to tell the truth, i can't even count down a deck in less than 30 seconds. but it's a lot slower than that when you're actually playing. What i do, is sit at third base and count after each player gets their pair of cards while they're dealing, i usually just chat it up and look away from...

25% pen? i hope you mean 75% if you're only a BS player, you needa use as much as you can to your advantage. learn the BS for your specific game with it's surrendering.

http://tamburin.casinocitytimes.com/article/continuous-shufflers-revisited-1326 1. The average number of 10s per hand is slightly higher with a CSM game than with a game that uses a cut card. 2. The probability of getting a blackjack is slightly higher with a CSM game than it is with a game...

yeah. CSM's do lower the house edge because more 10's come out. but i think we all got the answer to the question that was asked. It makes a lot of sense at least. Since random playing, or even just BS will lose in the long run.

CSM's? Some places have this. my only other guess is that the casino kinda targets those who THINK they can card count i'm not sure, though. I'd like to know the answer too, though haha

thanks!!! this is good. do any of you have any other beneficial trainers/tips!?!?!? haha j/k

I use the BS trainer on this site, and play randomly. But i'm interested in something that would correct me on indices? haha I know there are a bunch of indices, but are there any out there that have the I18 included along with BS? doubt there is anything free out there that does this...

sorry i left out the option for the 86'd group. And thank you for making it private :) i had the impression that a lot of counters get caught, but it seems like it's not as common as i thought it'd be.

crap, don't vote. i thought i made it private voting, but it's nottttttt

just wondering what the realistic crowd looks like. How aggressive they play, or any reasons why you were/would be backroomed

indices are the way to go. i had this same questions a while back, and it made sense to hit if they deck was low in 10's and to stay if it was rich with them.

yeah i agree. i am learning from all the tips and advice of staying away. but just like i said, learning it is a hobby for now. not the playing. Thanks everyone for the warnings of the dangers and such.

yeah, well the thing is i can stomache losing only 300-500. i allocated the money to be lost in BJ (but i'd rather not and doubled the initial investment since i started) i just enjoy reading the posts and learning. I haven't fully put it into practice yet, BECAUSE i know that i'm not ready...

i understand. but i'm gonna continue to read up on the subject and play when the opportunity arises. By the time i graduate and actually do have the BR to play at your levels, then i'll start to pursue the play more than the strategy. But for now, i guess i'm still happy to know more than...

yeah, well i do have that a couple thousand, but again. it's allocated towards college and the college life. BJ is something i simply like to read and learn about. But the actual play only happens every once in a while when my fraternity, organizations, or family travels there, which is fine...
