe "advantage" would be a better term. :)
Yeah, scheme always goes well with "Ponzi" or "Get rich quick" doesnt it?
This is a losing strategy, 100% guaranteed, or your money lost.Quote: dwmWhen I play BJ now, I play double deck with good rules. I bet $25 per hand. If winning on that shoe, I bet $50 per hand. If losing or even on the shoe then $25. Then start over after the next shuffle with $25 bets and increase to $50 bets if winning on the shoe..

scheme (skēm) n. 1. A systematic plan of action
However scheme really does have a negative connotation.

Don't be so hard. It may work .01 for a persons lifetime. After all EB says we will never live to see the long run.
More like .0000001 =D.Quote: GWAEDon't be so hard. It may work .01 for a persons lifetime. After all EB says we will never live to see the long run.
Yes, let's start quoting EB for guidance. Hell, let's start quoting PGD lol...
Blackjack "long run" ~= 100,000 hands. Quite finite and calculable ;-).
For non-counters looking for a new betting scheme and do not want to flat bet, this is worth a second look.
So then it has not done well for you so far... You've just been lucky so far =). It might sound like we're being tough, but people need to know it's not your "system" that's doing "well thus far," etc, it's the simple fact that you've had good variance (luck). You could be playing 'any' system and if you get lucky you get lucky. Thus it needs to be shared that people shouldn't buy in to the system just because someone was getting lucky regardless of the system.Quote: dwm...Did not say it was a winner, simply a way of playing that has done well for me overall, just lucky so far.
Quite wrong, with advantage play such as counting cards, and many other forms.Quote: dwmThe house always wins in infinity, right?

Ah....
We meet again.
Long run = 100,000 hands?
I got 300,000 the hard way.
Still ahead, still not convinced..
Still thinking......
I suppose to be more precise, the "long run" I'm referring to is when you can erase variance from the game and you're "mathematically guaranteed" to have some kind of profit... not necessarily realize your EV.Quote: TwoFeathersATLAh....

I will take any win after 300,000 hands, not many bj players are doing that.

DWM, nice of you to drop in.
I peaked your interest did I?
The short answer, really short answer, "not enough to pay the tips".
There is a longer answer, which I chose not to disclose.
I am still having fun, just tilting at windmills while searching for the Holy Grail.
Did I mention having fun?
It's just money, a rather arbitrary measurement in life, and often an illusion.
That is the way you should play the game.
Just my $0.02
