For those who don't know, a betting system is a way of utilizing specific money management
in betting to help maximize your profits. The chances are, regardless of the method or technique you decide to use at the blackjack table, if you do not manage your money appropriately, you are more likely to walk away from the table with less money than you had hoped. There are several different types of systems that you can consider using, and the one that is right for you will depend on your own personal skills and preferences.
The Martingale System
This system was invented over 200 years ago, and it suggests that a player should double his or her bet every time he loses, on the assumption that at one point, he or she will eventually win and show a significant profit from the first wager that was made. For example, if you stared with a wager of $5, you would then double with each loss, going to $10, then $20, then $40 and so on. Once you had won, your wager would revert back to $5. The issue with this system is that many casinos have limits on the table that limit its effectiveness. If you have a particularly long losing streak, you may find that you meet the table maximum, and the purpose of the system will be defeated. Furthermore, you will need to start with a considerable bankroll to make the system work.
Progressive betting system (2 levels)
This is considered by many people to be the simplest betting system available, whilst still continuing to be quite effective. All you have to do is decide on a maximum and minimum bet, then bet the larger amount after a win, and the smaller amount following a loss. For example, if you start your minimum bet at $10, and your maximum at $20, then you should start with $10. If you win that hand, bet $20 until you lose, and then return to your $10 bet. This system can also move to a 5 level option, where you move from 1, 2, 3, to 5, and then back to 1. For example, if you started with $5 you would then progress to the next level following a win, the levels being $5, $10, $15 and $25. If you lose a hand, then you would go back to $5.
