Still waiting for the no bust strat. Where you play perfect perfect, but re arrange the cards in the same exact way as you put them away. The play no bust to see how it matches.
You should have done two separate bets, but both are playing the same hand. One bet using the progressive style of betting and the other just using a minimum bet style. That way you can see which style would have won you the most.
I played this system a few months back. It definitely is dependent on win streaks. With a few double downs and lucky splits I ended up a good 300! However, tried it again the next day and lost. Just couldn't catch cards. It was a fun system to play and my go-to!
not sure why alex likes to play two hands instead of just one if the purpose is to show the strategy. Single hand will be easier to follow. Do find it useful if the second hand is used as a control, so we can see how well the strategy works vs someone that plays regularly.
im glad he uses two hands. One of them is up 240 the other is down 60 so we get an idea of the range. It would be nice if he had someone who could code and ran the strategy a million times for us but i guess then a lot of people would skip to the end
Playing this today for the first time. Turned 50 into 550 so far! Couple lucky blackjack part way up the chain. Super conservative but grinds out solid money!
This low risk betting strategy is currently helping me minimize my losses at a table that is bad beat after bad beat. So, I will give it props because of the fact that it has probably helped me from being down a lot more if I used my usual betting strategy right now. But I can also see how it would be tough to make money with this one, although I'm hoping to make it all the way up to the 8th step at least once!
The only thing I don’t like about this, is that you need to go on a really good run to win. In this vid you had some timely double downs and that’s what gave you some big wins. Even the single parlay trying to win 2 hands in a row is a tough one.
But that's Blackjack, or any betting really. Unless you know for certain that you are going to win the next hand and can bet big on that hand, you have to rely upon going on long runs to profit. This is especially important in flat betting blackjack. This system is good for maximizing on a long, but not super long run. The 1, 1 bet and the 5, 5 bet allow you to collect a little rather than just praying for a super long run. Cool system. Video liked for future reference b/c I'm not going to remember 1,1,2,3,5,5,7,9,10 in a few months, lol.
Michael Krusing yeah but it still requires you to win 5 hands in a row just to get to the 5 unit bet, that’s a tough thing to do. I played Tuesday night and never won more than 2 hands in a row, I did however lose 6 hands in a row, the last 3 I was dealt 19, 19, 20 and the dealer hit to 21 all three times lol
@@briandempsey4291 I've been there. I have won ten hands in a row and walked up to a $10 table w/ $100 and walked away empty handed 11 hands later. That's BJ.
The only way you minimize your risk, without putting in some extra effort and counting cards, is the lowest bet possible and basic strategy. You'll lose an average of 0.5% of whatever you bet long-term. The odds that you'll even get to the max 10 bet is 0.36%. And this 15 minutes of play is such a small sample size. The variance in a 15-minute session is too much to gauge if this is even a good system.
Except that you can not gain any edge by betting strategy. It's mathematically proven that "betting systems" of any kind are simply nonsense which is giving the player the feeling that he has a helpful systematic approach to the game which does not exist.
@@TheToasterbox: You're missing the point. Yes, you adjust your betting to the count. But changing your betting strategy does not turn negative EV to positive EV. In other words: What/how much you bet does not change a losing game to a winning game. You only win/lose faster or slower. Edge is gained by counting, not by betting.
@@nowakezoneforever6021: What is shown in the video simply does not work. The reason why Counters change their bet is that they know when they have the advantage (then they bet more) and when they are at a disadvantage (then they bet less). However, in this system, the player does not know when he has an advantage. His is betting _blind_ when it comes to EV. And as long as you are playing blind, no betting system in the world can overcome the house edge.
Wrong you’re forgetting entirely the role consciousness plays. The odds get tipped in the slightest when you can in your own consciousness can convince itself better than the dealers consciousness. That’s why some gamblers will focus on the dealer more than anything else.
Im learning to count cards and using videos like this to count but I just started, so hard at the beginning when it goes so fast, does it always go so fast in the casiono?
trying to learn this system. not sure why you had to go so fast, plus playing two hands makes it even more confusing. not a teaching video, its more of a showing video and hope you can keep up
Yea I was out there last year and played at a handful of casinos off strip and there are a couple that have pitch but I can't remember the names but I looked on Worldcasinodirectory.com and mapped out some casinos before I went. Hope that helps.
“Darn” not DAMN (see? No cursing), with this system you’d need to hire your personal Mathematician, just to keep track of the bet #s. Might as well learn to Card Count, it’s way simpler than this.! It’s brutal.

