Wow.. This movie looks terrible.. I think I will take ZG's advice and get a file sharing version.. No one would put up with me pointing out how unrealistic and exaggerated parts in this film are if I were to go to a theatre..

Anyone hear of blackjack wave?

I thought most of the people on this site were AP players? The only time tipping becomes +EV is when you have to so you can continue playing, i.e. keep a dealer quiet, a little further penetration, to keep cover, etc. I think it's safe to say few people would whip it out and start...

Hmm, if you are looking to make a sizable profit from playing poker, whether online or live, you shouldn't bother with limit poker. Although the strategies between limit and no-limit are very different, taking the time to learn how to effectively use pot odds, all-in bets, etc, will yield a much...

supercoolman! Are you "Brain Man"? :laugh:

My appologies, I seem to have overlooked something. What QFIT had stated about the guy's program, "you can beat roulette without any defects in the wheel/table". That is also theoretically true. If you, or a computer, could perform the necessary calculations in time, it is entirely possible. The...

The game of roulette is not beatable. It is strictly a game of chance, with the odds against you. You can not gain an advantage by playing roulette. What you can beat is the the wheel, the table, the ball, etc. You are not playing to beat the game, you are playing to beat the physical conditions...

6 decks, H17 is definitly not the "worst possible game" you can play by any means. For example, 6:5 blackjack yields a much higher -EV than H17. Also, if you are playing side bets to make money, there are very few that have potential for a +EV, and that is only when the count is high enough...

I think your first problem is trying to hustle money from a charity casino ;) lol jk jk. Well, I guess that is if you believe in karma. But seeing as how I do not, let's think rationally. The rules you describe can be beaten. Aside from your bet spread, think about trying to play only in...

Yea it is a great story.. But then again.. Bojack could have just made a second screen name and made the whole thing up and then replied to his post with his regular screen name! Hahaha just kidding, just kidding..

Joel read this post I copied and pasted from hitorstand.net and maybe you will at least open your mind to some different concepts: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have to share what is now my favorite casino story. I have never been a big fan...

hahahahaha

Exhibit CAA: Beyond Counting Does anyone know when "Exhibit CAA: Beyond Counting" will be released? Also, is it a completely different book than "Beyond Counting"? Or, is it exactly the same as "Beyond Counting", just elaborating, improving, and adding certain topics?

I was wondering if QFIT or anyone who owns a copy of CVCX could tell me if it has the ability to graph a simulation for 'X' number of hands, vs. 'Y' expected return. Yes, you could just theoretically calculate it at any given point, but I am interested to see the entire graph and variance...

Has anyone ever thought about counting at online casinos that offer live blackjack? Coupled with bonuses that allow you to clear your wagering requirement by playing blackjack seems like it can be powerful, considering no distractions, no heat, and any resources you have at home. Also, one...
