My Bet Ramp

[Adam N. Subtractum]

I must beg to differ...

In my opinion, 1-5 is a very aggressive spread (for SD), and unnecessary if you use a good set of indices. Also your point about playing having more of an impact than betting, would only be true with a VERY timid spread (definitely not 1-5) and a deeply dealt game (at LEAST 7 rounds). See Griffin's TOB page 28 for info.

ps: I couldn't see Mr. Roger's spreadin' more than 1-3...;-)

Look at the evidence *LINK*

The charts in the link below measures maximum possible EV relative to the max bet. In a deeply dealt single deck game with good rules, the betting gain is trivial!

I should qualify this

I strictly play the downtown garden variety SD H17 games, where RO6 normally applies...sometimes I get more. I use UAPC with all the indices (except unreasonable splits) and a side of aces, I'm also working to perfect a blocked multiparameter side with 25 indices or so. Perfecting this count is more valuable than a 1-5 bet spread given the game I play.

I haven't played in a while because on-line is so lucrative right now, that it's hard to justify jetting out west to actually gamble (which I hate to do) on a finite trip.
