The game is simple to me. I only flat bet ...I wait for something to contrast before making a bet and will lock in the win...then from here look for another opportunity to bet if I win this I will also lock in this win....once I get ahead 3 units I will look for the next win to try to predict the direction it could continue. ...especially following chops....then lastly if ahead 8 to 10 units I will just stop betting till the beginning of the next shoe....also I got most of my styles of plays from reading old posts from gr8plr from the older message boards....basically just read his posts an ignored any responses to his posts that didn't add anything to what he said
