Are casinos really so stupid that they would choose to kick out a winning player for being drunk, but allow an equally drunk losing player to stay? By this logic, the best card counter in the world experiencing negative variance would be considered a worse player then the worst blackjack...

My deck estimation isn't the greatest. It might have been a little better. But I doubt it was any lower then 1 deck.

Alright, so I need to hold off till I can increase my bank roll, my game still needs some work anyways. I have a general idea of what I should be spreading to make the trip worth it in the long run. Now I need to save up so I have a better chance of lasting till the long run. $4000 if I'm...

From BC but visiting in a difference area of it right now. I was taking a look at some of the casinos in town. I saw the double deck game and thought that there might be a chance at playing a decent game, even if it was a small chance.

I knew this method wouldn't be able to create positive EV. I was hoping it could at least reduce the house edge by a small amount. Forgot to consider the effect of a higher bet in a negative edge. It seems like the best way to reduce how much you lose in EV without counting would be by flat...

I figured it would be pretty costly if I wanted an advantage. What would be better, playing all headsup. Or wonging very aggressively with an average of 3 other players. I would guess the second option, less variance that way anyways. What would be my hourly rate if I played heads up...

That's the site I saw, but the casino was in BC. Probably the same rules for the double deck games though. I thought being double deck it might make up for some of the bad rules, guess not. Thanks.

Geez, I forgot a lot of stuff. Sorry. It's Hit soft 17. I play using HiLo with about 20 indices. Lost my very small bankroll in the past couple sessions I played. I only had about $300. I'm going to save up till I have a real bankroll before I play again. I was hoping that this topic will...

Could a person reduce the house edge by a small amount by using a progression? Like, lets say I raise my bet 1 unit every time I lose, and lower it 1 unit every time I win. 5x is the max. If you win on a min bet, then you wait till you win twice to raise it again. If you lose on a max bet...

Yeah, I just keep forgetting to grab some before I leave after a session. Sorry, forgot about the pen. 1.5 decks. So 75% pen right?

The nearest casino to me is a hour and a half drive. Costs me just over $30 for gas for the trip. Weekdays they offer only 3 games. One is a CSM, one is 8 deck machine shuffle and 10 dollar min. The other is 5-500 6 deck hand shuffled. Weekend they offer a lot more 6 deck hand shuffled...

I would imagine that the casino would rather you play the second spot then no one. You could complain and say you want to play the spot, though I guess it's not really that big of a deal. You'd probably just attract unwanted attention by making a fuss.

Nooksack River Casino in Abbotsford BC. I read that they offer double deck games on there website. Can anyone confirm this, or is it 6:5 blackjack? Do they deal double deck from a CSM? Would they maybe only deal one hand before a shuffle? Awful rules? Or is it maybe a good game?

I only saw the casino in West Edmonton Mall. They were all 6 deck, machine shuffle and dealt from a shoe. The limits were 10 to 500 I think. No 5 dollar tables except on weekends after 7. 1.5 pen. They didn't deal a hole card and didn't offer surrender against aces, so I guess that would be...

All very good advice. Though I still think going to the casino at 2am is the best idea xD
