Before going for a game of blackjack it is advisable to
observe certain precautions before going for the bet this
will help you have a fair idea of how Intermediate Blackjack
is played or the modus operandi of the game.
Some important blackjack strategies are as follows
1. Your minimum bet made in a favorable shoe will always
be 2 units (level 2).
2.The 1 unit bet is only made if the remaining cards are
unfavorable and a) you lost your last bet, b) you won at
level 4 or S, or c) the running count is -S or worse (4,
6, 8 decks) or -2 or worse for single and double deck games.
3. The only way to make the large 7 unit bet is to have
won the level 4 (S unit) bet and have a favorable situation.
In fact you must have a favorable situation in order to
wager the maximum 7 units.
4.Once you wager 7 units (level 5), you will continue to
do so as long as you continue to win and the game is favorable.
If either of these conditions changes, the bet size is reduced.
5.Make your calls clearly. The Call clarity will help to
prevent any misunderstanding.
The following example can be used as a study aid to learn
this betting system in any casino
For example, if you wager 3 units and you win the hand and
the running count indicates a favorable situation, your
next bet is 5 units. Likewise, if you wager 5 units, lose
the hand and have an unfavorable situation, the next bet
you should make is 1 unit. The above betting methodology
will automatically have you making larger bets in favorable
situations and smaller bets in unfavorable situations.

It is designed also to take advantage of your win I streaks
(which have a higher probability of occurring in I favorable
situations) but can still occur as well in unsavory- I able
situations. Since large bets are only made with profits
I from winning succeeding hands in the progression, this
I betting methodology minimizes your chances of going broke
I by losing too many large bets in succession. And most
I importantly, this method of betting automatically disguises
the fact that you are a skillful card counter (you'll never
be I increasing your bet size by more than 2 units at a
time).
With the above betting strategy, your session bankroll
I should be equal to 30 times the basic 1 unit bet. Your
total bankroll should be 4 times the session bankroll.
Quit a session if you've either lost your session bankroll
or you've managed to win 10 to 20% of your session bankroll.
If you are winning like crazy (which will happen from time
to time!), keep playing but be sure you quit with your profits
when you start to lose .The following statistics about the
above betting strategy might interest you.
1.In general you will average about 150 hands per session
(about a 2 hour playing session).
2.Your average bet size using the bet progression, as determined
from computer studies, is 3.0 units per hand. With a total
bankroll of 120 units, this represents an average bet to
stake ratio of 1 to 40.
3.Assuming 3.0 units per hand x ISO hands per session,
this equals a total of 450 units risked per session. It
would take a casino edge of at least 6.6% to grind out your
30 unit session bankroll (6.6% of 450 equals 30).
4.This course of play will take 9 or 10 consecutive sessions,
in each of which you lose your entire 30
unit session bankroll to wipe out your 120 unit stake. This
is the worst that can happen.

the basic playing strategy will give you a slight edge (about
t 0.5 %) when playing in any casino or online casino To
further increase your edge you must learn the technique
of true count wagering and strategy.

a game of chances. Even if you have lost some money it is
not the end of the world and try to get on with the game.
