Well said, well said. Might I might add too, for those new persons thinking of starting a team, that "21" only showed the tip of the iceberg of the work the MIT kids put in. The hard work is "boring and tedious" and doesn't make for good TV. However, those who have read the books, myself...

I am only there on friday/saturday/sundays. Mostly 6/8D, nothing smaller. Friday/Saturday nights are all $25+... maybe one or two $15 but you'll never get a seat at those Black chip tables in the asian secion almost always have CSMs the ones that dont have "eyes" Not to be sexist, but...

I "think" i disagree with most of what has been posted here. I believe answer is 99%, only because the fact that the statement was made "the test is 99% accurate" already takes into account that the test has been right and wrong at particular samples of populations. Thus, doing additional...

Hey all, thanks for your replies. Perhaps I missed it in the book, but I don't believe the author wrote the exact difference in advantage between this and a hi-low method. The more I look at this, the more it looks like Arnold Synder's Red 7 count with a pre-adjustment for the true count. I...

Alrighty folks, I gots a doozy of a question. Just got home from B&N and happened to come across a new book called Golden Touch Blackjack (I think). Interested, I sat down and read about half the book. In it, the author details his new (computer tested) BJ counting method. While he admits...

Hey all... I just started playing down at foxwoods and mohegan. Does anyone else play there? I'm kind of hesitant on what kind of spreads to use, as those casinos have gotten hit pretty hard in the past by counting teams. What spreads do other people use? Any useful information when...

Oh this seems alllll too familiar.... trust me kid, it doesn't work. I used a negative progression once in my ignorant days online, starting at $1.00. I won $1200 bucks on Vegas Red using that progression. Called my friends, told them we'd be going to Disney World soon, on me. Next day I...

Hey all... I'm new to this site. I've been to a lot of the major counting and BJ forums on the web ( arnold's, this one, stanly wongs), and I've yet to come across any forums or boards devoted to meeting other BJ players in an area for team play and such. I understand the obvious concerns...

I'm from southern NH (manchester area)... went to school at Boston U and now work in Boston. Back about 15 or so years ago, a couple of teams of BJ counters from MIT were formed, funded by some big investors as well as themselves. One of the guys on the team, Mike (has his own site...

I've played on Vegas Red (which i believe if i'm not mistaken is associated with 888?).... they match up to a certain percentage of initial deposit, which escapes me at the moment... I was up $1200...then tried testing out a betting scheme i'm working on... ended up losing all except my initial...

Hey Timekeeper, I too play in the Foxwoods/Mohegan region and started studying BJ and card counting as of this summer. Unfortunetly for us, Foxwoods/Mohegan aren't the best places to play for a couple of reasons; horribly crowded on the weekends (to the point where you can't get a table)...
