I understand what you are saying - however - doesn't the idea of people taking x # of hits on a high TC when they have stiff hands, mean each hit is independent of each other. You'd have to recalculate each hit with respect to the TC wouldn't you? You aren't hitting or not hitting based on and...

K - now I think I figured out your index system - you're basically showing the cusp of when its not profitable to when its profitable - but as your tables are showing - a lot of the index plays are pretty minor Can you run some simulations on when to take insurance? the book I read said + 4...

So if thats the case - surrender?

welcome to the site - you will find many helpful people here - and some that are not so helpful. Most of the non-helpful people you'll meet seem to around the time you start making bigger money. If you do ever get lucky/succeed in the short run - be prepared for some disbelief. It happens...

Went tonight - played for about 1 hour. Started with 10k - walked away with 22k. Bet 3 hands 1k each on a +6 count - lost 3 hands - count was down to +2 Followed up with a false bet of 3 hands 1k each - won that hand. Count went to +1 Followed that up with the same hands followed as...

I'm basically thinking its kinda a waste of time talking with you for now :)

Thanks - after reading his posting I'm really wondering what this guy is after with his posts... Update for the last night - went in with 1k and won 2k. Mostly played basic strat - did not even attempt to count last night so this was purely luck based. Definitely still noticing pit bosses...

Wow - this thread is so funny and some good stories :) I love how when people who were watching /playing at the same table would comment about my max bets getting blackjack "wow you really know what you are doing"...somehow the images of all the max bets i lost still scroll through my...

I feel like sticking around because most people at a casino have no idea how to play......I know there are a few people out there that will actually offer good advice and I can already see theres tons of info on this site that I can actually use. This casino I'm referring to always has a...

Well go ahead and call me a PC then I guess. In case you didnt notice before - I did specifically point out examples of pit bosses that TRIED to get me to play more...and other pit bosses that really just sat and talked with me - granted that is also part of their job - but not as disturbing as...

I'm beginning to understand a lot more as I feel my way through this forum :) I always appreciate a polite/constructive good post :)

wait...doesn't that statement above reference me being a pit critter? Or am I just starting a little late on my mountain dew.....

No - I didnt say you specifically called me a pit critter - I was referring to the general forum group that someone called me a PC as none of my posts I think would actually indicate I was PC. **Edit oi...I am late on the mountain dew - I'm definitely calling you out though bra - I say that...

Here - lemme go grab a spinnerbait and a fishing boat for you as well :) By the way - I always wondered where those PC's were hiding at - bet the ceiling gives em a pretty good view...maybe they should construct the ceiling a little better :) If i can get away with a 60 bet spread -...

Thank you - for your post. I appreciate you being more constructive/courteous than some of the other members of this forum. Yeah - I am fully aware that when counting - even if the count goes way high on you - the high cards could all be at the end where you'll never see em. But I think...
