The truth is that they have experienced some temporary highly positive variance one or two standard deviations above the norm and will come back down if they play more hands. I see many posters that are superstitious and think just because they have their own anecdotal success, that they have secret formula. This will increase the variance, and increase the house's take. You are likely increasing your bet when it is the house has an edge (which is usually does). The problem with increasing your bet like you described is that it is not tied to any advantage increase. Basic strategy assumes only the information present in your hand and the dealer's up card. In order to do that, you have to gain additional information through various methods. It is disadvantageous to the basic strategy player because csms deal more hands per hour.Įveryone wants to come up with some sort of betting scheme to beat the game. You would have to hole card or use some other advanced method. If there are only continuous shuffling machines, that is going to be difficult to beat. By limiting your playtime you are limiting variance, which is good.
