I used search and tried google. I would like to make an authentic looking BJ table for my basement. Anyone have plans or can provide a link. Also, even if you don't have plans, please post some pics of what you have. Thanks

I went to the book store and there's probably 20 or so books on BJ. I'm guessing most all say the same thing. I know basic strategy and know the H-Lo count, (still practicing on getting better though). I would like your opinions on the most thorough book there is on advanced strategies...

We'll I guess the final verdict is you would eventually lose 10 hands in a row. As the system stands now at 98.4% effective, I believe it could probably be tweaked to reached as high as 99%. All in all, I wouldn't say the system "sucks", but you still run the risk of losing $10,000. Just to...

Sonny, how many hands were played with the simulator?

Thanks again for your help and input guys :grin: Oh yeah sonny, just out of curiosity, how many hands were played?

Good point, that does make sense; however at 312 chances a year. Most avid golfers can play well into theirs 70's. You would think every 15 years a hole in one would happen. If you start playing golf at 25 and stop at 70, your odds say you should hit 3 whole-in-ones in your life. Again, not...

Would anyone care to try this method out on a simulator. My OCD won't allow me to let go of it seeing as how it have never failed me. I mean, at what point do you stop with the numbers and go with real world logic? Math says a golf player has a 1:5,000 chance of hitting a hole in one...

ihate17, Thank you for your comments. The comparison of the two numbers ($100 vs. $10,000) is not that far off of slight edge you gain on the casino's by counting cards. In other words, a card counter can gain, what 1%-2% on the house? At a 1% advantage, to make $100, you would have had to...

As far as the $100 goes; The average annual salary in the united states is about $30,000 a year. Working 5 days a week for 52 weeks is 260 working days a year, equating to about $115 a day the average person makes. For just a nice round number, I made it $100. This is close to my salary so...

When you say you will lose 10 hands in a row .17% of the time, does that include doubling as two losses, splitting as two loses, splitting and doubling on both hands as four losses? Then yes, losing 10 times in a row would not be that all uncommon seeing how you could reach 40% of the mark with...

Sonny, I understand what you are saying. By not doubling down or splitting, you may give the house an extra 2% advantage, but you decrease your risk of losing 10x in a row (and thus your whole bankroll). I would gladly give up a 2% advantage if it meant I would never go broke. (and when I...

Hey guys/gals This is my first post so I thought I'd give everyone something to think about. I love the game but I get more kicks trying to figure out different strategies and what not. I guess you can say I'm a numbers guru. Anyhow, I've read and tried a lot on different strategies and...