You should capitalize the first word and put a period at the end of the sentence. Then, use your brain and express a thought. It makes me wonder how long it will take for you to have an original idea. As to my last comment, I’m not holding my breath for your response.
At my casino the dealer’s gorgeous, effortless sweeping of cards would simply not be possible because of the goddamn progressive seven lights that are on the felt. Forget the betting system. This dealer is an absolute master.
It's amazing how gamblers will learn all these ridiculous systems that have no mathmatical sense to them, yet they won't just learn how to count cards. It truly is a mental illness.
I think they use the default H17 basic strategy with no deviations. It makes sense to do this since most people will have trouble just memorizing the basic chart. Authors be sure to correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.
at 4:50 you play a hand that has hard ten and hard 20. dealer has up card of ten. why does alex not hit on hard ten. I know its not a double but he didn't even hit and lost the had to black jack. I can also be pretty safe in assuming yall aren't counting cause you can barely keep track of the progression hahaha! Not trying to throw shade simply wondering love the videos!!
@@whaleyjc huh casinos round me play a little different. pay out blackjack as soon as it turns to the player and dealer doesn't deal a second card until after all players have either busted or stayed. Thanks for the explanation!!!! do you think rules at my casinos help or hurt my odds?

Also only played 1 hand instead
Dude, you got a great results in trading... Please, make more lessons about it
The “Star Fish” is similar to the “ Balloon Knot”
Interesting betting strategy...hit some small runs and cap the bleed...just set a win/loss limit and have some fun...

can you also have one stack, that just best the same amount the whole time? kind of a "control" stack? thanks,
We do that in future videos where we have a flat bet stack and the other one is the system! -- Alex
Frying my brain watching this lol
This is super easy, atm Im learning hi-lo counting, the technique isnt hard but the speed is hard
Bro says suck that basic strategy people while actually following basic strategy 😂
Im learning to count cards and using videos like this to count but I just started, so hard at the beginning when it goes so fast, does it always go so fast in the casiono?
Casinos fly bro. My math is better than most and it's quick as hell sometimes
I'm just a run of the mill gambler...love your videos..please keep them up!
Listen you drop the F bomb anytime you damn well please. If the watchers don’t like it tell them to leave! I love it because you keep it real!
Played 15 and lost it, but good to know about other betting systems.
I thought you always stay on a soft 18?
Most say to hit it. Myself all depends on what dealer card is showing.
Only on dealer's 7 or 8. You hit on higher cards and double down on lower cards.
There will periods where you won't have any winning streaks. So this system will not work either. I use Paroli system and target 3 winning streaks.
Damn remind me to never try this system
Will this progression work on roulette, like placing one unit on Dozen and one unit on Column?
Similarly to how it won’t work in blackjack it also won’t work in roulette
This too much to remember when DTF and no system, cep basic strategy and card counting works most of the time.
I like your guys videos one day I would like to try the 10 minute challenge
This one could have some merit assuming you can hit a few good streaks.
It was good.

Tell that to yourself lol.

6:24 - why didn't you hit the second hand sitting at 14 against a 5?
you assume the dealer has a ten, and the next card coming also a ten. they bust, you don’t.
honestly i didnt understand it
Does this work with other people on table too? Does the other people playing role matters?? Pls answer
Many simulations have shown that having other players at the table does not affect your odds at all.
Raising on -9 running :(
Gamblers gamble Players play.

Its chocolate starfish lol

I don’t get it. Why do you keep betting the same amount over and over. Isn’t your bet size supposed to change?
Omg no cursing
Nive video
No cursing allowed...? Family friendly censorship?
fuck

"I haven't LOST yet on this system, it's now my goto. I LOSE a little and win a lot. Perfect...
Ok let me try and digest this statement
Try a 2,3,4 start with 10 win go to 15 win go to 20 after 20 I drop back to 10 if I loose I go back to 10 in an hour I went from 300 to 850
You was staying too much in the beginning with 13,14,15 you dont stay in those numbers
Just tried this betting system yesterday and ended up doubling my money. I'll update as I continue to lab the system.
5:10 "suck that basic strategy" , yet hit on 12 with dealer showing 2 literally is basic strategy lol.
And so is staying on 15 and 17 after.
