Betting the 2 and 7

At a true 5, it's almost 2 percent. At a true 7, it's about 3 percent-a greater advantage than even the Casino has over players at the single-zero roulette wheel. At a true 9, it's a whopping 4 percent, and so on. What does a 1.0 percent advantage mean with a true count of +3? For one thing, it means you're playing at a positive expectation that very hand, which means a hypothetical collective tabulation of all the bets you ever make at that advantage level should equal about 101 percent of the total amount wagered.
The relationship between player advantage/disadvantage and the true count. Notice how player advantage increases at a slightly greater rate as the true count gets increasingly positive.
The core of the entire process is the simple fundamentals of betting more when we have the advantage, like at a true count of +3 or more, and less or the minimum allowable when we don't. That's because we're more likely to win a hand as our advantage over the house increases, so our wagers increase accordingly to get the largest "bang for our buck." But even at highly elevated true counts, we can't bet too much because it's essential to always stay within an acceptable element of ruin percentage. So we walk a fine line-and size our bets accordingly. With an adequate bankroll and a structured betting scheme, we'll bet more when we have an advantage and less or the minimum allowable when we don't-and all the while embrace only a 5 percent chance of going belly-up.

Bankroll and a Structured Approach to Betting

Following are six tables that show different betting schemes based on increasingly larger bankrolls, starting with $2,000 and escalating right up through $100,000. The tables all show wagers based on true counts that correspond to about a 5 percent element of ruin. A range of positive true counts, the amount in dollars you can wager while staying within a 5 percent element of run, and the corresponding number of chips (red, green, black, or purple) in which to bet. Rather than memorize a betting scheme or attempt to figure out how much to bet after every hand based on the last true count calculation, we simply find a relationship that exists between the true count and the number of chips to bet, rather than the amount (in dollars and cents).

Examples

Remember: think units as much as possible. $1,375 isn't $1>375 until you've cashed out and gone home, or better yet after you've doubled the bank and are sitting on some tropical beach soaking up the sunshine. In the trenches, $1,375 is 275 units if you're playing nickels and 55 units if you're playing quarters. With all there is to concentrate on while at the tables, this way of looking at money most easily facilitates betting the correct amount.
This bankroll essentially represents the minimum amount needed to launch a structured attack on the game. With a bank of this size, we're limited to $5 minimum tables, with our true count betting sized to nickel chips.
Our first bet with a True 3 should equal about $8. To keep things simple, we can round that up to $10, which equals two $5 chips. Notice that the "number of chips" column generally equals a number one less than the corresponding true count. Therefore, for this bankroll and unit size, we bet the true count minus one, in nickels. On negative counts and truest below +3, bet the minimum allowable, which would be $5 per hand? That may pose somewhat of a problem in areas where online casino don't always offer $5 tables, in which case, you may be forced to play during less-popular hours like late morning or early Afternoon.
