Black Jack Strategy.
Every gambler is expected to have their system, some logical mathematical way of out smarting a game of chance, so I thought long and hard and came up with one for playing Black

Maximizing your Complimentaries
As you can expect, if you play games in a casino, the casino management will want you to stay as long as possible and if you ever leave, to come back and come back soon, especially if you play the slot machines or bet large at table games.
High-rollers are the cream of the crop when it comes to casinos. These individuals are the bread and butter that pay for all the lights and fancy carpets with their large "donations" to the casino. So, how do they get you to stay? Give you free rooms. How do they get you to come back? Feed you, treat you like Royalty, give you drinks, and gifts. Wouldn't it be nice to get this kind of treatment without having to loose your money first? Read on.
The Master of Blackjack Ken Uston described in the best book ever written on the subject called "Million Dollar Blackjack" how a person can live high on comps simply by learning to play Basic Strategy and betting $100 hands. The logic there is you are so close to even that over the long run it will cost you less to play large than it would to pay for your rooms and food etc. and only bet $5 or $25 hands. You need about $10,000 behind you to cover the ups and downs, but you will look and be treated like a big shot as your interest payments for that money. In fact, all you need is a line of credit for that money and you can keep your cash in the bank at the same time making real interest. Does it get any better? Sure it does!
The Oldest System in the World
The Martingale. Don't run away, I'm not crazy. If you don't know what the Martingale is, let me explain that it is a system that requires a player to double each bet after a loss. This is a very dangerous proposition in the fact that it can wipe all your money out with a long string of losses. What I have done is taken this rattlesnake of a system and pulled its teeth out. Combined with the idea of maximizing your comps with $100 hands played strictly by the Basic Strategy, I came up with this. Get on a table where the minimum is small, $5 for example. Start with the $5 bet and double if you lose, but never go above $100. I use the progression $5 - $10 - $25 - $50 - $100 and when I hit $100 I stay there until I am up one unit of $100. I protected myself from losing four hands of $100 before I got to the $100 bet, but I'm still looked at as a high rolling player because of the size of some of my bets. Split and double as required by Basic Strategy and keep your winnings to one side so you can keep track of how much you are ahead and when each progression is complete.
Enter the Count
There is nothing wrong with the above system on its own, but add a counting method to it, and it is the ultimate weapon. Systems don't work because they are played against games with fixed odds. Blackjack is not a game of fixed odds. When there are more 10s and Aces left in the deck than 2 to 6 cards, the players end up with an advantage, and they can play any system in the world at this point and expect to win money, as long as they play Basic Strategy that is. So how does a count fit in? .......(more)
