Wrong.:cool2:

Wow Im frustrated. Okay, so I've been trying to calculate all this crap using CV. But, my numbers never add up and I just cant figure it out. Okay, $10,000 BR/20$ units= 500 Units. Now, after 10,000 hands I would like to have 750 Units. Standard dev. I get for $20unit/average bet...

Von, from what I've been reading, the way we APers win is by pretty much bertting, and more importantly, Doubling Down appropriately at the proper TC, not by winning more hands than the house. You will lose more hands. When you increase your bet spread like your supposed to, your double down...

Casino Verite software. You can practice everything with it man. It's definitely helped improve my skills as far as sim's go. Plenty of options so that you can pretty much set up any type of casino scenario and prepare for it. Anything from game rules to casino heat. Hell it'll even let you...

Yeah man thats how I was doing things when I was into Hi-Lo. Makes life easier. A lot of people actually recommend that you wait until after every player has their first card dealt to them to start counting. So, you start counting when everyone is getting their second card and then...

Whats the point? Making the count even and all sounds good, but you said yourself ...it doesn't really help either side. So whats the point? That said, one of my favorite sayings is, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". My 2 cents, but I have no expertise with AP yet so...I too am curious what...

Man, this is a real motivating thread. To me, it proves that with practice, dedication and know how in AP anyone can render the casinos helpless. You started with $500 (then got real lucky that you caught the good end of the variance early because your bets were risky), and now you have 37k...

The TC is in fact no issue. :cool2: Thanks man. So what I get from that is that you personally consider the Mentor count easier/better due to the unique 2D TC. Also, the Mentor count is just as, if not more (due to ease), effective than the Zen count. Correct?

100% correct. I should've clarified that. I was trying to stress the importance of playing numerous hands, but that would definitely give a noob the wrong idea. Good eye.

I was making this HUGE mistake also. Sort of worked out though because I was practicing Hi-Lo and I realized...Screw Hi-Lo. Now, I'm waiting on the Zen master (and whoever else:cool2: ) to help me decide between the Zen and Mentor counts. So, I'm now just practicing BS until yeah...I know it...

Hey man, nice post. You seem to be well informed and have the right idea about APing. Funny how I'm saying this like Ima pro, but I cant even get into a casino for like 8 months. Anyway, I also like your message to all use potential ploppies who are going to rush to vegas thinking we are APing...

Hey Zen, I was reading over some of your earlier posts, and you seem to be a big supporter of the zen counts. You said that both Zen and Unbalanced Zen were the best counts in the two catigories, but at the same time, you seem to be a huge supporter of the mentor count. So, Im just wondering...

^ Damn...don't know how I missed the formula in the link. Stupid. Its much more simplistic too. Leads me to wonder wth all that crap I posted is for...maybe Immediate ROR? If so, I still would like to know how to plug in the numbers to that formula! Now, off to find the formula to figure win...

Well, I'm not yet a counter, but I like to think I have some common sense :cool2:. So, if anything, I'd go ahead and sum it up as very lazy insufficient counting. I'd also say you are probably not really gaining an advantage, but rather...giving the house a bit less of an advantage. However you...
