Hey all!
Loving the site.. Joined up not so long ago.
I havent been counting for a real long time, but i have been practising counting on the Virite program, and on the coffee table at home.
I can count down a deck in around 50 seconds (Still to slow, I know)
I need to get a bit quicker before i hit the casinos i know, and most of you would agree stongly with that yeah?
So my aim is to keep practising, even if it takes another 6 months, as I feel good things come to those who wait.
And yeah, get quicker before I do hit casinos, however I am getting better and it is starting to become second nature.
My question is, because now i plan on including my betting spread strategies into my counting, is there a simple beginners betting/spread strategy that works. My casinos have 8 deck shoe.. Draw to 16 stand on 17..
Like if my minimum bet was $25, on a count of +1, what spread would i apply as it rises.. +2, +4, without seeming to obvious.
Someone once told me to times the minimum bet but the true + count. But to me this seems to easy to be true..
Thanks guys,
Really loving Blackjack, been playing home games for years, shuffle tracking etc, but counting is sort of new to me. Plan on taking this as seriously as possible, thats why I havent rushed off just yet.
