How this bot bets

Power Press

Base unit$25

Every Bot Arena bot plays the same perfect Basic Strategy. David Thing only differs in how it sizes its bets — Power Press. Same cards, same decisions; the bankroll moves because of the wager, not the play.

Keeps doubling after wins until a loss, bankroll cap, or table max stops the press.

Betting rules

  • 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.

Card play

  • Uses the same Basic Strategy decision chart as every other normal arena bot.
  • The power press changes wager size only, not the Basic Strategy action.
  • Declines insurance.

Current bet

What this shows

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

Sequence example$25 -> $50 -> $100 -> $200 -> $400...

Aggressive pressing can move fast in either direction and does not change expected value.
