Possible hourly earnings on the following spread?

#1
If you were able to get away with the following spread, does anyone know the type of hourly earnings you could be looking to achieve;

TC
0 $10
1 $20
2 2 x hands of $35
3 2x hands f $100
4 2x hands of $150

I appreciate that it's quite an adventurous spread(heat wise!).

Yes it’s 6D DAS No peek, no surrender, Hi-lo

I've been trialing this for the past two weeks, but have had to work overtime on the act, but so far have not had any heat!
I've had some big wins and a few big losses, but am up quite handsomely at the moment!

Depending on where you play, you might want to sacrifice some hourly earnings in favor of longterm earnings. Being able to make X an hour is only good if you can actually play. Better to make (X-Y_ but be able to play long term than burn out making X.

That's noted and thanks for the advice. I appreciate that there may not be much longevity with this kind of spread, but it's working so far. I'm keeping the sessions quite short and alternating shifts but I guess it's only a matter of time before the heat starts coming my way!

You'll definitely get heat with that spread. I will spread 1-40 or 1-60 at places that I don't need to return to for a while. For example, if I'm in Vegas, I'm also spreading 1-2x15, but I play short sessions and rotate places that I play in. If you have one local place, you can rotate shifts all you want, but they'll eventually tell you to hit the road.

4.5/6d, das, s17, nls
Based on a lvl 2 count the win rate would be about 4 units/hr., using hilo with full indices about 3.5 units/ hr.

My ramp is a little different then the one you posted but when I can get an empty $10 min table I have no reservations to go 2 x 150, 2 x200, or greater. Give me a mediocre game and I will do what I have to to win, if you kick me out so be it, I'll take my action elsewhere.

It also helps that as a $50-$100 average bettor they see in the computer your playing below your normal average. Many things come to mind like... wow I just got my butt kicked in HL so I'm out here to see if my lucks better. :rolleyes:

Congrats on being ahead Play Safe.

What sort of penetration are you getting and are you able to get out of negative counts?

I'm getting 75% to 80% penetration. I step out on half of the negative counts and play in the remaining half as cover.

My strategy has been to 'fly' through the shoe with as little out as possible and then go big when the tc is at 3 and higher, at the end of the high tc shoe I leave, regardless of result and then head to another club, make a note of the time at the club and make sure to not go back at the same time for at least 3/4 weeks.

I've been counting for two months now, after a trip to Vegas at christmas.
Before that point I'd not once been into a casino. Due to my job I can only play 4-8 hours per week, so rather then play a longer game with a lower spread I play this way, but it's not for everyone!
