    reflections

    I have to lol at this. The pharmaceutical industry, drug cartels, and alcoholic beverage producers are making a killing off of the so-called "highly educated workforce". http://www.springerlink.com/content/f7564m22066l7621/ And P.S. Yes, I did go to college.

    Unbalanced Zen II

    Sure. Daniel Dravot wrote a book on it titled "The Color of Blackjack". It's basically a method of true fudging the KO count to capture early betting opportunities. Alternatively, you can check out this table: http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bb/attachment.php?attachmentid=116&d=1180298696...

    Unbalanced Zen II

    Hi Smoke, If you don't already do it, might I suggest adding depth bets to your existing KO Full system before you sim it against a level 2 system? I added a couple of index plays to KO along with depth bets and it performs better than the canned UBZII and on par with the UBZII OS composite...

    Unbalanced Zen II

    Good point, ZG. And let's not forget the "hidden cost" of time spent learning a new system rather than spending that time *playing* a system that a person already plays *well*. I don't think many players factor this into their equations. That being said, if one still has their heart set on...

    Why are unbalanced counts better for RC's?

    Someone had posted a spreadsheet here a while back that converted the KO RC to TC, and if you look at that, you can find definite patterns that make the whole memorization thing easier, while still maintaining the overall simplicity of the system. For example, with an IRC of 0 in a 6D game, I...

    Planning a trip to Vegas to win big money at blackjack: Unless I'm missing something

    From my understanding, the rationale is that if a squirrel were to be attacked by one of those more common carriers that you mention, such as a dog or raccoon, the attack itself would most likely kill the squirrel, thus making the transmission of rabies a moot point. As a mammal, they *can*...

    Planning a trip to Vegas to win big money at blackjack: Unless I'm missing something

    One of my well-fed squirrels bit me a couple of months back. It was my fault, as I started to stand up as he was taking the nut. He didn't even draw blood, but I called the County anyway, and they told me that squirrels were not considered carriers of rabies and I did not require rabies shots...

    The dumbest thing you have ever seen at the table

    I love when a stupid moment is preceded by a "watch this". That's the best part of it imo. :laugh:

    Color of blackjack

    Ok, I realized I didn't give you the SCORE for the 1-16 spread. Again, my sims are using the KO-Full indices. It's what I play, and remembering the 18 plays (excluding surrender) would not be exceptionally difficult for anyone, I don't think, for additional benefit. I'm not much of a sim guy, to...

    Color of blackjack

    I just started running some COB sims and as soon as I figure out how to shrink the charts down, I'll post some for you. I got a SCORE of 18.06 with COB using the KO-Full indices, vs a 17.18 for the regular KO Full and 16.90 for KO Preferred (4.5/6, S17 DAS, 1-10 spread). As for the additional...

    Whats your Card counting definition

    Lol, I'm afraid that even sitting down at one of those games would have me blackballed here before I even reached my 15th post. :laugh: Unless, of course, I was playing because of...other...opportunities. :) TMH
