Is there a way to change the composition of the deck in CVCX to test different Spanish 21 strategies? I see the option in CVData. I'm relatively new to QFIT's software and I'm still trying to find my way around it.

I am having trouble with any software in general. I can count, I cant go virtual computer testing strategies. Ive been reading a lot about Spanish 21, sounds like it has amazing advantages over other methods. So I am out to get a hold of new information. I am actually new to this whole thread/forum so I don't really know how it works, but if you know anything that could really help me out on Spanish 21 I would be highly appreciative. Books, I could try software (always trying) or website, I would be greatful. Sorry I couldnt help on your problem. :(

The book you are looking for is "The Pro's Guide to Spanish 21 and Australian Pontoon" by Katarina Walker. She has covered the subject very well and shows how you can get the advantage in S21. The general idea is that even with the loss of some bonuses, you get a whole bunch of new ones that, while changes the EOR (Effect of Removal), can still use traditional counting systems to beat the game.

I think the only way to sim S21 (with QFITs software) is in CVData. With CVData, you can change the rules and bonuses to reflect those found in S21. CVCX uses regular BJ rules

Okay thanks, that's what I was beginning to think.

Sleightofhand pretty much covered it. Katrina's book is very helpful although I'm still working my way through it and haven't attacked a SP21 game yet. Still waiting until I have it down pat.

I have just done a lot of research on the book. I will go ahead and get it. Sounds like it would help a lot. So you have read it and still have yet to go head in and try it out? Yes, I get it, I wouldn't either! I am still waiting to get most of it all down, and when I mean all I pretty much mean counting in general. Girls get a lot of crap for doing a "guy" sport. I don't have much support. I figured I would start with a system I have heard good things about. Start on the top! never the bottom. Thanks for everyone's advice. Looks like I have another book to add to my growing book collection.

Thanks for your help! I will take any advice that is offered. (that is not completely illogical) I am a huge reader so I think that book could give me some really good information. I am always up for better advantages. Thanks!

A word to the wise is sufficient.

Katarina Walker's book answers your question.

A link to get her P.O.D. (Print on Demand) book is embedded on the page explaining Spanish 21 [At the page's end. See acknowledgements] on wizardofodds.com:

Be careful not to wear those rose colored glasses that are inflating your fantasy re: easy money.

The only thing about Spanish21 that makes the game very good, is that, presuming that you have a huge bankroll, is that most casinos will not hassle you too much spreading 20-1 or 30-1.

This has been rapidly changing.

I have been "bet-restricted" and "half-shoed" playing Spanish 21 with max. bets of $200.

"Forewarned is forearmed."
