I simply don't get it. I've seen a few movies where there is talk of card counters, and we're depicted as thieves, as con artists. It's absurd and ridiculous. A card counter wins only on the long run, they don't leave every day with tens of thousands of dollars out of the casino. Someone should...

thanks guys, this is really helpfull so far. in about 3-4 days i'm going to hit the casinos, so i'll be practicing untill then. the sad thing is that here in romania they only offer 6D games... i would love to play SD or DD :). by the way, where can i find additional info in these systems (zen...

hi there, i've been away for a while. i play Hi-Lo, sidecounting aces (though that doesn't seem to help a lot). i bet minimum when count is negative, and then 2 units for each +1 on the true count. it worked so far.

that's a good point... in average since i started playing i'm up 5 units or so per hour... the thing is i cannot afford a big bankroll. i bet 1 unit when count is low, 3 or more (up to 8) when count is high. i read once in an article about a guy that had a pretty risky betting system, but he had...

it's a 6D

hey there, the casino i go in has a 7 side bet. first card 7 you get 3:1, two 7-s of different color you get 40 : 1, two 7-s of same color you get 60 : 1, three 7-s you get 120:1 and three 7-s same color 400 :1. you can only bet a small amount something like 1$. cand this be profitable keeping a...

i just started playing, i think i have like 20-30 hours of play in the casino. i'm up 550$ on a 5$ minimum bet, but i don't know if that's relevant. i had one bad beat, but i recovered. can you think of another counting system that could work better considering these rules? i currently use Hi-Lo.

"Furthermore, you cant take insurance w/an ace which can cause serious havoc to the card counter disabling your oppurtunity to save your big bets. " what do you mean i can't take insurance on ace? of course i can...

guys, just reading about this makes me laugh. i live in romania. here, the casinos only have 4 BJ tables, the rules are great and the funny thing is no one, i mean no one cares about counting cards. i had a chat with a friend of mine who is a dealer and he told me that they don't keep track and...

yes you do. if you have 11, dealer 10 or ace, you double, dealer makes BJ you lose it all. i never though double on dealer 10 or ace

oh, and you can ask for even money on BJ if dealer has ace or 10. that helps if the count is high i guess

dealer doesn't check for BJ, it's that european style BJ where dealer draws his second card after every one has finished hitting or standing. you cannot surrender at all on ace

Hi there, I must say I've learned a lot from your website. I live in Romania. The casinos here don't quite care about card counting, so you can play as much as you want. We have a 6-D game, with 1,5-2 deck penetration, dealer stands on soft 17, double any card, double after split allowed...
