Default Re: Sticky question

I'm very interested in the math behind this. My normal strategy with stickies is all in on one hand and then play out with flat betting if I win. I don't know the exact math, but I'd guess your average single hand of blackjack gives the player app. 47-48% chance of winning. Obviously, especially for sites with high wr, you're going to give back a bit of your winnings when finishing the wr, but I doubt you are mathematically a favorite to hit your target making bets that are 20% of your starting stack and trying to reach double your starting stack. You can't mathematically be greater than 47% to win here can you? My odds might be a bit off, and, like I said, I'd like to know the math here...I don't necessarily know it. I guess I'm just curious to see some real evidence one way or the other.
Thanks,
Dude
