Thanks for the website and the free advise. I do notice that you contradict yourself in some places and that your basic strategy card doesn’t align with what you are preaching in the lessons. Can you double check, and realign? Thanks
Just like in any number of decks. You divide the running count by the number of unseen decks. Let’s say you are playing a deeply dealt double deck game, and 1.5 decks have been used already.
If your running count is +3, you divide that by the number of unseen decks, which is 0.5. +3 / 0.5 = +6. Your true count is +6.
Sucks that this is the trend in Vegas. I stopped playing at the Venetian in LV about a year ago because of all the bs 6:5 games. Recently, I saw the NY NY just started doing this on their shoe games. I hope all blackjack players boycott these games so the greedy casinos are forced to go back to 3:2!
Is it true you guys are still getting shoe boxes dealt? We are from Asia and there is none to be found. It is all Continious Shuffling machines we are playing against. Can never be the same and cannot be counted anymore. Drop me a line if anyone knows how to beat these CSM. poiandrew at yahoo dot com
Was in vegas all week, haven’t been here in ten years. I can’t believe how these strip casinos have changed this to 6:5 so quickly. I ended up going to the Boulder highway casinos a little east of the strip and found they have the old 3:2 games in all of them. I don’t recommend the strip for blackjack at all anymore ….what a joke.
With a $500 bankroll, you will be overbetting your bank regardless of how good a game you can find. The only realistic approach with that bankroll would be to take a shot, and if you lose your bank, you’ll have to go back to work to gather another bankroll. If you try this approach, it is extremely important to play the very best games that you can. In fact, if you cannot play a decent 1 or 2 deck game, I wouldn’t bother. The six-deck games really can’t be tackled without a much larger bankroll.
thanks for the reply, i’ve another questions if don’t mind , if i split the cards and i win just one hand and the bet was 5$ , how much im gonna take for that ?
Each hand plays independently, with its own bet. If you win one hand for $5, and lose the other, your net result is zero. If you win one hand and push one hand, you would win $5.
There is a very small advantage to playing your hands late, so sitting close to third base would allow that. The benefit is that you get to see the hit cards of others at the table before you have to make a decision on your hand. This benefit is a very small one. I generally don’t worry about which seat I am in at all.
My advice is simple: Sit where you can comfortably see all the cards. For new counters, it can be intimidating to sit in first base, because the dealer will be looking to you to make a decision while you may still be busy counting the rest of the table’s cards.
Many players mistakenly believe that the first base spot is more likely than other spots to be dealt good cards in high counts. This is simply not true at all. Generally, players who fall for this myth do not understand the “True Count Theorem”. If that’s you, search for explanations here at BlackjackInfo.
Their chart looks like a 6-deck H17 strategy, although it doesn’t state that anywhere. I didn’t check every decision, but at a quick glance it appears accurate. If in doubt, pull up the matching rules at the Strategy Engine here. The Engine’s charts are accurate.
For East Texas, head to Lake Charles, LA. All the casinos there have decent games, including good double decks. If you are in North Texas, shop the casinos in Oklahoma for times and weekdays when they waive the ante. These games often have very good rules, except for the horrible ante. Drop the ante, and they’re quite good.
People like Tomi will always blame others for his poor decisions. If the person is to blame for the losses you earn, do yo thai them each time you hit a blackjack or you win? I doubt it. If he caused you to lose, then defacto he changed the card order and caused you to win as well!!

any advise for a bankroll of 500$ ?
