Could this be an always-profit Blackjack strategy?
I just thought of this strategy now.
Say you want to make $5 from blackjack, and you have a bankroll of $80,000. You could do a $5 hand, if you lose, do a $10 hand, if you lose, do a $20 hand, etc. untill you win. Obviously the odds are so so so small that you would not win at least once before losing $80,000 (15 hands in a row), and if you win a hand, you profit $5. Is there a flaw to this? |

What tables offer bets from $5 to $80000? None that I've ever seen. This scenario is exactly why there are minimum and maximum bets at every casiono. Otherwise, it would be possible to eventually win your minimum bet every time.

not to mention that the martingale system (which is exactly what you described), has been around forever and been responsible for many a bankrupt player.
no version of it works. The amt you win before the inevitible does happen will never make you a winner. |

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, yes it does. It causes people to play above their bankroll and bet more money than they can afford to lose. I can't think of worse advice for losing gamblers. |

It works if you have got an infinite bankroll and the house accepts infinitely large bets. An approximation of infinity will not work.

No it dosent because there is always the possiblity of an inifinite losing streak. It is an insanely small possibility but it is possible.

With an infinite bankroll, after an infinite losing streak, your bankroll would still be the same --- infinity.
