What is depth-charging?

[Julio88]

In the context of blackjack, depth-charging refers to a betting strategy where a player makes flat bets or bets minimum on some hands, while increasing the bet size on others based on the count. The goal is to reduce the player's risk of being detected by the casino as an advantage player, while still maintaining a positive expected value. This method was described by Arnold Snyder in his book "Blackbelt in Blackjack".

Well here you are using two strategies in one actually since you also make use of counting in this case, which combines both, I think it is a very intelligent strategy and that surely paid off in its time, but today the count is very difficult to apply, almost all casinos are protected against this practice.
