Don't play blackjack.... It possible to lose more than 10 times in a row win once then lose another 10 times. Don't think you can break the house. Proof of what happens when you do http://imgur.com/a/CO0kV

alot of its how you play somedays you will have constant losses on those days cash out live to fight another day.



some people look at the casino stock if its going up there making money which means people are losing if the casino is losing players are winning money.

this is more averaged just because the casino is going in the red does not mean its a sure thing.

ive won BIG when the casino was in the green and won big when its in the red although my win lose rates have usually went hand in hand with the stock. so my rule is to bet modestly in green bet hard in red.

in green make a quick mill and leave before its to late for you

red ive still been down alot but have been able to come back from it same day.

but even playing safe like that is never 100% sure thing



dont be greedy! your 29k networth tells the story you got greedy. rebuild and play safe or dont play bj at all.

To say I got greedy is kinda wrong... That would imply that I had won/winning at some point. I made bets worth a few millions which seemed like nothing to me at the time and figured I'd win big in my next game because I lost a few hands but I was wrong on that. I kept that way of thinking up and went to chase my losses but betting more each time. When I finally did win it wasn't anywhere near enough to cover my losses and so I decided to continue playing. Shortly after I had lost everything so to imply I got greedy is wrong. I simple got stupid.... I believed I would see some victory after a lot of losing and betted on that. I made this thread so that no one has to suffer the same fate I did.

Also I kinda don't feel like rebuilding at least any time soon because I made that money from poker which really is the only thing I can make money from but I can't be bothered to start again from a 29k table and it would still take a while to get back even if I had a few millions. This whole blackjack incident has totally demoralized me and crushed my TC spirit....

how much money did you hold on hand when playing? ive found holding say 100mill on hand and betting low like 1-8% (1-8mill) has higher success than say holding 10mill and betting the same dollar amount 1-8mill ive always noticed higher success for betting a low % based on what im holding currently. so if you had say 10mill 1mill (10%) would be the cap i would do.

also if lets say you have 10/5 dealer is showing 10/J/Q/K/A he usually wins 95% of the time or more especially when betting higher % of my on hand money fold reduce my bets.

going bigger and bigger will result in more loss my success that ive had in that situation is having enough money to last until i hit a streak which could take awhile ive been down 200mill and came back and came out 100mill ahead but i had enough money to chase it.

i dont go big any more at the end you will lose no matter what if you do want to play you will eventually get a big pay day 200-300mill maybe more but thats when you cash out.



ive made and lost billions over the last 10 years.



i have alot of taboo things i believe in in the gameplay itself like exact amount of cash and a specific way of betting based on the number of cash i have on hand ill give a example if i have 29mill ill bet atleast 5mill because i tend to win if my second digit is 9 if i bet enought to get over the 30mill hump say i win and have 34mill now i bet 3mill or less to keep myself atleast 1mill from my last 10mill mark and then if i make it to around 39-40mill i start back over at 5mill regardless of what i was betting to get over the hump.

i could go on and on about that but i wont that is just a tactic that works for me personally i have other little things i have to do as well =p

one more thing. you said you lost more than 10 times in a row was you hitting on 12+ on each of those hands?



i would assume you would have a wide range on those 10+ hands but lets say you had 12 hit got a 5 =17 hit got a 8 and bust depending on what the dealer has you may have been better off assuming in a hold/stand if the dealer shows 7 or less you should assume a 10/A is face down so 17 or less so on the hand im talking about you would stand on 17.

im not trying to questions you knowledge of BJ even tho i do not know what you know but ive never lost 10+ hands in a row and i dont see how its possible unless your hitting for 21 every single hand regardless of how close you are to 21 without considering what the dealer has based on the card you can see. i mean in theory you could win with 3+5=8 if you think the dealer would bust.
