    Thanks for all the help. I'm going back tonight, but I'll stick to poker =).

    Town Festival Blackjack

    Mewtwo, Thanks for the math/response. I'm curious though, does the ridiculously good penetration curve that at all? Also, I'm probably WAY off, but that's why I consider myself an amateur card counter, but the 17-19 pushes 'generally' will only count on 1 unit bets? When the count is...

    Town Festival Blackjack

    Hey everyone. My town is having a festival with gambling such as poker/blackjack/etc. I was playing the blackjack they had because I was there to have fun, but also because I believe it is a 'good' game to play. Here are the rules: - 4 Decks - VERY good penetration (I'd estimate 90-95%) -...

    Double Exposure Blackjack

    There's a "charity" poker tournament going in Dayton, OH this weekend and next weekend held by "Reece's Last Vegas Supplies." (Dead link: http://www.luckyshirt.com/charity.htm) They're notorious around here for being a little shady with their charity money etc, but they have something that I...

    True count on a 6 deck game with 4.5d pen

    I'm quite intrigued...So are you saying there's a computer simulated blackjack game that deals 4.5 deck pen. (was that confirmed?) that you can wong in on with no pit bosses / dealers around to stop you from spreading 5-500? Are there pit bosses around the game monitoring the stastics and...

    Good Vegas Games

    Hey everyone, I'm semi-new to the forums, but not that new to counting. I've only been to Vegas twice (and I wasn't into counting cards the first time I went out). I'm going again in early July, so I was wondering if anyone could save me the hastle of going from casino to casino to scout for...

    Have you ever noticed ploppies respect big bets?

    First I'll say that you are a good guy for helping another player out. I would have done the same, and told the guy to double. I still hope you realize that you didn't affect the outcome (you're lucky the other guy thought you did). Because if the dealer had 6-4, and the other guy stayed on...

    Why do dealers shout things out loud?

    Other than the normal reasons of informing pit bosses when something they consider of "importance" is happening, they do it for other reasons too.I'll give you my own example. Normally a dealer would say "Checks Play" when buying in to a table with chips instead of cash. Well I've been...

    My Game, Odds & Leaving

    Thanks to both you and Sonny. I'm definitely going to check it out because as I recall when looking at the game it had all of those rules to make the game better. S17, any # of splits on any cards, double any cards, double surrender, etc. All those rules sounded awesome but I wasn't sure if it...

    My Game, Odds & Leaving

    I haven't looked into Spanish 21 a whole lot (yet), but it seems like a game that isn't that good. Taking all the 10's out of 6 decks starts the count off at -24. Wouldn't that be pretty bad?
