Progressive Betting HELP (Im Corn-Fused)

hello,

I have just recently began playing blackjack on my 18th brithday, which was a 3 weeks ago. since then i have just been All out blackjack mood, i love this game. I have been pratcing 1-2 Hours daily on Basic Strats, Hi-Lo Counting system (I choose this system for my starting point) and my overall knowledge of the game. I'm very knew here and sometimes i feel overan with all the info i read so please understand that :-D.

My question to you. Is progessive betting used in pro Playing 21 players strats, i have done some reading online ond from books and have just really been confused with it. From what i get this is a good place to help you recover your losing streaks. Which i need the help most with, my last vist to the casino i only lost 4 hands and i lost all concentration, and all high hopes, which led me to make stupid bets and hits/stands. Which left me with no bankroll. So i was just hoping to get a lil help here on the topic and if this was a good method to pratice, and maybe a lil deeper info no it.

1. The only way to get an edge vs the casino is to bet with the count. (not counting advanced skills)

2. You need money to win at blackjack. You're not going to open a successful business with only a few hundred or even a few thousand bucks without a significant chance of going bust. The better financed you are the greater your chance of success

3. You will quite often lose 4 hands (or even more) in a row. I've lost 17 out of 19 hands before. (worse case that immediately comes to mind) which included a 13 in a row losing streak. Playing a negative progression would have busted you out completely. Losing streaks big enough to wipe you out happen quite often. (you will start an 8 hand losing streak about once every 435 hands)

4. Pro players do not use progressions, except to hide their skills from the casino by attempting to look like a progression player. That is because casinos love progression player. Why do you think casinos love progression player?

Well thanks very the reply and i have orders 2books form here and am awating them.

On the other hand i will not worry about Progessive Betting, for now

I understand you are very new to this and underbankrolled. The game is one of huge variance or you might say swings or luck. It is also a game of patience. Loosing a ton of hands in a row (my niece recently lost 16 straight most of which in a good count) will happen and trying to get that money back in a hand or two without a super positive count is just steaming and will only work if you are very lucky. It will bankrupt you over time. Wong in on good counts and grind away, be patient, wait for the count to dictate your larger bets and do not be controled by your previous loss.
Also remember when the urge to steam comes and you want to say to yourself that you lost 6 in a row and you are certainly due to win, that you have also at times lost more than 6 in a row and could certainly loose this hand.
A small bankroll can be overcome by being suplemented from your current income and then by wonging in to only good counts and leaving when the count goes south. The swings can be overcome only by playing big at the right times over time and not by steaming.
