    This idea is only "safe" in the statistical sense, but it's an interesting idea.

    First you make a bet. If you lose, you double your bet. If you lose again, you double your bet again. You can do this as many times as necessary. Once you win one bet, you will be back to even. Theoretically, you'd never lose. Of course, this is only true if you have infinite money.

    But the odds of you losing black jack, say, 10 times in a row, are almost 0...
    around 0.0977%.

    Now when you win, you just take the money and run. When you lose, you keep doubling your bet until you win and break even.

    I don't suggest doing this, but theoretically it should work.

    • Well no, it shouldn't, except in a perfect world with no table limits. It's neat, mathematically, but not useful in real life
