your still at a + overall though right? how long did you play for? I notice on the machines playing strategy does nothing but let me slow down the amount of time I will be loosing, I have not once sat at a blackjack machine and cashed out with more then I put in
Bodog has turned back around and I am back up right before it felt like the doom switch was flipped on me and I lost a handsome amount. so far im up quite a bit still playing $10 units starting at $20.
Hoosier, do you have any sort of progression system? the one me and Daws favor is pretty nice i like it,

I've implemented different progression systems depending on my mood that day and how much cash I had with me, as well as the table minimum.
I can tell you that my best days have been when I flat bet $25 every single time while employing basic strategy religiously on every hand and NOT using the surrender option (where I am we have the option). I've walked away with close to a grand after grinding it out for 4-6 hours, usually.
I think the key with those days was being aggressive and subsequently winning most of my double downs. Also being aggressive with the splits. Dealers and the other players at the tables seemed to be a factor as well.
There are times where if I'm on a pretty hot shoe, I may bump my bet up to 50...but those times are rare. I really don't like to push it much, even though most people I meet recommend me doing as such.
I've screwed around with a system called "Oscar's Gamble" before on the $5 dollar table. In a nutshell, it's much more "conservative" version of the martingale system. Google it and you'll find something.
I'm not a big fan of progressive systems, but they can obviously work in certain circumstances.
