Charles Wells,

Do you think a 1-10 spread can beat a H17 8 deck game with no late surrender? I thought a more larger spread was required like 1-20 spread to overcome the HE. You might have had a positive result for that session but can your results be sustainable and consistent in the long term. As for Bankroll question, I thought at least 1400 units was needed to cap RoR to less than 5% or under.

Australian BJ is unplayable to say the least - dont give these crooks any more of your money! I just been to Star City Casino and the rules are not much better than Melbourne.

1-10 will beat it, but not by a lot, and wonging will help.

Default Premium BJ at Crown

It can be beat.

I averaged 3 hands per hour over 5 hours. Maybe 500 hands for the session.

I would chat to the supervision when the count went negative and let the guy next to me take over.

The soft doubles worked more than I banked on. I won a few soft doubles (A2, A3, A4 and A5 against dealers 3) at high true counts which I could not do at any of the other tables which only allow doubling on 9,10,11.

As for sustaining it, I only play here twice a year these days, so I couldnt say.

Most players get hammered at crown by overbetting/not having enough bankroll. Here you are spot on.
