Betting Strategy Rules

The following rules will be used regardless of the level of play you choose.

1. Always start with the lowest bet in the betting series. When first beginning a game, only pro wager at the lowest level in the betting series until you have a win. If you lose the first three hands in the betting series, the game is over.

2. After winning a bet at the first or second level of the betting series, parlay the bet for the next wager.

3. Bets are raised one level after losses. They are lowered one level after one win, or two levels after two consecutive wins or wins in two out of the last three plays.

4. Wins and losses from blackjacks, splits and doublings are ignored in picking the level of bet. If, for instance, you are wagering at the third level and have a blackjack, your next bet will be a second level bet unless you have won two out of the last three bets. In other words, winning more on a hand because of a blackjack, a split pair or a double down, will not cause you to reduce your next wager any more than the standard rules call for.

5. If a parlay wins, betting resumes according to the standard rules for the betting series. If a parlay loses, the next wager is based on the level of wager parlayed not the amount wagered with the parlayed bet. If you parlay a winning level two bet and lose the parlay, the next wager

will be a level three bet.

Once you hit your target win for a game, the standard betting rules are modified. Parlays are eliminated or reduced and the number of betting levels you will use is reduced. We will have more on this shortly.

Target: Gambling Profits

You should never sit down and start playing a game without having a target profit in mind. This profit goal should be about 25% of your required buy-in. A $5 bettor's required buy-in is $200. However, I have hinted very strongly that you should consider using the higher suggested buy-in figure of $400. If you take my advice and use the higher amount, as a $5 bettor you will have a target profit of $50 (0.25 x $200), which is only 12.5% of your actual buy-in. Does this seem easy to hit? Of course it is.

Now your goal will seem even easier to attain. Just make 12.5% of your actual buyin and then start using our strategies to protect your profits. I am sure you recognize that I am just playing a numbers game here, but doesn't it make your target profit seem even easier to hit? The table below shows the target profit levels for each suggested buy-in amount
