I have a few questions for some of the more experienced players in here. I have been playing blackjack for about 2 years now using only BS and about 6 months ago started learning KO. I feel as though I have have it down very well but I'm unsure of what betting spreads I can get away with without drawing too much heat from the pit and eye in the sky.
I currently use 1-6 units for DD games and 1-12 on 6 deck games. I know this may seem somewhat conservative for many. My question is at what count do I raise my bets and what kind of ramp looks like "an average gambler"? It seems like in DD games the count is high for only a few hands and I want to take advantage of that but not be too obvious. Can I go from 1 unit to 4 units or is that too aggressive?
In 6 deck games in seems like maybe the last few hands are a decent count. If I have large bet out and a shuffle comes do I revert back to my smaller intitial bet or leave my big bet out there? And if so, how do I ramp back down to my smaller bet?
I realize that each casino is different in how they react to bet spreads and I also realize that I can get away with a more aggressive spread if I limit my time in one casino. I'm just wondering how you guys handle these things.
I think I understand bankroll and money management pretty well. Right now my large bet is 2% of my total bankroll. I think that this may be on the aggressive side but I can replenish my BR fairly easily if needed.
Sorry for the winded post from a newbie but here are my bet spreads I currently use for KO and would like input on if this is acceptable:
Thanks for reading and I look forward to constructive criticism!
