Ich weiss nicht... Mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht und ich nicht verstehen kann. Though I'm interested, do you know if there is an english translation?

When you count cards, your advantage depends on the rules of the game, your bet spread, and how you play. My understanding is that you don't have an advantage meaning that you will win more hands, but your advantage is related to your expected value, for example, when the count gets high, you...

Prankster, please see this thread, I'm not sure how reliable Phatus is, never saw a status update from him but maybe this will help you out. http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bb/showthread.php?t=8741 KJ

This is interesting for a new guy like me... What I think is stick with the original strategy since statistically, you will most likely bounce back to your expected value or close with some variance. Changing your RoR to stay at 5% will take even longer to get back to breaking even. Though, if...

I like the idea of keeping an extra wallet, I have never thought of that... I go to a school that is in one of the worst cities in the U.S. The campus is usually very safe, but every once in a while there is an incident (a friend of mine was robbed at gunpoint walking home from class...

Yeah, I saw a girl who had one... Said she bought it at the casino gift shop.

I third that. Also, Beers, make sure to read the thread "An Introduction to Card Counting (Please Read Before Posting New Threads)" by iCountNTrack... That seemed to be very helpful information.

On a side story, that night at the casino I was down $80 until another player started teaching me basic strategy and I picked up on quickly so I got up to ~$600 by BS and some luck (would like to say educated deviations in my play but yeah, it was luck). When I got to that point, I pocketed...

I was thinking about this during some of my free-time at work today and here's what I came up with... My time playing blackjack (first and only time) after the shoe was done (7/8 pen), the dealer put those cards into what I believe was an automatic shuffler and pulled out another deck from...

Thank you for the valuable input, guys! Kewljason, I actually broke even that night, like I said for now I am doing this for fun and will welcome any profit that comes my way. As I stated I have been practicing all week on basic strategy and a running count of one deck, and trust me, after...

Hey everyone!!! Last Friday was my first time at a casino and first time playing blackjack and I had a blast. After getting home, I proceeded to research the game and game across advantage playing. Prior to this I never had much interest in it (even after "21" came out which inspired a lot of...
