Whoring with a shocking result...

[Fraubump]

For those who want to do a doubling system without risking their whole roll on one shot, you can always start by betting some lesser amount, let it ride a certain # of times and then repeat the process. This increases risk of ruin somewhat, but also increases amount bet, which makes the clearance go faster and adds some excitement. I should note, however, that all doubling sytems used with Blackjack have to take into account doubling and splitting, which increase your risk of ruin: example doing the crypto $80 match bonus. Say you bet $1, win, bet $2, win, $4, win, $8 win, $16 win, then on the $32 bet you are dealt 99 vs a 6. You split and each split hits a 2 for 11, so now it is right to double each bet, so now you are suddenly risking $128, which means you now have to risk some of your own (non-house money) to make the most +ev bet. The good news is that whenever a situation like this comes up you are a getting excellent odds, but you need to be willing to take the risk.

Here is a system I sometimes use with Blackjack (It goes faster than min bets, is somewhat entertaining, has modest risk of ruin--basically any betting pattern you use that includes larger bets increases both your ev and your risk of ruin and most importantly decreases time invested--you can even use silly, superstitious betting patterns, like betting large after the house has won 3 in a row: all larger bets are better bets if you are not risk averse.) (oops, got alittle carried away there in the parentheses):

Bet $2. If you win, bet $4. If you win, bet $6 (you've now "saved your original $2). If you win, bet $11 (you're profiting now), if you win, bet $22. If you win, stop, start over. I also reset back to the original $2 bet if any doubling, splitting or blackjacking occurs in the round. Pushes don't effect anything except they count toward your wagering requirement, so it's a positive event for high bet pushes to happen. Reset to $2 after every loss.

Many variations of this kind of system are possible.
