Running a progressive betting system in blackjack can lead to greater risk, as losses can accumulate quickly during losing streaks, despite the potential for larger wins during winning streaks. While the system doesn't alter the house edge, it can impact bankroll management, potentially leading to quicker depletion of funds if not carefully monitored.

That's absolutely correct. Progressive betting systems can indeed amplify both the highs and lows of playing blackjack, making for a more volatile experience compared to flat betting. It's crucial to approach such systems with caution and discipline, setting both win and loss limits to safeguard your bankroll. While these systems can be enticing due to the potential for substantial gains, it's essential to remember that they don't change the fundamental odds of the game. Consistent application of sound blackjack strategy combined with responsible bankroll management is key to navigating the pitfalls and maximizing the advantages of progressive betting systems.
There is also the possibility of losing out on bigger rewards. An excessively cautious approach to betting may prevent a player from taking advantage of winning streaks. They run the risk of rapidly depleting their bankroll, however, if they raise their wagers too rapidly.
