Okay, here's my rant—can someone please tell me once and for all, what exactly is the best blackjack betting strategy? I’ve been playing for a while now, and I’ve tried everything from Martingale to the 1-3-2-6. At first, I thought betting bigger was the way to go when I hit a hot streak, but man, that’s burned me more times than I can count. I mean, I get the logic behind it, but it’s all about managing the risk, right? Can anyone here back up the whole “flat betting is the safest” idea? Or am I just wasting my time with that nonsense?
