Final outcome Loss Table Talk
What to notice this hand Every bot played the same cards. Only bet sizing changed. Mixed results came from split-hand resolution and exposure, not different card decisions. The busted Martingale lane shows why loss chasing can exhaust a bankroll. High Roller uses the same strategy as Disciplined, but each non-push hand moves the bankroll 4x faster. Active on the shared cards; bankroll movement comes from this lane's bet size.

Flat Betting
Base unit $25
Plays perfect Basic Strategy and bets $25 every hand.
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.
What this shows Baseline strategy with lower bankroll swings.
Flat betting reduces volatility but does not beat the house.

Positive Progression
Base unit $25
Starts at $25, increases after wins, and resets after a loss or completed press sequence.
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.
What this shows Pressing wins avoids Martingale-style loss chasing but still depends on variance.
Sequence example $25 -> $50 -> $100 -> reset
This is a simulation, not a recommendation. Winning streaks are not predictable, and no progression beats the house edge.

Negative Progression
Base unit $25
Starts at $25, doubles after losses, and resets after a win.
How this bot bets Starts each sequence at $25. Doubles after each loss until the capped progression reaches $1,600. Resets to $25 only after a win; pushes leave the current step unchanged. Current bet This hand was $50 because prior losses moved the Martingale progression above base.
What this shows Loss chasing can look stable until a bad streak creates catastrophic drawdown.
Sequence example $25 -> $50 -> $100 -> $200 -> $400 -> $800 -> $1,600 cap
When the required next bet is larger than bankroll, the bot can exhaust the simulated bankroll.
This is a simulation, not a recommendation. Martingale changes volatility, not expected value, and no progression beats the house edge.

Capped Positive Progression
Base unit $25
Bets 1 unit, presses to 2 units after a win, then resets.
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.
What this shows A small capped press system shows controlled variance compared with aggressive progressions.
Sequence example $25 -> $50 -> reset
This is a simulation, not a recommendation. Progressions change bankroll shape and bust risk, not expected value.

High-Unit Flat Betting
Base unit $100
Same decisions as Disciplined, but with 4x the wager size.
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.
With a $2,000 bankroll, this bot starts with only 20 units.
Larger flat bets increase bankroll swings and do not improve expected value.

Flat Betting
Base unit $25
Plays perfect Basic Strategy and keeps every base wager at the table minimum.
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.
What this shows A conservative control lane for comparing bankroll volatility.
Minimum bets reduce swings but do not remove the house edge.

Positive Progression
Base unit $25
Keeps losses slow and tries to end each series one unit ahead.
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 $200 because Oscar's Grind was still working back toward a one-unit series gain.
What this shows Slow positive progression with smaller jumps than press-heavy systems.
Sequence example $25 after losses, then cautious one-unit raises after wins
Oscar's Grind can smooth some sequences, but it does not change blackjack expected value.

Positive Progression
Base unit $25
Runs a win-streak ladder that starts 1, 2, 1, 2, then climbs by one unit.
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.
What this shows How a community-style win ladder magnifies streak variance.
Sequence example $25 -> $50 -> $25 -> $50 -> $75 -> $100...
A win progression can run hot or bust faster, but it does not overcome the house edge.

Presses wins through an alternating ladder and steps down after the first loss.
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.
What this shows A more aggressive positive ladder with partial step-down behavior.
Sequence example $25 -> $50 -> $100 -> $75 -> $150...
Press ladders increase exposure during streaks and still leave the underlying edge intact.

Spectacle Flat Betting
Base unit $25
Risks a large capped wager on the first hand of a shoe, then drops to table minimum.
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 used the capped YOLO opening wager of $2,000. Exposure increased to $4,000 because Basic Strategy doubled or split.
What this shows Extreme early variance and fast bust/recovery cycles.
The first wager can equal the full $2,000 starting bankroll.
Large first-hand bets can end a session immediately and do not create an edge over the house.

Timed High-Variance Betting
Base unit $25
Mostly hides at table minimum, then makes a deterministic large pop bet.
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.
What this shows How occasional large wagers reshape drawdown and bust risk.
Sequence example $25 most hands, with a scheduled pop every seventh active hand
Periodic large bets increase volatility. They do not predict good hands or beat the house edge.

Uncapped Positive Progression
Base unit $25
Keeps doubling after wins until a loss, bankroll cap, or table max stops the press.
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.
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.
