If one could be so kind as to calculate my RoR with the following circumstances: Single Deck, hit soft 17, NDAS, double on any 2, re-split aces, one card on split aces, bj 3:2, approx 65-70% pen... Using Zen count with positive indices spreading $25-$100 TC 1 - $50 TC 2+ - $100 If session...

tell the dealer you want a re-do.

Just play the $3 table until you figure out 25 * 16 =/= 200. Why not just spread from $10-$160? If you don't like the table, find a different one, they never close. If I were you I'd listen to Flash's "useless sludge" and either save up the BR, find a game you can afford, or stick to keno.

What about something like a Martingale type system? Since the payout is 3:1, you wouldn't have to double your bet after every loss to make a profit, only raise it slightly. Therefore you wouldn't start doubling your bet past table/ BR limits after 5/6 consecutive losses. What about this...

Last night my buddy was flat betting 5$ on the Royal Match side bet and did pretty well. Seemed to go on streaks, but there was never a long streak where 2 suited cards didn't come up. I was wondering about how you could use a progressive system in order to beat RM? Single Deck any 2 cards...

Thanks for this informations, really helps. I was wondering about my spread and felt I was doing it wrong, because especially with the zen count and the denominator being multiplied by 4, it's rare to get a really high count unless you have really deep penetration and a big slug towards the...

I've been spreading like this: TC=(-)0-1.. 1 unit TC=2.. 2 units TC=3.. 3 units TC=4.. 4 units TC=5.. 5 units TC=6.. 6 units How do you suggest I spread?

I'm using 16 v. x.. 0 13 v. 2 ..0 11 v. A.. 0 15 v X ..1 12 v. 2 & 3.. 1 10 v. 10 & A.. 1 Insurance.. 1 16 v. 9 ..+2 14 v X ..+3 15 v 9.. +4 16 v 8 .. +4 16 v 7... +5 I'm currently learning the (-) index numbers, but these are the ones I've been using. I feel like I win more...

"With zen count the true edge is calculated by dividing the running count by the number of remaining decks, multiplied by 4. Deeper into the shoe the denominators get smaller. In SD you break the deck into 4 quarters. In the first quarter, your true edge is your running count divided by 4; in...

I have practiced side counts of aces, 7, and 9's when playing alone and practicing, and it is something I can handle.. It's not too bad with only SD... But, how do I change my play according to these counts? That's why I dropped the side count of Aces because I don't know what to do with it....

I understand that that could be part of the problem, I am new and just starting to play and I'm trying to find what I like to use. But counting cards has never been difficult for me, I've always found it pretty easy. Even the zen count which is supposed to be a more advanced count level 2, I...

Yes both are true. I was using Hi-opt 1 count but I didn't like the indices and I didn't really understand how to use the ace-side count to my advantage. So I switched to zen and have played with that for 100 hours since. Counting the cards has not been an issue, I count for about 4/5 hours...

I've consistently lost about 20 - 40 units each session. There were a couple sessions where I only lost about 5 units. Biggest win was 20 units, biggest loss was about 45.

Yes I round the TC for betting purposes. Yes I know how to determine TC in SD games, with Zen count it is different tho, because you must times the denominator by 4. So if RC=4 after first hand, 4/4= TC1. if RC=8 after half the deck, 8/2=TC4. And yes I always round bets down, if RC=7 and...

Also, I was reading through some other threads about where I play and they say the SD games where I play are very good. The same is also mentioned in "Blackbelt in Blackjack." These are also reasons why I keep playing this game because it's been talked up so much.
