<div class="bbWrapper">Oasis Casino (mainly a sports bets site) has a $0.05 minimum bet for blackjack. Lasseters has a $0.02 minimum bet in their Shockwave blackjack.<br /> <br /> Any other online casinos with minimum bets under $1 ????</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Westland Bowl</b><br /> <br /> <i>Any other online casinos with minimum bets under $1 ???</i><br /> <br /> As far as I know, when I used to play at Mapau Casino (PlayTech software), they used to have BJ with minimum bets as low as .10 cents. They&#039;re a part of SunnyGroup Ltd, which also includes other casinos such as Miami Beach, GoldGate Casino, as well as Casino Fortune. I got a lot of hours out of $10-20 playing .10 cent hands. I seem to recall seeing one of the (if not more) MG casino&#039;s also offering VERY low bets on BJ. Music Hall springs to mind, and Cinema Casino, but again, I&#039;m not sure about which one it was.<br /> <br /> Hope the SunnyGroup examples help.<img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /></div>

The 2 or 5 cent minimum bet helps with the long losing streaks the online casinos often have. Nothing like having only lost $0.20 or little more on their stupid non-random (imo) streaks. Once the streak is over, I bet higher unless I hit another streak then its back down to 2 cents. You can probably guess that I make up for losses using at least one or two two-wins in my session.<br /> <br /> Global Player minimum on all blackjack games is $1.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">See,<br /> <br /> I can&#039;t ever use a progressive betting system that goes above maybe 3 losses, after that I just cut out and leave. Usually every hour I hit at least a 7 loss streak and if I played constantly for 3 hours straight I usually hit a 10-12 losing streak, EEk! I don&#039;t think any progressions while losing is the way to go ever. Winning I could see some exceptions.</div>

When I used to play at Mapau, I&#039;d get hammered EACH time I increased my bets. So, I&#039;d be back down to some relatively low amount, play .10 cent hands (multihand) for a few hours, get back to the $30 range, figure it&#039;s safe enough to play $1 min. again, get hammered again, drop down to my last $5 AND drop down to .10 cent bets, work my way back up to $30, and do this again, and again, and again. Then... I thought to myself:<br /> <br /> <span style="color: DarkSlateBlue">a) As boring as it is to play .10 cent hands, I do relatively well...<br /> b) Again, it&#039;s VERY BORING...<br /> c) Why can&#039;t I have the same luck when I increase my bets?</span> <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/mad.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":mad:" title="Mad :mad:" data-shortname=":mad:" /> <br /> <span style="color: DarkRed">d) I need to get out of the house!!!</span><br /> <br /> It&#039;s like hanging-on playing .05 cent VP over at any RTG. Kills the eyes, kills the mind (it&#039;s like throwing your brain into a microwave for a few hours), and IF you were to get up, you have to think about those darn fax-back forms. If your mind can overcome all those obstacles, you&#039;re very lucky (and dilligent indeed).</div>

I only use the $0.02 minimum bet after the dealer wins, I increase to $1 or double the accumulated losses after I win. This helps minimize losses generated from the losing streaks. I depend on gettting at least a two-win streak to catch up on the accumulated losses and then some. I get some games where I only get one-wins and therefore never get a chance to catch-up. In that case, I quit the session if I lose 15-20% of my bankroll. I drop down to $1 on my 3rd and subsequent wins until I lose then I drop to minimum bet in case the dealer goes on a winning streak.<br /> <br /> So if I had bet $1 and I lose, my next bet would be $0.02, the minimum. As long as the dealer wins, my bet is $0.02. Dealer goes on a 10-win streak then I win one. Ok, accumulated losses is $1.18 so I double (sometimes I triple) that and my next bet is $2.36. I win and I caught up with the losses and then some. My next bets would be $1 as long as I&#039;m winning.<br /> <br /> What if I lost the $2.36 bet? My next bet is $0.02 until I win again then I add the losses up which includes the $2.36 loss. $1.18 plus the $2.36 equals $3.54. Double that would be $7.08 so I would round it to $7 and that would be my next bet. You get the idea?<br /> <br /> I learned to limit my losses to 15-20% of my bankroll after one horrenous session in which I had <b>10</b> one-wins out of 52 hands!! I only won like 18% of the hands. That was a sh*t farce game. Fortunately, those don&#039;t happen often.</div>

Also, it seems like you have an elaborate reverse/modified martingale type betting strategy, and I&#039;m not really sure I see the point of the effort just to make $3.</div>

Once it works at doubling my bankroll I double my bets in proportion and see if it still works. It works for me so far at the $0.02 or $0.05 minimum bets but I occasionally need to bet, for instance, $8 to catch up with accumulated losses. Proportionally, that would be a $400 bet at the $1 minimum blackjack games. Psychologically and financially, I&#039;m not ready to bet $400 a hand so I&#039;m working my way up to it by starting with the lowest minimum bet blackjack games I can find. If I can consistently win $3 to $10 at $0.02 cent blackjack, which I do, then using the same strategy (and confidence) with the $1 minimum bet game then that would be consistent $150 to $500 wins. Of course, all of this is on paper but at the least I gotta try it. This is assuming of course that the online blackjack game is totally non-reactive to your bet size though Cipher thinks that it is not.</div>

If you&#039;re using small bets to get comfortable with playing and/or trying out new strategies, then that&#039;s a good thing I suppose. By the way, if you believe that bet size influences the outcome of the cards, then you shouldn&#039;t be playing (nobody who believes that should be playing). That would imply that the game is rigged, and why play a rigged game. Personally, I find that winning or losing has much more to do with streakiness vs the size of the bets. I&#039;ve had small and large wins (and losses) with every combination of small and large bets. I&#039;ve never felt that the size of my bet was the determining factor in the hand I got, or the hand the dealer got.</div>
