I just got an E-Mail from Jack X with the link to the sofware sales pitch, and it seems like a lot of airey hype. I'm actually averaging more than they say their system earns using a "no-brainer" method I've come up with over the past 4 months, so don't waste your money. And I'll give it to you for free. I've since seen a version of it on betting-systems.ws. I'm not a mathematician, but it's comforting to know someone else had discovered it too. It's called the D'Alembert system. Very simple, add one unit to your bet for each hand you lose, and subtract one unit from your bet each time you win. What I came up with is modified just a bit on how the wager is placed when I get close to my target, plus I set a stop loss. The description on the website says " You'd better set limits or you'll find yourself in outer space some day" and they are right. So, here's how I use this system.
1. Start with $1,000 and $1 or $2 units for your wager. If I'm using $1, I set my stop loss at -$100, then stop for a while if I reach it. That means the cards are running pretty heavily in the house's favor. If I'm using $2, I set my stop loss at -$400. I RARELY ever hit my stop loss. If I'm using $5, I set my stop loss at -$2,000, $10 at $5,000 and so on.
2. Set your target profit per round at whatever your unit bet is, or whatever you feel comfortable with after you have used this system for a while. Sometimes I'll set my target profit at 5X unit bet size. So, if I'm using $1's, the target is $5 per round. If I'm using $2's, target profit is $10. Of course, you can set your target profit at whatever you want it to be but you might find yourself wagering $50 and $60 hands in a losing streak and your bankroll will come down pretty fast. If you happen to have a $10,000 bankroll, it's no big deal since you will eventually make your target profit. You need to set you stop loss compatible with whatever your unit bet is. Experience will take care of that.
3. During the round, if my wager becomes more than my target, I reduce the wager to meet the target. For instance, lets say I've made $50 and my new target is $60. Lets say my wager is up to $9 (I've lost several hands) and my balance is $49. I win that bet, and my balance is now at $58. Since I won, my next wager would theoretically be $8, BUT since I only need $2 to meet my target, I reduce my bet to $2. If I lose, my balance is $56 and my next wager is $3. If I win, my balance is now $59 so I reduce my bet to $1. If I win, I've reached my target. My new target is $70, and I start over with $1.
I think you'll be amazed at how fast you can earn $100 on $1 bets!!!
4. Here's why I think this works so well. I use the autoplay function on Casino's that use Microgaming software (like Blackjack Ballroom and Challenge Casino). There are many out there, but these two are definitely my favorite. Their strategy tables are the best that you can find anywhere. I typically play only Atlantic City BJ and Spanish BJ. The Autoplay function ELIMINATES any mistakes you could make. And the strategy tables are not "skewed" in any way to give the house an advantage. You can prove it to yourself by running a few thousand hands in autoplay mode with $1 bets (logged in as guest of course). After a few thousand hands, you'll see that the account balance is within $5, $10, or $20 or so of your original starting balance of $1000. That's pretty fair.
Since any mistakes are ELIMINATED by using autoplay, the KEY to winning is the betting method. Oscars method works pretty well too and always wins, but drawdown is too big for my comfort and it takes longer to win a few thousand than with my method.
5. In a nutshell, here's my typical sequence of play. First, I log in as guest and run 500 hands through autoplay (set time between hands at 0 seconds), just to see how the cards are running. It takes about 5 minutes but it's worth it. If the cards are running crappy, I wait an hour or so. If they are running "normal" then it's time to play.
1. Log into Real account. (Get a guest account first to test this method and start with $1000). For $1 unit bets, have at least $1,000 balance in your account. You can still make it on $500 but if you just happen to pick two losing sessions in a row, you will be down to $300, and that's way too close for comfort!
2. Load Atlantic City BJ or Spanish BJ.
3. Click on Expert Mode, and Autoplay.
4. Set Autoplay to 1 hand.
5. Set your round target ($5 or $10 or whatever) ** The smaller your target, the easier it is to reach it, but it will take longer to make your Daily target (mine is usually $500 and takes about 2-3 hours using $1 bets. *** CRITICAL..... SET YOUR STOP LOSS AND STICK TO IT!!!! You will STILL get losing streaks of 7,8,9 or more, but with autoplay, it won't be because of a wrong decision or mistake when playing the hand. If the cards are running bad, you want to stop playing no matter what system you use. There will still be plenty of time to win.
WRITE your target down on a piece of paper. If you get into a long losing streak you will need it there to remember what it was when you get close to it again.
6. Bet 1 unit. Click Autoplay, Start. It will play the hand for you. If you lose, add one unit. If you win, you can't subtract a unit since you are already at the 1 unit bet level, so just Autoplay, Start again. Play (as described above) until you reach your target, set your new target and start with 1 unit bet again.
As your bankroll builds, you will be tempted to increase your unit bet size. Slow and steady will get you the income you want. After all, $500 a day is around $15,000 a month, or $180,000 a year. Yes, you can easily make $1,000 a day on $1 bets, but I encourage all of you to wait until your bankroll is at $10,000 before increasing your unit bet size to $10. There are many reasons for keeping your earnings down to a reasonable level, and those should be intuitive.
Hope that helps some of you gals and guys out there. It's a bit boring and won't give you the adrenalin rush like when you're "gambling" but you sure can make some money with it!! My system may be free, but it's priceless!!
