A couple days ago I'm back-counting attempting to appear intimidated by the table. All the guys and the dealer are saying, "Don't be scared sweety, you just have to add the cards up to 21...we won't bite" blah, blah, blah...I'm going along with the dumb broad act while the whole time thinking...

Interesting Apparantly, I've been "flooring," but wasn't up on the lingo yet. It just seems that people make it more difficult than necessary. I.E. If we have a a RC of + 18 with 2.5 decks remaining, I would go with +6 to be conservative. 18/3 = 6 or 18/2 = 9. If you weren't playing with any...

That would be my next question then. How does the law of indepence come into play if you play at a variety of casinos?

Here's a crazy question. For easy math, lets say a great counter wins 52% of the time and loses 48% of the time. If you are on your losing streak, why can't you play online, for free, or at your kitchen table to overcome it...at least a little. I know, crazy, but it shouldn't matter if you're at...

With HILO 6-Deck shoe, how often do you calculate the TC? After each deck? Do you use fractions or round to a conservative figure?

Females I love how a thread entitled "Female Blackjack Counters" can drum up 114 posts in no time. It really is an awesome advantage!

Make sure you practice counting in pairs. Check out this site: http://www.lastresortconsulting.com/practice-class/counting/ It is much more valuable then counting down in 26 seconds. Then, back-count at a couple different tables before sitting down! Practice converting RC to TC and what you...

Fellow female counter here...hey ladies! :o

BTW...a 66% chance could only occur if you were able to choose 2 cards right of the bat, which isn't the case.

No, it's 50 out of 66. You have a 50% chance of choosing the correct card...out of the 2 remaining cards, which represent the remaining 66% or 2/3.

Ummm.....I don't think so.

Regarding the famous Monty Hall Problem, I saw a thread somewhere offering much confusion on the equation. For the famous, pick one of three door's to reveal a car or a goats problem...here's how it works: Out of three doors you choose door # 1. You have a 1/3 chance (a.k.a. 33%, a.k.a...

When I first started counting about 6 months ago, I came across a 6 part instructional video on you tube that I can't seem to find now. The host appeared to be italian, maybe 30ish sitting at a desk. It seemed very thorough, but over my head at the time. You guys know what I'm talking about?

Math Typo...+ 5 / 2 would be a plus 2, being conservative. Sorry and don't do that at a table...lol.

Hilo Learn HILO and practice everyday all day before you go. Don't jump into a table until it's at least at a +2. Jump out as soon as it's negative. As far as TC goes, just be conservative. TC is RC / # of decks remaining. Just be conservative and keep the math easy. If you're at a +4 and...
