Table Limits 2025: picking the right min/max, pace & a 15–18 minute plan
The biggest edge isn’t a secret system—it’s choosing a table limit that matches your bankroll and session length. Limits control pace, bet size, and how long you can play without chase-raising. Here’s how to scan min/max, read house rules that move the math, and run short, focused blocks that keep decisions clean.
Why limits decide your session
- Minimum bet = time per unit: too high and you burn through units fast; too low and you drift into marathon mode.
- Maximum bet = ceiling: matters for side bets and progressive shots—avoid tables where your plan needs raises you can’t make.
- Pace: busy tables slow rounds (good for budget), auto-dealt/rapid tables speed up (raise variance per minute).
Quick rule checks that change value
- Blackjack: 3:2 vs 6:5, S17 vs H17, double/split limits, decks.
- Roulette: La Partage/En Prison on even-chance, neighbor bets panel, track sectors.
- Baccarat: commission/non-commission, tie side limits, squeeze pace.
15–18 minute block (works anywhere)
- Unit: 1–2% of your session bankroll; keep it flat for the whole block.
- Map: 70% on your main line (even-chance/dozens/base bet), 30% on one add-on (sector/side) that you understand.
- Stops: lock the block at +2–3 units or if you drop −3 from the block peak. Break 2–3 minutes.
- Note: start → peak → finish, plus table limit and rounds played. Tiny log, big clarity.
Table selection in 60 seconds
- Fit: can you play 30–60 rounds on your unit without touching the max? If not, switch tables.
- Pace: pick slow when testing, faster when you’re executing a mission and can focus.
- Visibility: limits placard + rules on screen; if you can’t see them, ask—or leave.
Common mistakes (and fixes)
- Arriving under-bankrolled: min too high → move down a table, not your discipline.
- Chasing after a spike: unit stays flat; bank the peak, don’t “earn” a raise.
- Endless blocks: shows are sticky; use a timer and close the tab between blocks.
Responsible play: set deposit/loss limits and reality checks. Fun first—when it stops being fun, stop. 18+.
