I got asked this at the table today by a guy that thinks its impossible to card count for multiple decks. Brief story of how it went. I got killed in a 12+TC for 3 decks remaining in a 6 deck game, lost about $30 but I was in shock cause the dealer was making these amazing 20's and 21's...

1)I haven't tried asking for drinks as I play way to small, im sure they do it but no one seems to order drinks even if they are playing big. 2)I had just as much to do with the hand as the dealer (nothing). But if you really want to look into it if I didn't play that hand or skipped a hand...

I saw a guy today that used this as a betting scheme. 5,15,45,150 he made it through 2 shoes and was making money off every other hand. But finally the 3rd deck came and he got killed. his 4th bet was even a double down a soft 14 vs a 5. The funny thing is before I sat down I...

I don't know if you guys have this type of table but its called a "lucky lucky table". Its a side bet on the black jack table (Your first 2 cards plus the dealers face up card make up the cards for the side bet)and I was at a table where a guy hit a suited 777. Which pays 100:1 and he had the...

hmmm thats never come up but thinking about I would say. If i do make my hand more often then not the dealer is going to hit a face card so I will either push or win. Compared to if I do hit my hand on 16 vs 10 and I will still get killed.

whoa that is pretty badass! haha I would love to try one of those out. I wonder if theres a timer on there or a bank timer when you need a few more seconds to think. Anyone know where there are some of these machines in canada?

Thats insane! I thought 5-200 was already a big bet spread.

I was just curious what your highest true count using whatever system has been. I personally have seen +18 and got killed on that.

What do you suggest for a spread? Also how much would you bring to a table.

I use to play poker, but its just to cruel of a game. As you can tell I have a pretty short temper from my last few posts on here telling you my "horror" stories. I am actually a really decent poker player but I find poker is way harder mentally then counting cards hours on end. Here's one...

First of all I would like to say I'm new to these boards and I do know the basics of counting. I can keep a high-lo count no problem through 6 decks and true count. But it seems everytime I go into the casino and want to challenge myself mentally and try to give myself a edge. I get my...

im going to have to steal that line and use it one day. I usaully explain to them theres 13 cards and I have 5 outs, you do the math. If you don't like me surrendering you can buy my hand off of me.(Try it you can sometimes get lucky and get someone to give you your full bet back, but I play...

I wish I was as level headed as you. If someone bugged me I would just unleash hell on them. Maybe more time will fix that.

opps my bad "double on any 2 cards"
