Well I've been giving my money away from years now playing Blackjack without fully knowing BS, so I decided before my next trip I would learn BS and the hi/low counting strategy and give it a shot. I've been reading through these boards for a few months now and have practiced the BS for the two games I plan on playing in Laughlin on my next trip in 2 weeks. After 2 months and about 10000 practice hands later I can now play those two games at perfect BS. I still have work to do with the counting (I can run a deck of cards in about 30 seconds and get the count right about 80% of the time). Just for some casino practice I went to the local Indian casino and tried to keep the count, which I found extremely difficult but not impossible (have no idea how accurate I was). (Not that the count mattered with the crappy rules..it was just for the sake of the practice). Anyhow my question is; I have a 2k bankroll and will hopefully be playing about 20 hours during my trip and if I find I can keep track of the count plan to spread 1-5 units, so what should my starting bet be? Do I have enough for $15?
One more question. How close is the call in BS of not doubling an 11 vs an A versus doubling? is this an index play when the count is high? seeing as you know the dealer doesnt have 21 after they look at the hole card? If it is an index play, at what count does it move to doubling?
Any help would be appreciated.
