DD h17 ndas d10 70-75%

I have a big bet out, just bought insurance. Count is just over true 4. My index for 15 v A is true 5. Playing a NHC game. Do I hit or stand. I say hit. I'm having a debate with another counter who says stand because of the insurance.

Your story sounds familiar... almost seems like I was writing it. Just the other day I was playing a real decent game, up 5 max bets, thinking of calling it a day. Well conditions were great and I stick around. The downward trend begins immediately. First shoe I drop 3 mbs. Next hour or so I...

Never mind CSMs... I dont know if I trust all ASMs...

Ouch! Just dropped 11 max bets in about 1 hour. :(

This is good advice. Be prepared mentally and financially to drop 30-35 max bets in 1-2 session. Just the other day I was playing with another counter who was not prepared and busted out mid-shoe at True 6. Dont let this happen. My worst hit was 16 max bets in about 6 hours - it stung - but I...

True, but NHC works both ways. Many cards are saved when playing heads-up and using es-10 properly.

IMO the game is good if you can get 75%. With s17 and es-10 the house edge is nice and low.

What could happen if you have been backed off from a store using your real ID then you come back a few months later with a fake ID, are able to play for a period of time and generate comps, then the casino somehow realizes your true identity? Obviously it would result in another BO or 86'ing but...

Does anyone know TKO's advantage by count? Is it similar to HiLo's? I have been generating HiLo bet spreads and using them for TKO. Am I safe using this method? Thanks

I play at casinos that offer $2 and $3 tables with good pen/rules and no its not 1969.

After catching 5 dealer mistakes that favoured the house the other day, 2 with max bet, I sometimes wonder if certain dealers are trained or encouraged to try and intentally rip-off players the casino has determined they don't like. :( The mistakes ranged from taking pushes, paying BJ 1:1 and...

I need some mathematical help to come up with a startagy for a game I discovered. If you are willing to help PM me.

Not only was this ploppy quick with his decisions but he was convinced that he would make money if 3 hands were played vs the dealer. So when the count was low I would play 1 hand and he would play 2. Count rises, I play 2 hands and he goes down to 1. I wong out and he playes 3 hands and eats...

I have been using TKO for awile now and using REKO-f indices from QFIT's online book Modern BJ. I convert them to TC by assuming the index is at the mid way point in a shoe (ex. 3/6) then calculate the TC. For example, A8v5 (6d h17) is a double at 18 RC (irc-0). I calculate 18RC at the 3/6 point...
