If I was smart enough to become a billionaire then I would not waste my time playing blackjack using a progression scheme.

Like all things in life -- you need to weigh the potential outcomes. If your desire to gain over time is small -- your bankroll is large -- and your aversion to risk is minimal -- this may be fun for you.

To most of us, it's hard to see how all of these desires converge -- because rationally they appear contradictory. Mathematics says you will lose -- eventually. Mathematics also says you will die by driving a car -- eventually. Without mathematics we know we will die ... certainly.

Weigh these factors how you will -- it's a very personal thing.

The OP was asking if this was a winning system. There are methods to win at blackjack, but this is not one of them. You will still lose.

Just learn to count and follow Basic Strategy. Any other Blackjack system is retarded.
