hello everyone, just an update on me (I've been MIA for awhile) my wife and I are process of packing and moving. (and before that looking for a place to move too) I'm hoping that after this weekend I can get back to the game.

I tried to figure out where the article got it's numbers from but my numbers come out closer to Sonny's then the article ..

just curious but what is a standard Deviation on a flat bet game with a -0.55 edge? is your result for the 8000+ hands within one standard deviation?

I've seen something like this happen.. I was playing with a Spanish21 game the starting count I have is -32 and at the top of the first shoe after starting the game if I check, it also reports a TC of -32 (this is with a 8 deck shoe) after the first hand the TC is correct... but note: I have...

Well I can't beat you for number of hands played, I'm currently at 1004 played but I am up $1,098 but I have a very impressive win rate of 7.34%.. something tells me that this win rate is in for a little bit of negative correction... needless to say switching between BJ and spanish 21...

when any idea when the new version is to come out? (I need to upgrade from 3 and I thought .. should I wait till 5 comes out or upgrade to 4?) would the cost of upgrading from 3 to 5 or from 4 to 5 be reduced from the full price of the software?

speaking of the graphs being able to see just the last shoe results would be great if playing a marathon session.

I have version 3.0 of CVBJ so this might have been fixed in version 4.0 in playing a spanish 21 game with the strategy found on the the wizard of odds site or Katarina's Book, the number of card dependant strategies don't seem to work quite right...(this is withthe warning on strategy error...

I'm at 862 hands .. and +$887.50 this is after last weekend. my EV is currently $114... 1 Standard Dev $724 Low 1 SD -$610 High 1 SD $838 2 STD Dev $1447 Low 2 SD -$1333 High 2 SD $1562 Looks like I'm within 2 std dev but outside 1 std dev... interesting

we can't all be up... I'll hopefully get to play this weekend that should reverse my score.

your right I can't beat you ... but I can come close.. 447 hands ... $625 extra in my pockets I'm using Hi-Lo and SageFrog's Bet Spread... TC <=1 $10 TC = 2 $25 TC >= 3 $50 I've a attached an image of my charts.. now I just have to attempt to use the spreadsheet to record my...

I'm playing with Indexes even though I don't know them .. I will learn them .. plus it's only 18 how hard can that be.. I learnt how to count from the Gamemaster website and then got blackbelt in black jack .. I find true count conversions easier then True Edge stuff Arnold talks about ...

I had a trial run last night ... and I must say with Hi-lo lite, Arnold's book was open for much of the experience. if I was in a real casino I'd be out quickly. few things I learned: 1) I can much more easily keep the count in a DD game 2) I need to learn my index plays better 3) I'm...

I can open up SageFrog's latest spreadsheet so does this mean we are ready to start? I've managed to get the game setup on CVBJ so I think I'm ready.

I'm able to view them both now .. I had to download some compatibility stuff from Microsoft to get SageFrog's file to work... if I get what his bet spread says in that document.. TC<=1 Bet $10 TC=2 bet $25 TC>=3 bet $50 is this correct?
