Sure, you could sit down to play Blackjack and just
throw your money around. But, did you know that
you're most likely to lose money even if you have
more winning hands than losing ones? Before playing
Blackjack, it's best to come up with a battle plan.
You've got to attack the game.
Today, I'll show you one attack plan. It's a
progressive (or ladder) system that changes your
wager just about every hand. This is not a plan that
increases your wager when you lose, because that's
the wrong way to do things. Rather, we'll increase
the wager with each winning hand.
You need to decide on the numbers and how many
progressions to use. I'll give you a guide to start
from. Let's imagine that you have $100 to play with.
You should play $2-$5 hands normally. So, we'll base
our start at $5.
The plan is simple. When you lose, your next hand is
$5. You never increase your wager after a losing
hand. Instead, you start over again. When you win,
you'll be increasing your hand as follows:
5 - 10 - 20 - 40 - 80
I've set up five levels. If you win five hands in a
row, rather than having $25, you'll end up with $160
or more-blackjacks. However, if you were to lose say
five in a row, you've only lost $25.
If you're a very conservative player, step it down
to 3 or 4 levels. Even at 3 levels, you can still
pocket $40 instead of $15.
As to double downs, that's a call you'll have to
make based on your bankroll. Let's imagine that
you've won your first four hands. You have $80 on
the table and receive an 11. If you double down,
it's a bad move. Why? Adding $80 would mean your
entire bankroll is on this one hand. Lose it and you
go home. Not smart.
However, let's say it's later in the game and your
bankroll is now $500 or so. Adding the $80, which is
profits at this point, might be a good gamble. It's
a moment-by-moment decision.
No matter how you play it, never risk most or all of
your bankroll on any single hand. Also, should you
get up by 2-3 times your original bankroll, put that
original amount back in your pocket and make sure
you leave the casino with it.
Blackjack, and gambling, can be fun, but strategy
ensures that you maximize your chances to win and
come home with cash.
