you won't find £3 tables in London. Most places with shoes have mins of £10 Fri/Sat. Napoleon still sticks with £5 min at the weekend though, and it's 4 deck :) but pen is very dealer specific.

75 - 80%

Empire in Leicester Sq uses a shoe. Six decks, DAS, stand s17.

training at the casino Hey guys, i've been doing the same thing as brokensaints, backcounting a £5 table then wonging at +2, flatbetting, playing BS and Il18 and wonging out at 0. But jeez isn't this keeping the count thing whilst playing damn difficult!! But i'm really thinking this...

4D games in London Hey guys, anyone know any other 4 deck games in London other than at the casino that's been mentioned? How much more advantageous is a 4D game than a 6D one? And what is the maths behind it? I find that the TC gets *much* higher in the 6D game (75% pen). The highest...

I guess my act is rubbish last night, i was backcounting this shoe but it didn't get positive enough for me to join in. I did end up staying there long enough to get attention from the pit boss though. He asked me "why don't you get in on the action?" I just said "er, I'm not sure if...

Harman, yeah I figure you're right. I have a colleague from work who's my counting buddy but between us our BR is really meagre. I guess it'd be more exciting with more funds.

Yep, have the Il18 down now so I get that. Being a lone female card counter sucks. You get so many men trying to strike up a conversation with you. Last night I was wonging at some place and this guy was trying small talk with me while the dealer was reshuffling the shoe. Well of course that...

Can't be for real Who actually writes on their resume that they're a card counter?

Hey, this counting business can get a bit lonely/antisocial, so i was wondering if any other London-based counters want to meet up and discuss tactics/play together? Shed

I reckon they're as sharp as in Vegas. Or at least it's a good idea to think they are. Someone on the boards said that counting's not very common in the UK, well I'm not so sure. At a table I was backcounting tonight, a player was joking about counting with the dealer and the dealer goes "I...

bad night tonight Hey guys, well me and my friend lost our entire BR tonight of £120. It finally had to happen I guess. The feeling of losing is so crushing though. First off tonight, I played at a 6 deck game, 80% pen, wonged in when the RC was +20 (!) and won 3 hands. So I doubled my...

Pen Everywhere I've seen so far is 80%.

has anyone on the forum lost all their BR playing BS?

I would have just continued. I'm realising you have to be strong psychologically to be a good BJ player, so recognising swings when you see them and not getting scared. Someone in the other thread about female players said that with BS you won't make money; it will just limit your losses. But...
