Same shoe, same cards — watch the bankrolls diverge

How this bot bets

• Bets one $25 unit on every hand.
• Does not raise after wins or chase after losses.
• Any double or split can increase exposure on that hand, but the next base bet remains $25.

Current bet

This hand used the fixed $25 flat base bet. Exposure increased to $50 because Basic Strategy doubled or split.

What this shows

Baseline strategy with lower bankroll swings.

How this bot bets

• Starts at $25.
• Presses after wins through a short $25, $50, $100 sequence.
• Resets after a loss or after the press sequence completes; pushes leave the current step unchanged.

Current bet

This hand was at the $25 Paroli base step, usually after a reset or completed press. Exposure increased to $50 because Basic Strategy doubled or split.

What this shows

Pressing wins avoids Martingale-style loss chasing but still depends on variance.

How this bot bets

• Starts at one $25 unit.
• Moves to two units after a win.
• Resets after the two-unit step wins or after any loss; pushes leave the current step unchanged.

Current bet

This hand was at the one-unit $25 base step. Exposure increased to $50 because Basic Strategy doubled or split.

What this shows

A small capped press system shows controlled variance compared with aggressive progressions.

How this bot bets

• Bets one $100 unit on every hand.
• Does not change bet size after wins, losses, or pushes.
• Double and split decisions can increase exposure on the current hand.

Current bet

This hand used the fixed $100 flat base bet, four times the Disciplined unit. Exposure increased to $200 because Basic Strategy doubled or split.

What this shows

Bigger bets magnify variance without improving the math.

How this bot bets

• Bets one $25 unit on every active hand.
• Never increases after wins or losses.
• If remaining bankroll is below one unit, existing arena bust/cooldown rules take over.

Current bet

This hand used the fixed $25 table-min base bet. Exposure increased to $50 because Basic Strategy doubled or split.

What this shows

A conservative control lane for comparing bankroll volatility.

How this bot bets

• Starts each series at one $25 unit.
• Keeps the same bet after a loss.
• After a win, raises by no more than one unit and only enough to target a one-unit series gain.
• Resets to one unit once the current series is ahead by at least one unit.

Current bet

This hand was $100 because Oscar's Grind was still working back toward a one-unit series gain. Exposure increased to $200 because Basic Strategy doubled or split.

What this shows

Slow positive progression with smaller jumps than press-heavy systems.

How this bot bets

• Starts at one $25 unit.
• On consecutive wins follows 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 units.
• Continues one unit higher per win after the listed sequence.
• Any loss resets to one unit; pushes repeat the current step.

Current bet

This hand was at the one-unit Telephone base step. Exposure increased to $50 because Basic Strategy doubled or split.

What this shows

How a community-style win ladder magnifies streak variance.

How this bot bets

• Starts at one $25 unit.
• On wins follows 1, 2, 4, 3, 6, 4, 8, 5, 10, 6, 12 units.
• After the listed sequence, continues the same alternating half/full ladder pattern.
• A first loss above base steps down one level; a second consecutive loss resets to one unit.

Current bet

This hand was at the one-unit Let It Ride base step. Exposure increased to $50 because Basic Strategy doubled or split.

What this shows

A more aggressive positive ladder with partial step-down behavior.

How this bot bets

• On the first hand of a shoe, bets up to $2,000 or remaining bankroll, whichever is lower.
• After the first resolved hand, returns to one $25 unit if still active.
• Never returns a wager above bankroll.

Current bet

This hand was in the post-opening $25 YOLO cooldown pattern. Exposure increased to $50 because Basic Strategy doubled or split.

What this shows

Extreme early variance and fast bust/recovery cycles.

How this bot bets

• Defaults to one $25 unit.
• Makes a pop bet on every 7th active hand unless the prior hand was a loss.
• The pop bet is the larger of eight units or 20 percent of bankroll, capped to bankroll and table max.
• After a loss, returns to one unit.

Current bet

This hand stayed at the $25 Duck and Pop default. Exposure increased to $50 because Basic Strategy doubled or split.

What this shows

How occasional large wagers reshape drawdown and bust risk.

How this bot bets

• Starts at one $25 unit.
• Doubles the previous wager after every win.
• Does not reset after three wins like Paroli.
• Any loss resets to one unit; pushes repeat the same wager.

Current bet

This hand was at the $25 David Thing base step after a reset or no win streak. Exposure increased to $50 because Basic Strategy doubled or split.

What this shows

Uncapped positive progression and the cost of giving wins back on one loss.
