I saw several errors last night. A fairly new dealer payed out a couple of losing hands, then paid one off to me, a $50 bet that I had lost. I had a 17 and the dealer had an 18, but she paid me. I wasn't about to say something and hand the $100 back in. Also had an interesting error while at...

Hmm. I don't want to say "duck" to a moderator and get in trouble.... but the post was tongue-in-cheek. Sorry if it wasn't clear enough. I was trying to sarcastically make fun of all the crap that came up last night. :laugh:

Last night they were cutting 1.5 to 1.75 decks off of a 6 deck shoe, sometimes leaning towards 1 deck. Then a brand new dealer came in. She had just started earlier in the week. She cut off less than half a deck on her first shoe. Over 90% penetration. I've never seen anything like it. :eek...

It really is amazing what you can learn from the right dealer or player while playing the game. I used to think that learning the ins and outs of this game required book purchases and software use, but really all you need is the right dealer. I learned this last night, and used the knowledge to...

This is a warning to everyone here. If you are at a movie store and your wife wants to rent The Lake House, you might start wandering around to look for a movie that you can actually watch while holding food down. If you’re like me and you spot the movie Hit Me, thinking “Cool, a movie about...

I was wondering if I'm a complete weirdo around here, or if anyone else does this... do you ever just go and play a cheap table with basic strategy for fun? I've done this a couple of times in the last month or so. Some nights I just don't feel up to counting and "working" while at the table...

Probably the biggest downside is that you won't use the system 100% effectively and lose more money than you would have if you'd just been playing basic strategy, causing you to give up this goddamned rigged game where the casinos all cheat you, man. ;)

I think you need to read the thread again.

I got this reply from the seller: No it does not say Demo Software. It is the official software with green manual. I paid for it in full. I did a google search for an image of CVCX so I wouldn't have to take a picture. I did not realize that the picture said Demo Software until now. He does...

Whoa. I didn't know anything about that site until now. Looks AWESOME! Thanks for the hookup. I'll take you up on that offer if I sign up. Thanks!

Do many people play the UBT games online? I want to get on TV man, but I'm sure the odds are pretty much a million to one. Anyway, it's kind of a fun twist on blackjack. The funny thing with it though is how crappy everyone is. I am pretty good at strategy after reading some books, and I've...

Hello everyone, long time reader, first time poster here. I have played blackjack several times, but just recently have begun to learn counting and other advantage play strategies. (reading about strategy variations based on count, etc) When I’ve played in the past it’s been at casinos...
