Often I get asked what's a safe amount of $ to bring to the casinos by newbies.
Here are some rough figures for ROR on a $400 bankroll with a 6 deck S17 game playing 40 rounds/hr for 5 hours with a $10 min bet. Assume you're flat betting for basic strategy
Just playing with basic strategy, your risk of ruin is---- 1.49%
Counting with a spread of 1-4 and your max bet is $40 at TC=+3 ----16.210%
Counting with a spread of 1-3 and your max bet is $30 at TC=+3 ----7.267%
Same as above with 1-4 spread except you wong out at TC<0 ---12.307% Same as above with a $15 min bet= 29.33%
At a $15 table using just bs --- 10.2%
At a $25 table using just bs --- 33.632%
