Since by staying you can only win if the dealer busts, so you can expect to win 35.67% of these hands. If you hit, you can expect to bust and lose 61% of the time. Of the 39% you do not bust sometimes the dealer doesn't bust but beats your hand, so the number of wins will be less than the 61%. I...

Are you crazy!!!!! Not only will you take the dealer's bust card on that hand, you will ruin the flow. You NEVER ruin the flow when the table is on a streak, only when they are losing in which case the person at third base must be sacrificed (like a virgin) to restore the flow.

Then why does it seem like my 12's always bust? :flame: I just may hate 12 more than 17!

I rarely give others advice at the table. Recently a guy with friends also playing got 5-5. vs a dealer 6. He kept going back and forth with friends saying "you can split them if you want" and the dealer saying "It's his money, he can do what he wants" and yadda, yadda. Finally I said...

Was at Seneca Niagara first time in a while. Sorry to say the use of CMS seems to increase. On a Thurs PM all tables outside of the High Limit room were CSM. After 3PM and on Fri and Sat some regular hand shuffled $10-15 tables without CSM. They advertise "$5 BJ all the time" and that was true...

Wow, I'm in the wrong business! How hard will parking to find and at what cost be if I rented a car?

Wowm $40 rooms that week makes a strong case. That $100 less than Wynn or Paris can pay for a LOT of cab rides.

Wynn has rooms starting at $166 that week. Wish I could find cheaper air fare from Buffalo.

What if it's the week I turn 60? :-)

I hear prices are cheap and am thinking about a vegas trip right after Labor Day. I'll play BJ, but that's not the primary purpose of the trip, so am wondering what 4-5 star hotels people here might recommend. Especially want in a classy & romantic place near some entertainment. We...

Don't know about a casino cashier, but in some places a bank teller would be fired if this happens and they can't recover the over payment. Do you want to be somewhat responsible for some poor soul losing their job?

I guess it does depend on the sim and how it expresses the edge, but the strategy engine here expresses a house edge in the negative when the player has an advantage. For instance, it shows: 1 deck, S17, DAS, Early Surrender, Peek Estimated casino edge for these rules: -0.77 % 8...

Reality Therapy or Tough Love is sometimes th ebest approach. Maybe Kashi should have said "I love you man, but here's what you have ti do ...." He's right in topic and right in delivery. Some people are lucky and catch their addiction before they hit bottom. Others keep going back and...

It says "very slight" advantage If this game is "double anything" and late surrender, a perfect strategy might give you a .2 advantage. If the limits are low, a BS player isn't going to net much in the long run. A counter witjh a wide bet spred will probably quickly be banned. Overall most...

You need to quit. As others said, the gambling is controlling you, you're not controlling the gambling because you can't. There's no shame in thatm, you gave it a try and don't have the temperment. Self hatred is something that only fosters the cycle of any addiction. In my experience with 12...
