should I not expect to win 9+ in a row until a VERY LONG TIME (~50000 hands)?

How come you don't have an"OTHER" position in your poll? I don't think
I would do any of the suggested actions. I think this comment will make
more sense if you ask yourself, why do I play and what is the nature of
winning in blackjack?

There is no polite way to say this...."That is a terrible string" - It is no wonder the guy next to was saying you were "slowing down the game" - you were!
- I'm surprised they even let you bet the $37.50 and the $62.50. That just isn't done at a $25 table.
- "Rainbow" bets are bad for everyone; you, other players, the dealer, because they really interrupt the flow of the game.....In your case, if that casino doesn't use a 2.50 chip you were betting four different levels. Two color bets are o.k., but either three or four levels slow down the payoffs too much.
- Check me on this, but I believe Walter recommends a 25-35-45-55 for his method with a $25 unit.
PJ said:Nice streaks, Bug. I played Friday morning using a similar progression only to get $200 behind. Never was able to recover. What time of day did the 9 and 12 streaks occur? How many players at your table?
O.K., so where you play allows that and you bet your 25/37.5/50/62.5. Yes sir, you go right ahead and play that way, if ..
- If you want to slow down the game.
- If you want to constantly dink with your chips.
- If you want to completely alienate the dealer.
- If you want the dealer, pit boss and the other players to immediately label you as a newbie/rookie/ploppie (pick one) Personally, I want to be as anonymous as possible at the table.

You $62.50:
- Dealers do not instantly know these oddball payoffs. Why should they? Nobody bets that way (well almost nobody).
- He sees a blackjack and a $62.50 bet, so he has to figure it out. He might/probably do it this way ..Uhhhh $50 pays $75, and pluck your three green .uhhhh $10 pays $15 and pluck your three red, .Lets see, $2.00 pays $3.00 and plucks your three white, and finally $0.50 pays $0.75 .oh shucky durn, this is a $25.00 table, I dont have quarters in my tray, I guess Ill have to round up, or is it round down??
- And in the meantime the pit boss and the other players are mumbling under their breath and saying when did this yahoo fall off the turnip truck.
Get the picture???......Make life simple for yourself and everybody else.
See page 167, and I quote, If you find yourself at a $25 minimum table, I recommend a $25 - $35 - $45 - $55 progression. ..

Nickels - You are 100% correct of course, but obviously you are not going to convince Bughousemaster.
