BPing for yourself

[squeeks]

Bet 1u for waiting bets and 10u when the count is over +2. In my testing of of this at home playing heads up,and hi-lo it seems towork pretty good. It is like being the spotter and bp all at once. Would I be crazy to try this in a casino? Do you think there is a good expectation in this?

Things that "work pretty well at home" don't always work so well in the casino. :laugh: However, in theory this should work. minimum bet while waiting. Your biggest or max bet as soon as you have an advantage. Problem is, if you place your max bet with such a tiny advantage, the variance will be tremendous! You will need a huge bankroll to survive this. Also not even attempting to camouflage what you are doing, you better keep your sessions very short.

You'd want an increased bet at +2, but not max bet (save that for +5 or so).

But sure, what you're describing is solo counting. People do it all the time. Some of them do it successfully. Some don't even get caught!

Does it bring in good returns?

If you're talking about a 10x spread in a shoe game... No.

Thanks for the input on that. What do you guys think about 1u for waiting bet 10u at +2 and 20u at +3. would that bring good returns? I`m open for suggestions.

No books on the type of play I am talking about in this forum.

you might want to pick up a book or two, very cheap, which will outline the exact question you're asking (i.e. ramping bets, or the "all in approach" at TC = +X). it's been covered before, KO-Blackjack is one instance.
