it is?! bad counters also generate good revenue for the casino.

well. if im obviously losing, there wouldn't be need to hold short sessions. hm?

can someone explain what front and back mean?

isn't it dead obvious to pit bosses when you wong-in and wong-out? and how can people count cards when they are standing two feet away from a table pretending to be watching TV? do i need to train my peripheral vision? and do you always start counting right after shuffling? edit: and if you...

very good explanation. thank you rukus. why was the 98 zen count invented then? i thought you divide by an extra 4 to get the true edge ..(which isn't that useful, it seems)

yes. i think i've read 2D explanations on this forum but I still don't understand it. :) and i dont know what loss of resolution means.

I did buy the Snyder book. but it is still in shipping and I can't wait to have my question answered. Verite has a complete zen count and a '98 zen count. the indices look entirely different for the two of them. what's the catch? I've been using the complete count and I thought I was doing...

an off-topic question. if we already bought CV, can we not download newer releases for free?

Im using Zen count. There are still about 3 decks left. Hence RC=17 and TC=5. The dealer shows an ace. I bought insurance. Insurance is lost. So the dealer doesn't have a 10 underneath. Then I moused over to see the count. it says RC=17, TC=17.

This is in Casino Verite. The running count was +17. and the True count is something +5. I lost my insurance bet. and suddenly the true count jumped up to +17 as well (with the running count still at +17). I've read a few blackjack books but i have yet to read about adjusting the true...

hm. i wasn't very good at BS back then and i believed him.

actually, you know what? before i had my BS down, i stood on a soft 17 against a six. the dealer told me to hit...and told me that there are 6 cards that can help me. so i hit...and then i lost the hand. now that i know i should double. what a crappy dealer. EDIT: that was in vegas by...

I tried my fastest going through a deck of cards 2 by 2 without even counting. and it took me 20 seconds just to put the whole deck onto the table. then I went through it 1 by 1, without counting again, and it took me 29 seconds. How can professionals count faster than 20 seconds then? ..are...

thanks for the site. however, why on earth can't you deal two cards at the same time, and take them both away at the same time while showing the next two cards? the dealing one card at a time thing confuses me. (and should i be practicing counting 3 and 4 cards at once?) Andy

It looks like its $90 just to get the full version. is it worth it for a card counter wanna-be?
