Hey guys, been lurking around for awhile but this is my first post. Started playing some blackjack on the weekends. (edited location details) I found a DD Hit on soft 17 game, looks to be about 70-75% penetration thats worth playing. I know BS inside and out, using the Hi-Lo count and currently working on learning I18 indices
Anyways, its $5-$500 table and Im betting a 1-8 bet spread ($5-$40)
Without buying an analyzer of some sort, am I betting enough to overcome the losses on the negative counts if Im playing all hands? This casino seems to be pretty laid back and I havent had any problems sitting out when the TC hit negative.
Im worried about my betting strategy, I put out a red chip per positive true count. So with a TC of 2, I have $10 out and with a TC of 8 I have the full $40 out.
Ive also considered counting aces as it should be really easy on a double deck, but dont know what exactly I would do with it at the table. Ive searched around slightly but all i found was that in order for it to be worth it, I would need to change my count to a ace neutral one.
Thoughts / Ideas / Flames welcome
