ok so i know this forum is for blackjack primarily but i placed in a blackjack tournament on nine.com and they said i have to wager the money on sports before i can withdraw so i complained and now i can wager on blackjack but they gave me some free money to try on sports. I was...

i wonder if we could write some software to play for you.

some online casinos such as bet365 have live blackjack games where a real person deals out of a shoe and stuff via some sort of webcam. is it possible to card count on this?

Say I had 3.5 decks remaining could I just say I have 4 decks remaining. I know I wouldnt be reaching my full potential but that way its more of a cautious play. How much of an advantage would I get doing this? Also how does the expected profit compare in these two situations: Situation 1...

can someone explain to me how the cut card strategy works?

when dividing to get the true count, if the true count is a decimal do you just truncate or do you round?

do most of you card counters use a fake identity when counting? If so how do you get comps? Dont they want a credit card as well?

If i am playing $10 hands and just flat betting with basic strategy how much should my bankroll be to cover fluctuations and how do you calculate that? Assuming house edge is .5%

is that using hi lo?

If counting hi lo I should enter a game when the true count is +2 right? because that gives me a .5% advantage. and then leave if it drops to +1 or if it drops to 0? Also on a typical 3 night trip, maybe 15-20 hours of play what do you think I could see in terms of the highest true count? I...

hey im playing in an online tournament where you can play 50 hands whenever you want so you dont see what other people are betting or anything. You get $1000 dollars in chips. I know I should just play BS and hope for the best but does anyone have advice on how much to bet?? The leader right now...

ya ok sorry I was too confusing. Let me try and reword this. In all my reading I have learned that a +1 count (using hi-lo) will about give the player even odds against the house. Is this built in because there are more high cards left or also because the player can be smarter in his strategy...

I know that people say for a each positive point in the count the player gains .5% advantage. Does that include the betting and altered basic strategy? Or is that .5% just considering flat betting and basic strategy?

Has anyone read Twenty-first Centruy Blackjack by Walter Thomason. Basically the guys used to not believe progression but now he is promoting it and as we all know progression betting doesnt really work when you hit that long loosing streak. Has anyone read the book and is it worth the...

If you were playing with a few other players and you bet big thinking an ace was coming out and the guy sitting to your right got it (or even worse the dealer) you are screwed. How can you be sure exactly when it comes out?
