have you ever noticed how other players raise their bets? Some increase after a losing hand. Others increase after winning hand. With others, it's a guessing games as though they’re trying to divine what the dealer will do in the next hand. My advice is to flat-bet (bet the same amount) until you’re three bets ahead of the dealer. If you’re a $10 bettor, wait until you've won $30 before considering raising s-our bet. So three is also the keys word for this idea. Win three bets before you increase. How much should you increase? For now, consider just 25 percent. For example, if you’re betting $10, increase to $13 and try to win three more bets, then increase another 25 percent (from, $13 to $17). Don't worry about betting in two colors of chips. Just ask the dealer to change some $5 chips into $1 chips. We'll discuss this more in 7.
