Does Hi Lo system stink?

I just got done watching some video on you tube (which I found confusing). It claimed that the Hi-Lo system is awful and it was designed in a way that had mistakes. I find it difficult to count 6 deck shoes using the high lo count but I can do it. I am not sure if I could handle learning a more advanced counting system and using it in the casinos.
Am I destined to fail using the hi lo?

This is a damn sin! :( Really does make me quite sad, that this clown, and I think we all know of whom I speak is poisoning peoples minds. I know this is a free country and all, but this is just really sad.

Go to the CV site at this link and compare the differnt counting strategies...
HiLo has it's limitations, as do most systems.. but like some one else said, alot of folks use it because it's simplicity makes for less mistakes..

Why would you go to YouTube for information on counting? Or anything for that matter.:)

Garbage videos

I think it's safe to assume you're referring to JSTAT and Moviemakerjjcasino's videos. They are totally wrong, and you are best off disregarding them entirely. He's been spouting his nonsense here for a while, and has been debunked repeatedly.

Hi-lo is probably the count that has made more profits than any other.

I'd rather he posts here than on some site where some unsuspecting newbies fall for his bag of shite.
Keep your friends close. Keep pyschopathic liars closer.

Who made you the Shepard of the newbies? Who gives a rat's ass about them. The best teacher in life is experience. Let them go to the casino and test their theories and see what works. They will be coming back with their tail between their legs like little puppy dogs! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Seems to me like one of the very reasons for this site's existence is *gasp* newbie information! Or would you rather see this site not have a BS engine or trainer on it?

Come on, we were all newbies once, and I'm quite happy to help them out. (Despite JSTAT's wrath! :laugh:)

The answer to his question is, yes, the Hi-Lo is a lousy way to beat the modern blackjack game. As are all the others, though for varying reasons.

In that case, it's best to add a smiley face or something. Being online people can't tell you're joking much of the time...

Kind of hard to discern a joke from a character named Grisly Dreams. :laugh:

Nice handle, I used that in my sig line when I first started on here.
