# Stop Flat Betting and Try This - '357 Magnum' Blackjack System Review

> Source: [Stop Flat Betting and Try This - '357 Magnum' Blackjack System Review](https://youtube.com/watch?v=QBPSnk0fLF4)

## Summary

In this video, Alex and Timmy from Casino Quest test a new blackjack betting system called 'The Hammer' (also referred to as the '357 Magnum'). They start with a $200 buy-in at a $10 minimum table and follow a progressive betting strategy that increases bets after wins. The session ends with a small profit of $20, and the hosts discuss the system's merits, giving it a 'peach' rating.

### Key Points

- **The Hammer System Introduction** [00:28] — The system starts with a $100 buy-in (they use $200 for this session). Bet progression: win at $10, go to $15; win again, go to $20; then $30, $40, $50, $60, etc. On doubles and splits, take back the normal profit and stack the rest.
- **When to Walk Away** [01:20] — They joke that players walk away when bored or out of money, but note that nobody gets bored when winning.
- **Tracking Shoe Positivity** [01:48] — They use a separate flat bettor to track whether the shoe is positive or negative. If the flat bettor is up, the shoe was positive; if down, it was cold.
- **System Automation Suggestion** [08:52] — Alex suggests stopping the progression at 70 and collecting back, or having a stop point to avoid losing gains. The dopamine rush of pressing bets is acknowledged.
- **Session Result** [16:29] — They ended with a $20 profit on a $200 buy-in, calling it a neutral shoe. Alex gives the system a 'peach' rating despite not winning big, praising its structure over Martingale.

### Conclusion

The Hammer system produced a small profit in a neutral shoe, and the hosts recommend it as a more controlled alternative to Martingale. They encourage viewers to try it and share feedback.

## Transcript

at this look at the T-shirt thank you Mr Andy Bahar me off if you guys don't know which is on Twitch I'm here with the slippery one how you doing sir pretty good pretty good we're hanging out we have a new strategy Blackjack strategy
by the way if you want to do if you want to submit a strategy in that description you'll see what's called link tree go down submit a gambling system right there it's from Mr cam camera let's not say his last time it's called The Hammer
already a good marketing name the 100 buy-in it says 100 to 500 normal start at 100 we're gonna do 200 today because I feel like 100 is just too short yeah it's too short start at 10 table 10 minimum table win go to 15 win go to 20
win go to 30 40 50 60 so on so basically you do half step and then you add half as you you know like ten dollars is gone on doubles and splits take back the normal profit and stack the rest so for example if you have 40 Double Down
example if you have 40 Double Down if you win your normal profit will be technically uh forty dollars right so you take or it would actually be eighty dollars if you win on a double down yeah but your natural profit is four DVD yeah
you stack the rest of chips just take the same like the remaining right the same better original bet and then stack the rest yep so it's basically like a split all right we're gonna cut the shoe now
when to walk away when you get border out of money which you think is going to um normally too yeah you normally it's number two nobody ever gets bored if you're winning you've been gambling a
long time you might get bored of blackjack but here's 200 buy-in 200 buy-in thank you guys so much for all the support put a flat butter if you're system we do play two spots but the same hand this is a flat better and it serves
to con uh access uh control and here's the run it up here for everybody there you go so we can actually see at the end if this was a positive or A negative shoe right if this guy is up money it means that was an overall positive shoe
