Big, Big difference Alan. I increase my wagers in blackjack
when I am playing with the advantage! Singer is never playing with an advantage. Each and every round is played at the same disadvantage or house advantage. Increasing wagers when at a disadvantage only serves to make you expected loss for that wager larger. Nothing Singer has ever said changes that. I am waiting for something, anything that that gives reason to why he is more likely to win in the later stages of the progression and recoup all his losses and then some, but there is nothing. And that is ALWAYS the problem with progression wagering.

Now in the above quote from earlier today, Rob emphatically and correctly I might add, states that each round has nothing to do with rounds played prior to it. With this being true....
and it is, what is it about the later segments of the progression that makes any kind of win to recoup earlier losses more likely?
And without some reasoning as to the above, then why play the lower levels of the progression? Why not just start with the higher levels (denominations) in which case you are simply playing higher denomination at the same negative expectation as every other player.
In short there is no mathematical reason why that higher level play is going to yield anything except the same losing expectation. The formula has not changed....it is
amount wagered x expectation which with a -EV game will be a negative result. Anything and everything that came before that, including losses at lower levels of the progression do not change that mathematical formula.
