I have played the simulator on this site long enough to learn fairly good, but not perfect BS, and realize Martingale will easily blow a $1,000 bankroll at a $25 min table (ok any amount at any table). I also have no faculty for math or statistics and would have to committ a tremendous amount of time to be a decent advantage player, much less one who isn't obvious. I was in Vegas for a trade show and decided to see what would happen with $500 to risk, prepared to quit entirely when that was gone. I wound up with four winning sessions of 30-45 minutes each, stopping when I doubled my stake at each session for a total win of $2100. I was play 6-deck shoes at the Paris-dealer hits S17. My betting pattern was that I increased the minumum flat bet to $50 when I was ahead and doubled that amount after a loss once in a while, but went back to flat betting $50 if I lost the $100. It was the opportunity to double when I was betting $50 that allowed me to quit ahead in each session. Would a small-time player like me who maintains the discipline to quit when the starting stake for a session is either lost or doubled eventually be disinvited when it's becomes evident you're not staying with it long enough for house odds to rule out? Would playing with a larger stake but following the same betting strategy draw more attention? Or it this just a matter that I had four consecutive lucky sessions and should either learn card counting or stop fooling around?
