Brad I only lose the amount I wanted to play. If your base unit is $10 then $210 should be base bankroll. When you lose that leave, and come back another day. If you double it, leave and come back another day. You can’t force the cards to do what you want them to do.

Mark: At what point do you stop increasing your bet. I tried this system for fun and made it up to betting 12 units at $10 per unit. I was down $1,000 in no time flat.

Thanks

I have been using this system online and at the local casino recently before googling and trying to come up with a name for it. I called it the “step-down negative progression”. It has also been successful for me.
The mods I do to it is using the blackjack machines with the video dealer that way no worrying about tipping and having all rules spelled out: ie surrender, double after split, split any pair, etc… Also playing 3 hands at a time help smooth out the variance. If I win 2 out of 3 hands no increase, lose 2 out of 3 and begin the progression. A push, 1 win, 1 loss = rebet last amount.

I have done fairly well with your system, and really appreciate you sharing it! I have used a regular D’Alembert for several years, but your “Power Triangle” is much better! The guys at blackjackinfo.com think card counting is the end-all to gambling, and it has never worked for me!

Let me know if you have made and improvements…etc..any win goals…loss limits..etc

Thanks again for sharing

Regardless of the system if you hit a bad grind you are going to lose. There is no system out there that can overcome 32 loses in a row. The house has an edge, and you will not get back down to your base bet. That’s why I go for no more than triple your buy-in. Double is more reasonable. Play a session, if you win leave, and if you lose leave. Keep up with it. I’ve done well with this system, but there is no guarantee you’ll have the same results.

Mark, I like your system. Is there some point where you stop or reduce your bet? If you have a bad streek, lets say you get lopsided and get to betting 15 units, it does not seem like a good risk to double down and loose , now you have to win an extra 15 hands to bet back even. the incremental gain does not seem justifiable. I understand the reason to reduce 2 when you win with a double down or a BJ and to count net winns on a split. makes sense. Just struggling with the maximum upper limit when you get ina bad grind.
