ya sounds like your doing well lately. Thats pretty awesome I haven't been to the casino in a couple weeks but your post just inspired me to go now!

Just started reading this the other night. I have only read through 2 chapters so far but found a good point in it I thought I should point out. This is something Zengrifter told Barfarkel for advice. When I first started playing I was making the same mistake. Anyways even if you are only a...

thanks I was curious to see the actual numbers.

I know the correct play for this (even with the surrender rule) is to still split your 8's vs a 10, but I really don't understand it. Also I used to think you were supposed to surrender because I could swear in casino verite I was told to surrender with dual 8's vs the 10. I believe I had only...

Sounds pretty horrible to me. Even if it was a legit game. The fact that the dealer puts multiple unseen cards in the tray could really screw up your count fast.

just ordered it can't wait tell it arrives.

well according to BS yes you stand on 13vs2

yah i have about a 4k bank roll. I am using a betting strategy from 1-8 units with a 5 dollar minimum bet.

Has anyone noticed that some books have different versions of the Illustrious 18. I am sure you are thinking that it is because it changes based on the amounts of decks you are playing versus. However in Kevin Blackwoods Play Black Jack like the pros he states the version posted in his book is...

thanks for the tip. What exactly do you mean by optimal betting techniques, and betting strategies. Not exactly sure what your talking about, but I am assuming just betting according to what the count dictates? If so I do already do that.

Best next step Hi, I just got into blackjack about 2 months ago but have practiced a lot. I am using the High-low count and now easily able to count at a casino. However I just finished learning the Illustrious 18, and am not sure what I want to do next. I feel like learning a new count...

If you look back at my last question I asked about shuffle tracking. books on it and what not anything about my personal life. So your answering a question I never asked.

Why does everyone make so many assumptions? I live in a condo pay for all my own shit since I was 18 I have my own car its paid off. 30 k isn't a whole lot of money but when your a single guy with only rent, car insurance,cell phone, food gas and other expenses you have a ton of money left...

ok I started this thread and I feel there is a lot of wrong assumptions going on. First I dropped out of school like I said, but I do have a full time job. I'm only 21 (birthday today) but I make 30 grand after taxes as a barback. So I make a pretty decent living for a young dude. Second...

has anyone here had much experience with shuffle tracking? I have read about it a little bit in some black jack books, but they don't really cover much on it. Is there any books out there specifically designed to teach shuffle tracking?
