It is h17 and it is 6d.

There is a new side bet being offered in my local casinos. Its called buster bet which pays on how many cards the dealer busts with. The bet is totally separate from the regular bet, i.e. if you bust, surrender, or stay the side buster bet still stands. The pay outs are 2 to 1 for when the...

s. tahoe is not that great. The only 3:2 SD games in town are the Monte Blue and Horizon, harrahs and harveys have gone to 6:5. I have never played at bills cause I try to stay away from the smaller casinos. Reno has a lot more options to play. The Grand Sierra has a decent SD game and is dead...

No I dont use the A-5 count. I only play SD so its not to hard to pay a little extra attention to certain cards.

Just a venting thread guys. I was running pretty good for about a month but just got smack with the negative turnaround and it sucks ass. Im getting sick of doubling my max bet and making the 20 and having the dealer roll out the last 5 in the deck for 21. I know it will end but it doesn't seem...

Midweek is great because you can find many open low limit tables. The Gran Sierra (old Hilton) always has empty games at midnight till morning.

nothin serious, I was just told that Horizon would no longer accept my action at 21. Im just not sure if this would include Monte Blue as well since they are owned by the same company. We're gonna find out this weekend though since my friend is having a B-day party there Friday.

I recently got told i cant play 21 at the horizon in tahoe, and I was a little curious if this would carry over to the monte blue since they are owned by the same company. Monte blue was always willing to take my action no matter what I spread to, but i haven't been back in a while so Im not...

BS is the foundation. You need to be able to play it without thinking. There is really no such thing as playing by instict when playing serious black jack. And yes when counting cards you modify BS depending on the count, each individual counting system usually illustrates at which counts you...

Has anyone else been forced to show ID when cashing out? This happened to me over the weekend and I was kinda shocked at the request. I wasn't sure if this was for tax purposes, because I look young, or that I had cashed out multiple times throughout the night.

How did everyone's reno trip go this weekend? I had a great night sunday and monday but got the reverse variance on tuesday and finished pretty much even. I still had fun though.

I've been playing the GG last couple of trips with great success. I am running into a small problem though, I can't find very many small limit tables that are empty. I was curious what would be an appropriate br for a $25 table where I had to bet units of 125. I've found that I'm usually buying...

I agree 100% with BJ Bob, Eldorado to Fitz is only a short walk but a little sketchy, however it is usually a pretty busy intersection so its not that bad. I beleive I have been followed a few times by some guys coming from this street but once inside the casino they turn around and go the other...

Yes in full costume he would scream at the top of his lungs. At first it was shocking and then it was pretty funny.

yeah I laughed at that special features part. I work near a BJ game and I cant tell you how many people tell me they learned to count from that movie and are now goin to beat the game. One kid even told the dealer and the floor he was gonna count the cards, he proceeded to get about eyelevel...
