I was curious. If the count gets high in a 6D, No Surrender, DAS when do I hold an advantage and when do I not? Let's say the count gets high right away, say 10 over the key count early on. About one or two decks in. Do I hold an advantage here or is there too many decks left? Same goes...

Do any online casinos offter freeroll tournaments?

A cousin of mine, whom I dont know too well, married into the tribe that owns Mystic Lake. I should see if he can comp me $200 in chips, or atleast get me a few buffets. His wife did buy him a $10,000 rolex for an engagement present after all.

Report: Up $30. I used KO system to count the cards. First two or three shoes I couldn't keep up with the count if my life depended on it, mainly because I was antsy about not taking too long on my hands. Eventually I settled down and cared less, and the count came to me. I played...

I've been practicing counting down a deck in hi-lo fashion for about a week now. I'll do about an hour a day so I'm getting comfortable with speed and 90% of the time end up with a count of zero. I'm going to the casino tomorrow most likely and wish to use KO. Let me make sure I have a few...

For clarification the casino I play at only offers 6d shoes.

I'm still a little uncertain what is worth the most of my money. From the sounds of it KO is a bit more unreliable but much easier and will give you a pretty good return. I've looked at KO compared to Hi-Lo and it says that BE is barely higher in HI-Lo and PE is actually higher for KO. If...

I've been practicing the Hi-Lo system lately and while I've read it slightly outperforms the KO system in the long run, I'm sure the KO system is many times easier and less mentally taxing. I usually go the casino once a week and usually bring small amounts of $100 to $3 minimum bet tables...

I personally do not trust online casinos. You aren't there to see all the happenings so I find it hard to ever trust one.

Well ladies and gentlemen I did decent. For being there for only 3 hours I managed to go from $80 to $75 after losing $5 at the video poker machine. Then I laid down $40 for blackjack. I got it up to about $75. I then converted xx amount of chips so I had my starting amount ($80) that I...

Just keep betting minimum when I suspect the count is good? If I somehow tally up a negative in my head don't play then?

Are there any times you don't use the basic strategy? For instance if you had 16 and the dealer had 8. The book says to hit, but say you had a hunch would you stand?

Yeah I wasn't going to try to perfectly count, just keep a rough estimate of how many -1 and +1 cards have gone through. I was thinking this should be a rough betting guideline: Go to a table with a fresh shoe. Bet minimum ($3). If I win go to $4. If I lose stay at $3. If I win go...

Hey guys, This will be my 4th time playing blackjack in a casino setting. I've studied card counting and practiced it (I by no means have even a foothold on it though), and I plan to bring a "hit-stand" strategy chart (is it best to follow it religously or use it as a general guide?) with me...
