Blackjack is different because not all bets are paid 1:1, and the player is allowed other opportunities such as splitting and doubling when the odds of winning are higher. As we know with Chrissy's system, he chooses not to take these advantageous opportunities.
Excluding ties (Makes it easier to explain), The player has a 46.36% chance of winning and a 53.64% chance of losing. So to martingale a system where you only have a 46% chance of winning is disastrous! This is why Chrissy is the only IDIOT that Martingales or does No Bust, No Split, No Double. He just doesn't do one or the other which is straight up moronic, he DOES BOTH!
