I bet that last all-or-nothing bet is exciting though.

Even better when on your max-bet hand you get dealt AA or 11 against a dealer 6-up and can't split/double-down because your house wasn't worth enough and the kidney you sold only netted you a huge scar and $50k (which you lost on the previous hand)

This is exactly the problem. This betting system is called a small Martingale and is the oldest and dumbest system known to man. Sure, you will win your one lousy bet most of the time. But the odd time that you DO hit 9 straight losses (or whatever) is utterly disastrous.
