Tables have a minimum and maximum bet
These systems don't work:

1. You need unlimited funds to deal with streaks where you lose 4, 5, 6, ... times in a row and still need to double up.

2. Casinos impose minimum and maximum table bets, e.g. min bet $5, max bet $500. The maximum is there not because they're feeling sorry for players but precisely to stop people doubling up too often.

3. Casinos have the right to throw you out. Somebody doubling up all the time is liable to be asked to leave, probably right after they've lost 5 or 6 times in a row to maximize the pain.

The table limits are irrelevant
...since you can move to another table or casino and just carry on from the point you reached.

It's the fact that you don't have unlimited moolah that kicks the system squarely in the nadgers.
