good answer. I guess the better question is what is the probability of winning 5 straight hands?

So the Martingale has been proven over and over to lose a lot of money. What if, we turn this system upside down and into a betting progression. Find a table that will let you spread 1-20 units. Start by betting 1 unit. If you win, "let it ride" so the next bet is 2 units, and continue until...

could just be a mistake. sloppy or new dealers who are trying to deal too fast do this on occasion

I highly doubt the shuffle was trackable... Probably 6 different dealers dealt on that table within 4 hours. I know for a fact, that my shuffle is not consistent. I don't really even try too hard to make it consistent.

I made a post earlier saying that I deal blackjack in a bar. I was instructed to switch to a different shuffle for the last two shoes of the night. I asked him later why, if it had to do with the fact that we were losing on that table. He told me that two of the guys have been there for most...

No I'm not in the Mandan Area. I doubt this game will return much, you can only spread 1 to 25, although you can freely wong in and out of a 2nd hand. It is at a bar, so people mostly just tip because they are drunk and it will change the "flow" or make them more "lucky", or when I can't win...

Have done 3 shifts so far, at a bar in North Dakota with $1 - $25 limits. I couldn't believe how bad some people are! Last night, somebody doubled a hard 14 against a 10!! Really? At least he tipped well. Since I know that the game itself is -EV, when someone offers me a tip and gives me...

Not sure, some bars are 4 deck, but with awful pen. I think a lot used to be 4 deck, not really sure

I've got 2k units, Ideally I'd have 2.5k units as a bank roll so I could bet the table max at the pivot point. Currently I'll be spreading 1-20 and just having fun realizing that my expected win per hour is minimal. Oh and they try to tell you that it is 4 deck, however it's definitely 6 deck...

Rules are: 4 deck, Dealer Stands on soft 17, DAS, DOA, No surrender Table max is 25x the table min, not that great of penetration, probably between 50 and 70% pen. BS chart says .38 house edge, when the count gets good, if it gets good, seems like a very profitable game. Also, cover...

I was very surprised when a friend of mine sat down at the double deck table at our local casino and the dealer asked him if he wanted to join right away. My friend is not an AP, but could I take advantage of this with a very small bankroll? The table min is higher than I'd like to play, but...
