As can be seen in the chart, only a spread of 7 and above gives you good chances to win, and therefor worthwhile
to raise the bets (regardless of the number of decks which are being used).
The chances of winning in a seven or higher spread are more than half, about 54% percent.
Winning a spread of 11, the highest spread, gives a chance of 84% percent.
The chances of winning bigger payouts with smaller spreads are about 20% percent or lower - rather risky.
