Bet Conditions Table
Display this table by clicking on the Bets button on the tool bar. You should first set the parameters at the top of the screen. This will define the look and function of the table. You can then fill in the table.
The columns are by count. The rows are by Last Bet. Last Bet is the bet made the previous round. If you played three hands betting six units each hand in the previous round, the Last Bet is 18. Bets are made according to both the count and the last bet. Therefore, you must have a possible new bet for every possible combination of last bet and count. As you add new bets, you will notice that rows may be automatically added to the table to allow new bets based upon the new last bet. To indicate three hands of six units, enter 3x6.
Ø Multi-Hand Bet Increment - When you play multiple hands, add this amount to each bet. Thus, if you enter 3x8 as the bet and an increment of +2, the player will bet 8, 10 and 12 units in his first, second and third seat.
