How rare to win 15 straight sessions ?

[mikeinjersey]

Been on a bit of a posting frenzy today, but I promise this'll be the last one of the day.

I've done it twice this year on 2 different occasions. I start with a high bankroll upfront, which is the biggest contributor to help my odds. (duh)

And use a pattern based slow-negative-progressive martingale system. (very conservative one)

But basically my question is what the Title says. How rare is it to win like this ?

When I say sessions... i'm talking about when i'm in & out. If I reach my goal in 30 minutes...then i'm out in 30 minutes....if it takes 4 hours, then i'm out then. , etc etc.

I've done it once in my short 17 month career

No progession, no stop loss/stop win. Just plain old counting (well almost). Was an unreal streak of positive variance, and a real boost to the BR.

Be patient, with your Skillz I am sure that it will happen again very soon.

Fifteen sessions is not that rare for a negative progression player. The frequent winning sessions are the main reason that people use progression systems. Some people are willing to risk losing more money in return for a better chance of winning the next session. They will lose more money overall, but they have a fighting chance on any given day.

I don't feel as special anymore...

Don't feel too bad

Most of us aren't as special as we think. Although we are all important and unique creatures. Well atleast most of us are....

How much of a disadvantage to you play at? Negative progressions win most of the sessions by far. zg

What if I win on 20 straight sessions ?

I have a 49% chance on each hand...yet i've won on 15 straight sessions on 2 different occasions !

c'mon... somebody tell me i'm special.

Then you win on 20 straight sessions. Sorry, but there's no blackjack award for winning the most consecutive sessions, at least none that I'm aware of. Winning is a reward in and of itself. You seem to be rather an insecure individual looking for recognition from anons in cyberspace. Furthermore if you win as often as you say you have, posting such success stories here may well get you 86'd where you play. If the powers that be view these forums they no doubt will have little trouble figuring out who you are, since they already no doubt know that you win almost every session. And if they see you here encouraging others to use your system, and boasting about it, that could very well be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Sorry, the most we can say is that you’re a unique individual…….. just like everyone else!

As Sonny mentioned, it’s not that hard to manufacture a string of winning sessions if you play until you’re ahead, and then end the session. I think sagefr0g might hold the record for this. I can’t remember exactly, but it might have been 30-something consecutive winning sessions.

Special in a short bus sort of way, perhaps.:devil:
Winning 15 session in a row using a modified martingale is not that out of the ordinary. Answer this question- if your next session turns out to be a losing one, how much of your winnnings go down the drain?

Is that really what you want?

never have really dabbled much with progressions, but i'm one heck of a stop win guy, lol.
looking back in my records i did have 37 consecutive winning sessions, funny thing too was that 37 consecutive winning sessions could of been 57 consecutive winning sessions if it had not been for a single session of which i lost $2.50 .:laugh:
this was back when i was working really hard at playing as a 'proper' card counter. so i would basically do everything correct, no funky progression, but yeah, really i played a 'special' way, lol, the chicken sh!t approach, lmao. i would almost always make a concerted effort to quit when i was ahead. anymore, i don't really play much blackjack, don't usually properly count, just try and see if i can tell how rich in hi or lo cards the remaining pack is to where i'll take a few shots at higher bets if i think there is any advantage. still use the chicken sh!t approach, ie. i know the stats pretty much for a perfect card counter for some given amount of time or hands played, sorta thing, so if i'm happy with some small amount of money won, i'll likely quit. then try again later, sorta thing.
results, for what they are worth (nuthin probably) have been pretty much break even, thing is though from time to time it all might put some money in my pocket when other 'stuff' i do is slower than usual.
lol, i can't really remember but i'd be willing to bet that on that $2.50 loser session, it was probably a roller coaster of a ride sorta day, probably i ground my way back up to just $2.50 down and quit sweating i'd end up losing another dollar if i'd of kept on playing.:laugh:
whatever i'm still learning, like there really is no such thing as a session, they are just illusions. http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bb/showpost.php?p=204398&postcount=12

I would say not too rare. I started my career on the river boats with 200 and grinded my way to 32k in approx 8 months. I started reading more and more, trying to get creative and even tried counting. The more i learned, the less my results. I now play purples and play for minimum time. My last trip to AC netted 9k in 3 minutes. Im not one to sit at these smoky tables and grind for hours. My philosophy, as long as your up, you cant lose

You are a wise man.

My friend and I play a martingale on a roulette table for lunch.
We each put up $50 and play one color for $25. If we win, we go buy the $12.95 lunch buffet and eat for free. If we lose, we bet another $25. If that wins, we start over. If it loses, we bet $50. If that loses, we skip lunch.
We had about a dozen free buffets before we lost our original $50 investment. It was a fun, but stupid adventure.
Most progressions will allow you a number of small wins, but the one loss will kill you.
If you are betting $5 and have a stop point of $25 ahead, you'll hit it quite often, but if you have a negative stop loss of $1,000, you need to win 40 times for each losing session.
