I am overcome
:1st:
Christ! Does nothing escape the intense jackboot scrutiny of the ZZ Kommandant, no matter how subtley it's hidden? JSTAT, take an early surrender... You've been made. May the Force be with you. Turn that other cheek again, as well. Git out your badge. Hold it high. Your Sacred Mission has a much higher EV than a normal unsacred one. Badge: "I shall overcome."

I remember a lot of things about that time...but I don't remember that one
Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it.

I defer to scriptures of blackjack preached by Bishop Arnold Snyder of the First Church of Blackjack. When in doubt, I seek his divine guidance. The Bishop preaches about rigged computer simulations in the Fall 1999 issue of Blackjack Forum. The article called "Battle Of The Babies" written by the holy one states, "It is not difficult for me to set up a computer simulation where the Hi-Lo Count will outperform the Advanced Omega II, even when both both counts are being played accurately and employing the same betting spread. All I have to do is play around with the betting strategies so that Omega II is waiting too long to put its big bets on the table. If I simply raise the true count by one or two numbers where these bigger bets are placed, then Hi-Lo will appear to be a stronger system. In fact, the Hi-Lo is simply being played more aggressively and with a higher risk of ruin."

All that means is that those two count systems are very close in performance. And both are well known as good systems.
I really believe you have no idea why you say the things you do. Everything you spout is just regurgitated information from other sources. Whether these sources are reliable or not means nothing to you because you have demonstrated no understanding of what you are saying. When asked for evidence you transfer the conversation to ridiculous outbursts or just nonsensical banter.
As far as the effectiveness of hi lo, I posed this question to JSTAT in a recent chat, "If hi lo is a hoax how can I have had a successful blackjack career for 15 years using it?" His response was that I was nothing more than someone scanning the message boards looking to recruit players for a team and take their money, and that my past posts prove that. Again it is JSTATS limited understanding of which he speaks that does not allow him to enter into any logical discussion on the real pros and cons of his point of view. Basically when cornered he acts like a clown to transfer the responsibility of his opinions and accusations. As far as his accusations go if there is anybody here that I have taken a dime from please come forward. There have been just a few here that I have had the pleasure of meeting and playing with, and everyone has played on my bankroll with no risk of their own money. So please JSTAT do yourself a favor and get yourself straight and informed, even if your opinion isn't popular, if you don't know how do defend it, its nothing more than bullsh*t.
The trouble is, we already have n00bs confused (and damaged?) by the misinformation JSTAT insists on repeating. I think it's good that his posts are countered, though it's definitely getting tiresome.

Tell you what man. Tens counts and ace-neutral counts are valuable tools, and I do research with them all the time.
Why don't you just give me the system tags for whatever system you are promoting? I will optimize it, and I can guarantee you it will outperform High-Low in some situations (and you will have numbers to prove it) and it will do 75% of what High-Low will do in any situation. Then you can talk about your system in a way that will benefit advantage players, without having to talk crap.

I remember Martin Luther nailing stuff to the church door, although it was before my time, but I don't believe he nailed his namesake, MLK. And, yes, a Diet of Worms was involved. I assure you I am telling the honest truth. As has been said, "Here I stand. I can do no other." Although I have left it to you to read between the lines.

Great Pen
Right daddybo, the great pen hit the high point on the Day of Pentecost and has been steadily decreasing ever since. They had a game in the Upper Room that dealt a double decker down to the last card.

That sounds like one hell of a deal! I'd jump all over that JSTAT!

Too late, "Blackjack Card Count Hoax" was published on http://www.examiner.com/x-18051-San...Examiner~y2009m7d23-Blackjack-Card-Count-Hoax newswire for the whole world to see. Google Stanford Wong on Google News to find it. The censoring of this topic by moving this thread to the Zen Zone from the Card Counting page makes an interesting topic in the future. You can only hope to contain the truth, but can't stop it.

So you get a free offer for in-depth analysis, and aren't interested. Why aren't any of us surprised.

Staying on topic for this thread is my desire. Automatic Monkey's offer to run my modified Ten Count is a road I'd rather not travel on. Monkey already suggested his findings without knowing the facts. The sim for my count will be done at Cal Berkeley. Cal is able to independently analyze High/Low and Thorp's modified Ten Count. I'd accept its findings.

Someone, or everyone, please go to this article and give fairly concise authorative
comment to debunk JSTAT's premise. AutoMonk and/or anyone. Ken? Sonny? Can link
