Double hard 13 and 15????? If you continue to double hard 13 and 15, you're going to have to sell your house and car.....

Rathole I've go better things to do, than worry about how much to tip.

Years ago I was playing at Harrah's Tahoe. A drunk guy is playing and he's a real ass. Gets a pair of jacks and asks the dealer if he should split. She leans in toward him and says "If you had a 10 inch dick, would you cut it in half." It was 5 minutes before she could deal again as the...

Don't Insure 20 Assuming you do not count....Don't ever insure 20. 30% of the cards are 10's and you have 2 in your hand. So, dealer is now less than 30%. Ask the other players, who has 10's in their hand and you will probably find more 10's on your side of the table. I was once...

CSM/Basic Renzy also wrote an article, where he said that the odds on winning your hand on a full deck is 101/100. That is your best chance as a 'NON-COUNTER' to raise your bet, as you will not be aware of your advantage or disadvantage, on other hands. So it seems logical, that as a...

If I remember correctly, Fred Renzy wrote an article and stated that the basic strategy chart, was calculated with a full deck and only 3 cards out of the deck. Your two cards and the dealers up card. It is quite obvious, that as the cards get played, your basic strategy card would change...

You must be kidding ` When you get to a new casino, I assume from your quote, that you just jumped into the game, rather than waiting for a favorable count. With that strategey, you lucky you didn't have to take out a second mortgage on your house.

How much money' In order to withstand 'risk of ruin', you should have at leat 40 times the minimum bet.

Wizzard of Odds. Check out these charts on "Wizzard of Odds". It shows the proabability of making a hand and of busting. http://wizardofodds.com/blackjack/appendix2.html

Thanks Thanks for the input. Let's continue along your line of reasoning. If you hit your 13 and get the Ace, two, three (which is still a loser, when dealer doesn't bust) you would then stop. The dealer still has the two and will bust 35.67% of the times. I think you have to ask the...

I think you have it backwards George, When you have 13 in your hand, you will not bust 61%. You only bust 39%, so on 61 of your hands you do not automatically lose. I am trying to figure out how many of those 61 hands, you can expect to win. In other words, using basic strategy is it...

According to 'Wizzard of Odds', the dealer will bust 35.67% of the time, when he has a 2 showing. Basic strategy tells you to 'stay' when you have 13 vs. his 12. Doing so, will turn you into a loser 65 times out of 100. 'Wizzard' also tell me that I will bust 39% of the time if I take a...

Works every time Next time they say something, reply: "I guess I did make a mistake. Next time I get that hand, I'll let you buy it from me and you can play it anyway you want to."

Here are the numbers. Only 30.76% of the cards are 10's. What ever the bet is, the dealer will only have a BJ 31% of the time. If the bet is $10 and you buy 10 bets, it will cost you $200 ($10 for the bet/$10 for even money). The dealer will have a BJ 3 times and you will push the bet and...
