I guess I was wrong, and the casinos do care (albeit just a little).... I was half-shoed after splitting tens against a six on the last hand of the shoe. I had two hands of $60 each, and won $180 when the dealer busted and I won all three (two original hands, one of which I split) hands. The...

Thanks to assume R for the info. I know which surrenders to do at this point- the 16 vs 9,T,A hands. Much appreciated. :-) Flash- the HE at a typical SP21 S17 game is around .004. By betting $5.50 and getting $3 back on surrender, I decrease my variance (surrendering more often), decrease...

I found a store which would allow me to get 54.5% back on a Spanish 21 (S17) surrender (as opposed to the standard 50%- I would be getting $3 back from a $5.50 bet). While I know I would be more likely to surrender a hand or two, without a chart like...

Deciding which index numbers to use also depends on where you play. In A.C., I rarely find less than 1.25/8 decks cut off, so the TC never really goes above +7. There is no point in learning any index numbers that are slightly below that either, since an index number of +6, even if the TC is...

When I first started counting after turning 21, I would brag to my friends about how good I was- the Atlantic City casinos had no clue what I was doing... It was only years later that I determined that most places likely knew I was counting, and didn't care- they would still give me free...

I thought I could learn to count at Spanish 21 without buying a $25 book. My plan- get general guidelines from other posters in this forum that give away enough of Walker's strategy (tags for each card, starting running count at -4*decks), get index numbers from "Kasi" (ninth post at...

Anyone know the best game curently offered in Atlantic City, NJ? I have heard rumors over past visits that there may be places that offer better than the standard, which is resplit up to 2 times. Any offer 6 decks, Surrender, or anything out of the norm?

Mind if I ask which casino you went to, and which you reccomend for me? Last time I went to AC, I found out that I was not allowed to resplit, and was told by another player at the table that at another casino (he didn't know which, he was at many that day) you could resplit up to four hands...
