    Attacking 6:5 for fun (and profit?)

    6:5 Revisited. I did this and won most of my sessions (about 90%) at 6:5, but the one session that lost was too big a loss ($570, betting $10 min up to $100). a TC of +2 is a 0.25% advantage, not much but its something. The rules I came up with were only play heads up, vary your bets widely...

    blackjack switch & card counting?

    bj switch. I have heard the game at Casino Royale in vegas has a 0.19% house edge without counting but using perfect strategy (which shackleford says nobody has a memorizable strategy.) I played it but got too many pushes. Id have 2 twenties and he'd have 22. If the dealer 22 push issue were...

    Any side counts worth anything in Lucky Ladies?

    Supposedly it's valuable in +6.5 tc. I like the square pairs bet 4-1 on any 20, the dealers card is meaningless in this. Plus it pays 1000-1 on pair of queen of hearts in a DD game. If the count is +4 with no Qh's out then bet $100 on your and and $25 on the side bet (thats the max where I...

    Nevada - take note from a state with profitable casinos

    I am not impressed with PA games The games are okay, but no single deck games and they may in the future have double deck games. 6:5 single deck isnt nearly as good as single deck with D10,11, but they have neither. 6 and 8 deck games rarely have the big advantages single and double deck...

    When should you split 10's?

    Either always against a 6 or never The dealer 6 busts 42% of the time, in positive counts this rises in negative it falls. Splitting tens against a 6 in a +4 count is correct, but in a negative count it is a mistake. If you always do so you look like a ploppy. If you do it sometimes, you...

    6:5 BJ is a Failure

    6:5 isn't so bad 6:5 isn't going away, in south FL there is a very popular $25 min table on one of the casino cruises and in vegas they have plenty of customers (even at high minimums). Most BJ players suck, at the good games I played and the 6:5 games most players bet big in negative counts...

    Am i experiencing +EV or is this normal?

    sounds good Late surrender on double deck game. where is it? Your game is going very well, keep it up. If you play at empty tables with good penetration it cuts down on negative swings which may come in the future. The EV+ is expected, you are playing well at a good game. You're doing...

    What is the edge with this style of play?

    always insure a 5/5 or 5/6 against an ace, otherwise insure on +1 and above betting spread $10 -1 or less, $20 neutral, $30-40 +1 (depends on Aces), $40-60 +2. $60 on +3, 20x the count above that (i.e. +10 is $200). In -4 count split 5's against 6 if DAS is allowed (only if playing 6:5)...

    Cape Canaveral Victory Casino Cruise questions

    The main thing I wonder is if it is crowded? Double deck is only worth it with 1-2 players, 3 is a stretch. Any and all details are welcome.
