$1-500 Tables

Are there any $1-500 tables in Vegas? If so, where? Are they common?

Are you concerned with the minimum or both? Are you just looking for some low stakes tables or do you plan to spread from a buck to $500? Your best bet is someplace downtown like the Western or Gold Spike. Although I think the Gold Spike has games that are $3 to $50.

So that I can place the following bets at various times:
1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 500 (512 theoretically).

The most recent tables I saw that would match your desired spread would be The El Cortez $3-500 tables. The Western has $3-100 tables and The Gold Spike has $2-50 tables. The El Cortez games are all single decks dealt about 6 hands when playing heads up with the dealer.

Forget the progression and play the single deck games with a level one count and a large red spread for higher positive counts. A simple count with a few indices in a single deck game requires no mental energy and should yield better results than any progression.

That being said, all the above establishments have single deck games. Also, the money required to play your progession would guarantee you a parking lot mugging leaving the above mentioned casinos.

Good Luck (And a progession will require luck)

I tried the progression you mentioned many times on my computer software, (Beat the House), and found that it is not at all unusual to lose 10 hands in a row, which would put you right at your table limit. Listen to these guys. If you play in a real casino with real money, use something that works. Not a progression. Good luck.
