crown casino melbourne australia

Hello people,
I play at crown about every 2-3 weeks and usually for approx 4 hours at a time.
They use an 8 deck auto shuffle so the odds are about 52% in favour of the house.
I use to do that thing people do and try to beat them using $100 at a time :laugh: ,
But since I found this site and printed out 3 cards on the best standard betting practices I have been turning my $100 into approx 250-450.
The way I now do it is on a 10 dollar table I start when the deck is new and I only bet against the dealer,something a lot of people at tables dont get,they worry about the cards others get dealt or deal,
Howere I do watch for runs of small or large ,and I sometimes increase my bet based on whats seems to be running (woohooo junior card counter in the making)
I also leave when I hit $250 on the table not including the $100 I always put back in my pocket,you have to know when to stop.
Anyway this is the 5th time I have used the knowledge gained from this site and I am up in money and enjoying the game more than I ever have.
Regards Jon

So crown uses 8 decks do they? That makes sense, I had some guy tell me they use 4. Shows hes full of crap.

Are you talking about the continuous shufflers, or just machines that shuffle at the end?

Ill hopefully be hitting crown once I get a bit better.

Any other comments about crown? I might head in there one day just to check it out. I usually hate going there looking at all the silly ppl pumping money into the pokies, hopefully my BJ education will change that.

at star city in sydney where i live they have a 6 deck shoe.

the best thing to always do it ask the dealer they are obliged to tell you how many decks are there etc. if you ask.

i must admit i had fun at crown when i was in melbourne. the amazing thing about crown is i went there on a friday and saturday night walked straight up to a $10 Table and sat down with no problems..

at star city you have to wait for about 20-30 minutes for a seat to become vacant and thats on a tuesday night at like 2am! or any weird time you decide to go and play!

fri/sat nights forget about it. you cant even see the table your standing so far away.. its either $25 table or nothing. LOL

its just there way of trying to get people to become impaitent and play $25 table.
