Betting Flat?

[Forever522168854]

I wonder if most cats see the betting flat style as the ultimate, or holy grail? In reality even a profitable flat bet style gonna clip you for downdraws what will be a significant chunk of yer bankroll and betting flat is slim margin that might net ya a units profit. But then most cats just ain't got realistic expectation and I think I'll do a thread on that, hey hey.

For me, flat betting winds up netting 0.3 to 0.5 units per shoe, which I’m sure some would feel is fine, but bores me to tears.

Using any of a variety of progressions takes it to +5.5 units per shoe, which is a figure that includes black swans, losses, bad runs over multiple shoes, etc. Net net in other words.

As mentioned in the Turbo/Roulette war threads and elsewhere, a progression simply amplifies what’s already there. If someone can’t win flat betting, then they shouldn’t play until they can.
