http://www.blackjackapprenticeship.com, its a great site, I learned all i know from the guys there.

My bankroll was very limited and at the time I didn't yet fully understand risk of ruin or what my return would be playing LL. So I kept the side bets small, at that time my spread was only about 1-6 and what I had a friend sim for that was already at 25% ROR. I knew it was profitable but i...

I had a TC of +8 with a $10 side bet got 2 Qof hearts with the Ace up, asked for insurance. The ONLY time where i wish the dealer had the natural but of course didn't. Good night, 2 weeks later I got the "tap" playing that same dealer.

I feel like I lost $500 just for watching that video.

I've only heard about the Gordon count from one other player who was for lack of a better word, an amature. When I looked up this system I found one article on the count tags and a bunch of side counts. If someone is using this count I can only imagine they would need a second person for all the...

I've been paid out incorrectly numerous times to my advantage. I dont know what it is about middle aged females, but they are the only ones who ever point out that the dealer paid me too much.

I've found that the best thing to do is not justify it, civilians make dumb plays like that all the time. You might get heat from them but the pit will love you for it and trying to justify it esp when your acting skills may be sub par will just bring unwanted attention.

There is a better game than hard rock on the Sun Cruz in Port Richey, but overall not the greatest. maxmimum is also only 200 and you can only spread to 2 hands so if you want more money on the table bring a friend. I will say, being a small boat its not a very sweaty place even with me getting...

So I take it these side bets are based on frequency rather than anything else?

Oh ok I get what you're saying AM. So with the 4 deck LL game should I wait until about another TC higher for the count to be effective?

I know this is an old post, but on LL is the playable TC stay the same regardless of decks? I've tried looking around for it but it seems all the articles on it are just simed for 6 Decks or higher.

I did the same thing, but in all fairness i had three cars and i was tired of replacing the head gasket on my Supra. Gave me $2500 to my BR though :grin:

You get different basic strategy based on the paramaters "rules" of the game, example hit and soft 17 have different ones. Btw, which strategy are you attaching to the game when playing CVBJ? There are quite a few in there especially when it comes to the index plays.

There are tons of people who use counting as an "aid" to play blackjack which does more harm than good to that player. With knowing basic strategy you then have only have a negative expectation of .5% using a any couting system is not going to help your edge if you cant even identify the correct...

Ah PA clientele, they are the best. I have no doubt that these ploppies acted this way. Even if they weren't gambling if you met them on the street you would be treated the same way. After living there 12+ years I am convinced that there is something fundamentally wrong with their brains and...
