Most tournaments do allow doubling on blackjack, although some don’t. It can be a useful move, when winning 1.5 times your bet is not enough to accomplish your goal, but winning 2 times your bet is.
Would love it if we didn’t lose our game conditions when we reset, (or ‘shuffle the deck’). Still hoping to see a way to set differing amounts of pot sizes. Also, it’s a shame that it resets your pot when you reset the decks. That said, it’s the best trainer I’ve found on line to date.
Changes which hurt the player Changes in edge
Dealer hits A-6 -.20%
Double only on 11 -.46%
Double only on 10,11 -.09%
Double only 9, 10,11 -.09%
No resplitting pairs -.04%
No insurance (if you are counting cards) -.40%
This author is well aware of the pitfalls of team play, both from a technical aspect and of personality driven issues. The remaining issue is “Ambition.” When a player senses he could “do better” either as a manager, or in a different structure, he/she will often act to create their own team. In conventional businesses this ambition may be harnessed positively, but in team play blackjack it can result in political power plays, and all manner of dissatisfaction. The “human” factors are critical to long term success.
Hi, Im new at this game and not sure which basic strategy chart to memorize. I’ll be playing in Wendover. They have single ,double ,and 6 deck games. What would you suggest as a beginner?
Are the Basic Strategy Variations Matrix for Hi-Opt I? Where can I find the ones for Hi-lo? Also if I were to just use the Hi-Opt I count instead of Hi-lo, would that more profitable or would I need an Ace side count?
I haven’t been able to play for about a week.
I had a player double down on an ace/king in a tournament. He was a regular and knew the dealer. I lost because of that. Is that allowed

good day anyone out there
Did you say that I could play for hours and make $22.50 if all goes well? I can go get a part-time job at the mall and make more than that
$ 22.50 with bets of 5-60. Bet 50-600 to win $ 225.00 in 3 hours.
$ 22.50 with bets of 5-60.

Under the same conditions, if two hands are thrown at the expectation of winning and the same? Example: 22.50 for 3 hours?
Do any Vegas casinos offer surrender any more?
