    Is the Travel Channel trying to encourage counting

    (also posted on bj21.com) I am a bit of a Vegas junkie so of course in between trips I love watching Vegas Week on the Travel Channel. So far in two of the shows, they have tried to paint counting in such a light that everyone should do it, and hey its legal! So if you are going to play...

    1D 6:5 vs 6D 3:2

    I have been pretty vocal in my discontent over the proliferation of the 6:5 games on the Strip before realizing I didnt know what the calculated house advantage is for the typical Strip SD game vs the typical Strip 6D game. Also, what is a reasonable spread one could get away with at these...

    Pathetic or getting really good?

    I'm laughing just thinking of this... Girlfriend and I are watching one of those Travel Channel shows on Vegas that we enjoy every once in a while. 5 second camera pan of a shoe game being dealt to 6 players. Without even thinking in 2 seconds I blurt out, "PLUS THREE!" "What?" "Nothing, ah...

    Cash Back at Terribles?

    I emailed them for more info but hadnt heard back yet. Supposedly they have a 5-10% cash back program on table game losses at $25/hand and higher. Anyone know if this is a decent deal and whether or not their games make it worth the trip? BTW, where is this place ?

    LVA POV 3:1's - limited or timed?

    Thanks zg. Just to clarify, the GGate is one hour 2:1 (I think the LVA site says 3:1) is that $25 max bet? And the rest of the 3:1's are just one shot coupons good until you hit one (just one) with no time limit? Either way am I correct in assuming this is worth $37?

    LVA POV 3:1's - limited or timed?

    Tried emailing Mayor which managed to blue screen my entire machine. In reading through some past posts I have discovered this newsletter and offhand it looks like an incredible value at $37. I was wondering if people knew offhand about the 3:1 BJ coupons they have listed at a half dozen or so...

    Doubling 11 vs a 2 or 3 with a very low count, DD?

    Thanks Thanks for the input. For me I am probably most comfortable at that point making the double, especially since I was at 1 unit bet. Like any other sport or game, I am finding with counting the name of the game is practice practice practice.

    Need an answer...

    I have a group of 6-8 core friends that come with me at one time or another, usually 3 or so per trip. I have only told one that I count, but not the rest of them. They are all strict BS players, which it took me 3 years to get them to do, the last thing I want them to do is act all suspicious...

    Doubling 11 vs a 2 or 3 with a very low count, DD?

    Been using a number of different programs to practice on lately, just to get the feel of different speeds and environments. Using Yahoo today, DD H17 DOA, on Fast Speed. Count was -8, get 8 3 vs Dealer 3. I realized at that point, this is one of the definite plays that not doubling...
