During a recent trip a dealer allowed me to split 8's 4 times, then a few hours later at the same place the dealer would not allow me to split more than 3 times. Since this isnt a rule that generally is spelled out on the table, do casinos need to post house rules somewhere per gaming control...

I'll be there during that time practicing the trade between march madness games. Rookie

As you can tell I don't actively seek out the best games. I had fun at the pioneer, its small and there is no waiting for a drink (very important to this player!). As I said before I need to work on my disipline this year. As for SD vs DD there, there are two reasons why I play the DD. First, I...

Yes, just 1-6 for me, even in shoe games. I overbet as it is for my BR. I figure I'd give alittle in the EV for a reduction in my ROR. As for ratholing I just used blacks as an example. I stuff greens into my pocket also.

It's been 1 year since I started to learn / employ BS and hi / lo card counting and thought I'd post my results. I've made 11 trips to vegas / laughlin and play a min bet of $25 and spread 1-6. I play strickly at MGM in vegas and Golden Nugget / Pioneer in Laughlin. I play the DD and 6D games...

Brought 2,000 and was betting 25-75 at the pioneer and at the nugget 25 - 125. Probably way to much for the bank role but it was just for recreation and an overall good time.

Good idea, hell that never even crossed my mind!

Results After 4 days and about 30 hours of play, I ended up $950. I started out flat betting $25 and practiced counting for the first 2 hours or so. At first it was hard as hell to keep my concentration on the count but it got easier and easier as time went on. Once I started to increase my bet...

Thanks for posting that link, I was just looking for a table like that!

Indeed, those are the two games I have learned BS for.....if they were the same then I would of only had to learn one set plays:rolleyes:. Humm, well statistically one is definately better, besides that you have me stumped as to what you mean. Your right I'm a recreational player trying...

My first choice is the 2 deck, h17. no DAS, no surrender game that I hear is offered at the pioneer. I've also heard (or atleast there used to be)a 6 deck, s17, DAS, no surrender game at the golden nugget. If you know of a better one please let me know. I have not even looked at a book on...

Well I've been giving my money away from years now playing Blackjack without fully knowing BS, so I decided before my next trip I would learn BS and the hi/low counting strategy and give it a shot. I've been reading through these boards for a few months now and have practiced the BS for the two...
