Mgm Early Nov., MGM was very empty during the day - I don't know about evenings.

Practice conclusions on te BJ Trainer. I been running lots of practices on the BJ Trainer – about 100 games so far. My research is to see if BS coupled with a - ballparking the count – method, and patience gives an appreciable advantage. I did 6D and 8D (about 30% pen) with and w/o counting...

SOH - Thanks. Excuse the misposting, you guys are great ;-))

I assume that the bets must vary in order to win. But, if playing BS (and not counting), there are only two ways to vary bet – lower when in losing trends and higher in a winning trend (I am guessing that a losing trend occurs at least 50% more than winning trend). But its all random, and player...

I found count trainer I found this: http://www.countingedge.com/blackjack-card-counting-trainer.html Pretty nice.

Hello, I been practicing on this and counting, is this trainer pretty accurate? Also, has anyone seen a trainer does also gives a running count? Thanks all.

Counting and Online BJ? Hello, plz advice. I am practicing for a run at the Conneticut casinos and have been practicing online. I had assumed that, other than for a rare 1D game, that all other online BJ games are newly shuffled after each hand and therefor, no possible way to count - thus...

though I am not a card counter RM: I dont count cards but not as lucky as you - mostly $management issue I believe. Since you dont count, what do you do? Do you vary your bets; tend follow; and especially how to stop the down treands. Tx bud.

ER: CSMs are like playing right after the shuffle, all the time. Isnt the CSM a disadvantage over a manual shoe, b/c if always being dealt from a new shoe, the house adv always is there. Whereas w/the manual shoe, there is a down/up streaks. Also, don't the online BJ games always reshuffle...

house maintains its small advantage all the time, Thanks for the corrections. ;-) I assume you are correct, but what is the logic that house maintains its small adv at all times? I still feel that there is a net statistical gain for the player because he can raise bet and enter/leave a...

I read that perfect basic strategy (BS) reduces the House Adv to .05%. I assume that this was based on flat betting. Now, if I dont count but use BS; but since I have the ability - to raise and lower the bet and to walk away from the table - which the house doesnt have, wouldnt this offset...

soft counting Excuse that term. I only meant that I estimate the count, to get an idea of the general vicinity of count. I feel that I wont be able to succeed as a card counter. So I combine the estimating of count plus varying my bet range - mostly based on trends. But this hasnt worked -...

Hello. I am a basic strategy player with soft counting skills. Is there is any pros/cons playing a 6D or 8D when they open a table in the morning? Or after few shuffles? I have run into those situations - after a long night - and scrounging for advantage before getting on the long bus ride...
