Now, out of a sudden I...

    team play

    i wouldn't trust a stranger being the Big Player holding most of the funds. You can do the HIT AND RUN from casino to casino to avoid heat. The Big Player can do the TAKE AND RUN from your team to become rich.

    Poll: How many decks do you mostly play?

    6 decks is not effective enough 1 deck seems like it's too obvious being a card counter I play two decks, but I rather play three decks if Reno have any for offer because it should get way less heat than single and double decks but are alot more effective than 6 decks

    Guess Dealer Bottom Card

    simple math??:whip: 7 to 10 equals 7 different value total, 2 to 6 equals 5 value total. 7 plus 5 equals 12. when you go with the 7 to 10 sides, that's 7/12=58.33%...On average, one should guess it right 6 out of 10 times

    Casino help

    Things happen and many times things don't happen the way you want it to be. Since you didn't mention you count cards, i assume you did not. If you only play by the basic strategy, you are still going to lose in the long run. I suggest you read atleast one blackjack book and learn a counting card...

    Question about Hi-Lo, Why Ace = -1

    Card counting is mainly to know when there is a large sum of high cards like ten value cards are still in the deck waiting to be played right. For Hi-Lo counting system, I don't understand why we should label a Ace as -1, because Ace doesn't help the dealer bust at all. Even worst, it helps the...
