Thanks, im still having trouble finding a specific article regarding betting. Can anyone provide a direct link?

So after a weekend of harcore practice in coutning down a deck, i decided to time myself this morning. I almost fainted. 25 Seconds!!! I am sooo proud. Out of 10 runs i averaged 28 seconds. So i have a solid counting speed, and BS memorized. Can anyone provide me with an article about betting...

You didnt happen to be in New York did you?

So for example, If i come in mid-shoe and backcount. The first hand i see the RC = TC because "no cards have been dealt" - that i can see? Am i correct?

wouldnt you have to backcount from the begining of a shoe? Sorry if this a dumb question.

A few more questions..... how do you count the cards when they come out of the shoe? I am having a pretty easy time cancleing pairs out. But do you count them individually as each persons first card is dealt? Second.. I have read some about "wonging" or backcounting. Wouldnt this be a...

thanks all. haha i knew i was going to get those reponses about penetration. A few more questions about it. Why is it so important? Couldnt it be controlled if the dealer lets you cut the deck?

I;ve been practicing and reviewing basic strategy everynight. I have a few questions, sorry if some of them are fairly stupid: 1. what is penetration? 2. My book says to stand on a 77 into a 10. Is this true for more than one deck, say 6-8? Thanks

ok i guess i am going to stick with hi/lo. Is there a list of the "illustrious 18 indicies" i have heard about?

haha thanks. Well i hope someone lets me in on the trade secret. :eyepatch:

hahah sort of. I had a general idea of RC and TC and how they work but ive decided KO may be better suited for me to start off live play. The only thing is now i have to go through and practice again with 7's getting a positive count rather than neutral.

Ok, I think i am going to but the KO blackjack book. I know its a little different than Hi/LO. I really need to read up though as i only have a basic understanding. Im working on my counting speed, have the deck counted in 40 seconds now. Looking to get to 25 before i hit the casino. I also need...

thank you. Quick question about online casinos. Is this worth it? (Dead link: http://www.lasvegasusacasino.com/promotions.php) to bonus whore and build a bankroll.

Hey all, Well around 3 or 4 years ago i was down on vacation in florida and wanted some reading material, preferably about poker. There was a used book store and it had no poker books but a book for $2 about counting in blackjack. I read and studied and quickly learned BS and the plus/minus...
