Go into Caesar's Palace and deposit $64K at the cage. Then, find the casino manager, show him the deposit slip, and explain your plan to him. You will have absolutely no problem getting a special table set aside for you, with a $15 minimum and a $50K maximum. He'll even make it a private table, if you wish.

(After all, your plan is SO brilliant that the stupid casino will NEVER figure it to work. I'm SURE no one has ever thought of this before, so you should be able to catch them completely off guard, NO PROBLEM! :rolleyes:)

Don't you think he should use at least some cover? zg

The way you want to play is called Martingale and it's not a good betting strategy. Someone said it here you'd lose 15 hands in a row every 300 hours, right? If that's the case, you'll lose 64k in 300 hours. But you know what's the worst part is? It's going to take you like 1000 hours to make 64k using martingale.

So, if you do this have you thought about where do you stop?

Its not much different than just putting the whole $64K on 1 hand. But what if you win?

Do you stop right then? Probably not. But at some point you will lose it all if you don't stop.

Card counters don't have to stop playing because they expect to win more than they lose.

The long run is in a card counter's favor, but is a progressionist's worst enemy.

The casinos should love martingale bettors if they are smart. The table limits are set up in ratios of bet minimum to maximum so as to make sure they are comfortable with any progression system(martingale being one they see alot of).

If you really want to bet into the stratosphere to grind out a small profit look at my post in the thread "HOW WOULD THIS STRATEGY NOT WORK". The strategy I outline as a martingale alternative has all the same risks as the martingale but greatly averages them over time.

When you treat surrendered hands as full loses your return on a successful visit to the stratosphere would be big assuming you surrendered a big hand. The grind is slower but since you seem happy to risk a huge amount of money on such progressions, the huge leap in return on these successful visits toward the table limit might make the overall rate of return prior to the expected megaloss(in either case) higher in general. It should atleast make the megalosses far more infrequent.


My advice... dont play either because eventually(it may take a long long time) you will lose your 64000 plus whatever profit you have made along the way.
