Not to one-up but i have received 5 in a row, with a winning double-down to follow. Single deck, obviously with a shuffle (after the first two, with a dealer change). Was fun, but didn't have big bets out. Before counting, so had a slight progression after the first two BJ's...

Thanks Sonny, I usually play one hand off the top, then go to two if the count is positive. So I do see some +3 (or +5) on the second hand, now with two bets out. The tables were too crowded at the times I swung by last weekend. I'll have more time during off hours coming up. Viva la...

No thanks Kolan I agree with Sonny. 3 box match at the house I frequent (at 3x min), 2 hands at 2x min. I will try the following: <0 5 0 10 1 2x15 2 2x30 3 2x40 4 2x50 5 2x60 6 2x75 8 2x90 10 2x115 Thanks to all, SSSStretchhh

Finally Thanks BJ Count. I will use much closer to the optimal spread you show for two hands in a positive count in your sim, as opposed to the count I had been using. SD, I know my spread-ability is hard to believe, but it is true. But my results have not been what I thought they should...

Thanks for your concern SDP but I can spread, so I am going to. This entire thread has been trying to find the optimum spread for this BJ heaven condition, not to warn me off. I have been experimenting with different spreads (no sim, so limited trials), and am searching for help to find a...

So Sonny, If I spread to two hands, my spread could be: 0< 5 1 10 2 2x15 3 2x50 4 2x75 >4 2x125 and maintain the 6% RoR? or: 0< 5 1 10 2 2x15 3 2x40 4 2x65 >4 2x100 and reduce the RoR? AND NOT BE OVERBETTING FOR 10K BR? Thanks...

? on +3 Why no +3? If after one hand, 6,2,4, 6,..X,8 (push) isn't that a +3? Not enough cards gone to change the RC to a TC, or it would round to a +3 anyway. Thanks for the help, SSSStretchhh

Thanks for the seven replies, but no one has has suggested a better betting spread than my initial offering. My cover does not involve or influence my bet spread. What spread is optimum for single deck, 10K BR? Yes, i can bet $5 on one hand and 3 hands of $200 on the next if that is...

Its even better... Heat shield intact. I can spread with immunity. How do I best utilize the opportunity (bet spread). I can go to three hands if necessary. Usually heads up. Sometimes very deep pen. I have had the dealer run out of cards heads up (embarrassing for the dealer)...

thanks, so far I'm playing a 3:2 game. I'm a regular. Yes, I'm in heaven. My cover is my own business. Suggestions on an optimal spread? I don't have heat. 20 min to 5 hr sessions, several times a week. SSSSStretchh BJ Bob - I listed HiLo, but I am actually using silver fox...

Northern Nevada single deck, DOA, nDAS, Aces one card (no re-split), H17. Usually deep pen. no heat worries. Play all. BR 10K replenishable. HiLo Ill18. <0 5 0 10 1 2x15 2 2x35 3 2x60 4 2x80 5 2x100 Am I overbetting? underbetting? Thanks, SSSSSStretch

What were the circumstances of your barring, if you don't mind sharing? S

Thanks, but.. my orignal question was: what is the index when I would hit 7,7 vs 10 in a single deck? I know to stand in neutral / postive counts (bigger bet always when positive), but at what negative count SHOULD I start hitting? Mimo- no other bonus parameters, just 777 pays an extra...

I'm not clear Yes, 777 pays a $5 bonus. And in a weak count <0, I am only betting 5 or 10. But in a strong count with a larger bet out there (65 or 90) on each of two hands) I wouldn't want to hit for a measly $5 would I? Stretch

I play single deck, good rules (DA2, good pen) in Northern NV. What is the index for hitting 7,7 against a dealer 10? I currently stand on it, but when it came up recently with a lowsy count (I'm play-all), I wondered. Thanks, SSSSStretchhhhhh Edit: Hi-Lo, with Ill 18
