Hey Wizard
I have a question that I hope you can answer:
Imagine that you are engaged in a game of two participating, where you decide how much there is betting and there is a 50% chance of winning and 50% chance of losing. Your opponent is forced to bet as much as you each time a game is conducted and the winner gets the pot. It may be tempting to repeat the bet double the one lost the last game until you win, so that you make sure that you get a prize at the end. Explain that this is a good strategy if there is a limit to how much you can bet, but the expected gain from the implementation of this strategy is zero penny if there is a limit to how much you can bet.

I'm afraid that I don't understand the question.

I think he wants to know if he should martingale a 50/50 proposition.
Not sure what that has to do with BJ though.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

Obvious. With BlackJack, you win or you don't :o)

Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.

A fool finds no satisfaction in trying to understand, for he would rather express his own opinion.
