Do you count each card individually, or do you take them in pairs, then add in any additional cards the dealer uses? I've just about managed to accurately count down a pack of card correctly each time (although the time it takes me both the hare and the tortuous would have finished the race)...

Just keep doubling up... you'll come good.... in the end. You might have to go to the bloke sitting next to you to borrow some chips, the cash machine, the bank manager, the government, the EU, the IMF and there is always the fail safe - the printing machine in your garage. :grin:

Hi Caramel6. I can't PM at the moment (nbot enough posts or something), but have you done much counting before? I'm rather green (and not chip-wise!) at the moment, but am keen and eager to learn. I wonder where UK-21 is based? SBJ

Thanks UK-21. I agree, with all of your points. Espically given that I do not have any experience of doing this. It would be great to contact a team that was already up and running, and learn from them... It appears this may be more possible in the States than the UK though. Nothing like...

How do you actually find a team that is already set up and looking for a newbie who is willing to put in the work? Or, how do you go about finding like minded players to join up and do some team play/practicing with? SBJ

If you are playing at a slight disadvantage (0.44%), to wager through a certain amount to be able to cash out a bonus would you say it is better to play: £5 x 3 hands or £15 x 1 hand? My guess is that if it is advisable to play as many hands as possible when you have an EV, then surely the...

ENHC rules. If you have a BJ and the dealer is showing a 10/face card and goes to pay you out 3/2 do you: a) think thanks very much and take the money, or b) tell them that they have a 10 and therefore could have a BJ? If you decided a) or before you get to make that choice the person...

Is the index point for taking even money the same as taking insurance?

Well I managed to play £2 hand BJ. I was amazed by the amount of superstition there was about! As far as I am aware I only made one BS error, where I miss read the cards and though A,2,9 was 21 where as it was only 12 :-( The look I got from one end of the table! And when I arrived to play...

Flash - having looked at what newb99 said, (Dead link: http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/UploadDocs/publications/Document/Games%20%20Rules.pdf) appears to be the definitive ruling as to what can/can't happen (see page 15, which is actually 18 in the document). newb99 - I can see them on...

Firstly: Hi this site looks great! I am in the UK and haven't had too much (like 1 or 2 hours total) experience in land based casinos (online bonuses 4 years ago or so saw me play 10,000s of hands). So I am alright (although a bit rusty) with BS, and a total newbie at Card Counting. So a...
