I have grown my bankroll considerably in the past month. It was $2k, and now it's sitting near $5k. I had been pushing a red chip spread.. on 6 and 8 deck shoes. But for double or single deck, I have been pushing green units. Is this a good idea? I am averaging about $600/week in blackjack winnings. Had some negative swings but always recovered.
Just outta curiousity... Is this a good idea?

No, doesn't sound good. Your max bet should not exceed $50 or you are courting disaster. I asume you are counting, correct? zgPreston said:
Counting yes. Wonging out of Neg shoes, but rarely wonging in as I have been playing a lot where the tables sit near full. I was trying it as I don't have to make as big a spread at the lower number of decks. Generally have been doing a 1-10 for 6 decks vs 1-6 for 2 decks.zengrifter said:

It sounds like you had a run of good variance aka "luck".
What's the most you've lost before another win? Multiply that by 3. Then multiply that by the amount you want to increase your max bet. Is it more than $5,000?
In other words, betting over $50 is courting a very high risk of ruin.
