Managing Your Progression

Blackjack is a terrific game for working a progressive betting system That's because it is a very streaky game, and also because it has a very low house edge when played correctly. That is a perfect combination. What we want to do is win a whole bunch of chips if we can just get a little lucky streak going, but only lose a small percentage of that if we have a bad streak. If there are no streaks then we are content to lose the 1% or so house edge as we go back and forth.

Sounds pretty good, right? After all 1% is a pretty low take for the house. If we are betting $15 per hand and playing 50 hand per hour that is $750 wagered and the house is only expected to make $7.50 from that. Pretty cheap entertainment if you ask me. But what's more entertaining is trying to win a mess of chips, and about the only way to do that is up our bets as we are winning and try to catch a good run.

The backside to that is that we will lose more with this blackjack system than if the hands go win-lose-win-lose-win-lose for a extended period. This is because when we win we are upping our bet and never banking any money. So if that happens really what you are doing is losing losing losing, it just takes two hands for each loss. The good news is, that pattern is pretty rare. Like we said, this is a streaky game. There is always a pattern that can bust you when working a betting system, and when it comes to playing 21 I am willing to risk it on the back and forth pattern.

The first thing you need to do is know how to play the game. I am not talking about knowing how to hold your cards and double down. See that strategy card up above? You had better be familiar with playing correct basic strategy so you can keep the house edge down. If you don't play right they can have a 5 to 8% house advantage and that is just too difficult to go up against. Give yourself a fighting chance and learn to play a good game.

Then, it's a matter of trying to catch a good streak and pumping our bets when we do. Nothing is quite as cool as winning the large bet in a progression by being dealt a blackjack. So for this first blackjack system, we are going to take it easy and work a conservative progression that will keep us at the table for a while. Here is how to play the three piles system:

1. Make three equal stacks of chips in front of you. This should consist of no more than half of all your chips on the table, because you need the reserves for doubling situations. Take one of the three equal stacks you made and bet it.

2. When you win the first bet, double it for the next bet. If you doubled and won, or were paid odds on a natural blackjack, bank the extra chips. So for any win in the series double the original wager for the second bet in the progression.

3. When you win the second bet in the progression, take half of the amount you won and add it to the wager for the third and final bet in this 3-bet progression. Bank the other half of the amount just won. Again, bank any extra chips from winning a double or a natural.

4. If you win the third bet in the progression, make three new stacks of chips that are double the original stack's size and repeat the betting progression. (If you prefer, quit and cash in your winnings.)

5. If you lose a bet at anytime in the series, start over again. That means replace the bet with one of the remaining two equal stacks that you made to start with.

There you have it, a simple three-bet progression that keeps doubling in size every time you complete it. What you are trying to do is win three in a row before the dealer wins three in a row (or wipes you out with the dreaded win-lose-win-lose series). When things are going well you will quadruple your original bet size after winning two subsequent progressions. At that point you need to be careful that you have enough chips left to handle the doubling situations comfortably if you are going to keep at it.

For that reason you might want to slowly increase the betting stack sizes instead of keep doubling them. You need to keep enough chips in reserve for the doubles. You should also think about running with the win if you successfully complete three series, as you begin to tempt fate at that point.

To recap: Make three equal stacks from half your total chips or less. Bet one stack and if you win double the bet and if you win again put half on top. When you lose replace the bet with another of the stacks. When you win three in a row make three new bigger stacks and repeat. Consider running with a nice win after completing three successful progressions.

Have fun with the three piles blackjack system.
