    Discussion of other BJ Forum Sites

    I have unlimited hosting through GoDaddy. I would be willing to purchase Vbulletin. I would be willing to host the site, but would need help.

    Discussion of other BJ Forum Sites

    New site suggestions: A new site for former BJinfo members should discuss all +EV casino play. It should have information on the following topics: slot AP, comp hustling, card counting, poker, and video poker. These are listed in order, from what I think are most important to least important...

    Rant: I quit, thanks for the help bj21

    It means playing some smaller fraction of Kelly. Could be A B or C. While I would agree that it is good practice to play some fraction of Kelly after your bankroll reaches a certain point, don't get too carried away. You give up quite a bit of hourly EV by lowering your bets. Learn to manage...

    Vegas condition needed

    I disagree. In my opinion you should be playing full Kelly until you hit $25 tables. You say 13% ROR. I say 87% chance of success!

    Martingale still a fallacy when you have statistical advantage?

    This is a good summary, certainly true for the low spread example you gave. The main thing to watch out for is over betting. I think that is the only way you can be an expected long term loser if you are playing a +EV game. You are welcome :). Though many disagree, I think threads like...

    Martingale still a fallacy when you have statistical advantage?

    1.) Your advantage on any given hand would be best estimated by the count. You are best off Kelly betting according to your advantage. If you base your bet based on Martingale, you will be worse off. For example, your system was "When TC >=2 martingale up to 4X, when TC 1 or lower sit out."...

    Just got slaughtered for 110 units, I want to cry :cry:

    I am right there with you, but I don't want to take a 50% pay cut! Have been shooting for somewhere between 1/2 and 1/4 recently.

    Rant: I quit, thanks for the help bj21

    Sounds like our entire year was similar! This spring I was on fire, doubled my bankroll twice. Seemed like I couldn't lose. I am finally getting back up close to an ATH. There is a number barrier that I have approached three times now. If I pass it this time, it is going to feel like I...

    Rant: I quit, thanks for the help bj21

    I can relate I hit my last ATH in June, and by mid July had lost about half. I have thought about quitting many times. Quitting isn't so bad. For the rest of your life blackjack will be fun. When you switch to recreation you can look forward to smaller spreads, less heat, and free...

    Selective casino conditions update needed

    I have a little info. I went to Stratosphere a few trips ago, mid summer. Played some double deck. Pen was great! I only lasted about 15 minutes before the pit was on the phone. It was day shift. I had spread from $25 to $450 when the phone call was placed. Encore? More like En - poor...

    Getting sarcastic remarks thrown at you for not tipping

    If I am not tipping and get a sarcastic "thank you" when I leave I accept it. I deserve it. I understand where they are coming from. I really feel bad leaving an average to friendly dealer without tipping. It is a weakness of mine, I have tipped about 7% of my income this year. What I...

    Profit for the year 2011 so far?

    I think we talk in "units" to disguise those exact numbers, either from potential casino "guests" visiting the sites, or any forum members. There are many reasons one could want to lead others to believe that they are playing for more or less. I think the term "unit" as we use it isn't all...

    three card poker cover

    Also sensitive info, but since just knowing what it stands for doesn't get you even close to being able to make the play ill share: unusually tilted highball (code name for biased roulette.):)

    Majestic Star & Ameristar Indianna current condition?

    Are we talking about Majestic Star? I was. They probably have 11 tables in that room (I would have guessed 9) but only 4 are ever/always open in my experience. I have caught heat there at times, and have played marathon sessions with no heat. Depends on many things.
