My buddy of mine is starting to get into counting, but insists on using an unbalanced count, as he is worried about dividing, etc at the table. I know you will have to TC to figure out when to leave the shoe, but what would be the wong-in point in the following game? H17, DAS, RSA, 5/6, no...

Just re-watched the movie. Caught this line during their coffee house scene. The girls were arguing to always split 8's, compared to not splitting against tens. I was under the assumption it is less costly to split the 8's. The exception being TC 8 (HI lo TC), in which case you stand...

If I interpret the laws correctly, this is using an outside, electronic devise to help beat the casino. Hence, illegal. Use chips, fingers, or just practice keeping the count better.

I think mine came this last weekend. I was playing 3 spots of table max, and was dealt 88, 66, 44 against a 5 up. I had been getting heat for the entire stay so far, so I figured, heck, why not go for broke here. So I split the 88s first, hit another 8, as well as an 11. I split the...

I just got news from my buddy in the area, basically letting me know I made a mistake. Enough people on this forum went and destroyed that game. I hope it was as effective for everyone as I thought it was going to be when I made the trip!

Well, it's in a really remote area. It would be quite hard for enough people to make that trip and wipe this game out. I'm sorry though, I didn't know about the "don't tell" rule.

Continuous Shuffling Machines. Meaning, the cards are, well, continuously shuffled. The more intricate details of these machines can probably be explained by someone else that is far smarter than me. I personally have refused to sit down at these tables. (thankfully near-by casino's don't...

I will have to make this trip. I just can't justify leaving the casino I am currently working, they have no objections me back-betting, or wonging out of a shoe once it hits south and just standing and counting. If you want more info about the location, etc, send me a PM!

It actually is as described. I have a friend that went last night and played at it, called me and told me I need to make a trip home to play. So, if I went and flat bet, say 25 (I'm scared to destroy my bankroll, 2000 will only play me 40 hands of 50, 80 of 25), and wonged out when the count...

It is a small casino, and the "pit boss" is just an entire floor manager. They are offering 3:2 + original payout, so 5:2. If it's a suited BJ, its paying 3:2 + 3x Original payout. So say with a 50 dollar bet, BJ would pay 75+50, or suited would be 75+150. The casino is advertising it...

So, out of curiosity, is this worth making the road trip to go to? It's in a small reserve, with only 2 blackjack tables, one pit, etc in Northern Manitoba, Canada.

Hey all. Brand new to posting on this forum, not new to reading it. If you want to skip my introduction, you can skip the next 2 paragraphs. Just to start it off, I have been playing BJ seriously for around 6 months. I realize this is not a long time at all, but I have invested every...
