The best way to play Charity Blackjack? (not casino environment)

For a party at our school they are having a casino that is free with prizes.

Can anyone please help me on the best way to beat the game big and preferably quickly so I can cash out and snag one of the biggest prizes.

There will not be any heat so I'm thinking of having a pretty big spread, only problem is I don't want a huge RoR, so could someone guide me as to what I should spread, and how many units I should have to begin.

I'm guessing these dealers will be akward and possibly provide easy holecarding opportunities. Where should I sit at the table, and what should I look for to take advantage of this.

Still not sure of the rules and how many decks they will use. I'm gonna try to talk the dealer into very deep like 95% pen maybe if they put a cut card in at all.

What else can I do to take advantage of this?

I'm assuming that there's no buy-in cost for you, and that only the people with the most chips at the end will get the good prizes.

You're going to need to treat it kind of like a tournament, and be aggressive. Because some donk's going to be betting everything on the number 13 in roulette, and keep on hitting it.

Looking for holecarding opportunities is a good idea. Getting a 100% penetration shoe is a good idea. It's probably a little too short notice to learn ace-steering or sequencing.

But whatever you do, getting a chance to win is going to require a high ROR.

turned out being kinda stupid... it was 3 deck which i've never played, so I made the pivot point 12 and guessed at the key count at 8. Biggest problem was max bet was 5 chips and min was 1.

I realized there really wasn't a point in playing this game because I wouldn't make anywhere near the amount of chips I'd need to place.

The funny things were how bad the dealer was... he hit is soft 15, got an 8 and paid everyone out because he thought it was a bust.

Bet it all on one hand a couple of times.
I agree completely. It is kinda like a tournament, the time is so short that card counting is not a good idea. You just have to bet like crazy and hope for the best. If you double up a few times you might get a prize, but if you lose you won't be wasting your time slowly accumulating chips to get nothing.

I'm sure the place was packed, which is annoying. Me and supercool went to something like this and had to talk someone into giving us a seat. Me and him just combined money and bet it all on one hand. We lost.
