Before becoming a positive progressive player, I played "inspirational" and "basic strategy -- flat bet" blackjack for over 25 years, and never had a winning year. I've been a progressive bettor for the last 5 years, and have yet to have a losing year.

A word about "statistical Anomalies": This is a catch-all phrase that is
over used by dumb ass statisticians that have an effect and can't
figure out the cause. Most of these, if important, are rung out(fixed)
and take their place as a set or sub-set along with other stats and
fade into the woodwork we call knowledge.

Over that time period, there's a 35% chance that you'd be ahead just flat betting with basic strategy. At 500 hours, your chance to have been winning lucky drops to 18%. At 1000 hours it drops to 10%.
Mathematically, progressions do not work. If you've experienced the contrary, my advice is to proceed with caution - but I honestly don't like your chances from here on out. Keep us posted though - and keep meticulous records. Walter's done well over a fairly long term - which puzzles me.
By the way, progressionists usually increase their bets at a time unrelated to the current count. This has been found to be true.
