Does someone have a calculator for this?
Im wondering how many hours it would take to hit $100,000 if my current bankroll is $20,000 adjusting bet spread after every session?
You haven't given enough information. What kind of game are you playing? Decks, rules, penetration? What kind of RoR are you comfortable with? And even playing style, wonging out vs play all, ect.
It would be 6 deck playing a 10-200 spread to start. Rules are H17 DAS, Split any, No Surrender, No hole card. Penetration is 80-85%. I have been operating with a less than 5% ROR lately. I will be wonging out if the count hits -3.
you would need to do a simulation with the above parameters. See sim software at qfit.com. expected hourly win with those parameters would be $20 - $50 per depending on skill level. $100000/ 20 would be 5000 hours of play. THis would take playing every day for 7 hrs for close to two years.
all approximate
That I will not be adjusting my betting units throughout that time as I work my way up. I do not think there is a simulator out there that will allow the adjusting of bets for bankroll size throughout the time I play. Could I assum that I could hit 100,000 in a fraction of that time?
is yes, you can shave some time off by adjusting your betting ramp with bankroll growth. You only mentioned adjusting upward as your bankroll grows. Will you be adjusting downward after losing sessions? If so, you could run up against limits, for instance if you are at a $10 table how do you adjust downwards. If you leave the minimum wager at $10 but adjust the max down to say $180, then you are changing the whole formula. If you aren't adjusting downward after losses, then you run into a RoR situation. 5% RoR may SEEM reasonably safe, but is pretty high.
Adjusting after EVERY session has other issues as well. It can play havoc on your psyche to have a severe losing session, adjust downward and try to win back using a smaller unit and spread. For this reason, most players adjust less frequently than you described. Maybe after a 20% increase of so for instance.
The final consideration is that the answer on paper (or through sims) is different than the answer in the practical world. In the practical world, your play will be going through several different levels as your bankroll grows from $20,000 to $100,000. Different rules, different crowded conditions at higher tables, and more scrutiny and heat as you make that climb which could reduce actual play time.
