    Speed Counting

    You can read about this method in complete detail that was independently 'discovered' by Carlos Zilzer, (separate from the 'Golden Touch' method.) URL: http://www.blackjackforumonline.com/content/Easy_OPP_Card_Counting_System.htm I used this method for about 5 years, (but have recently...

    How to handle negative indices with Red7

    I'm using Red7 and have a collection of positive and negative indexes I'm using. (For 2-deck, the running count starts at -4 and I increase my bet at 0). I've grouped the positive indexes into two groups, 0 and 2, and that's the running count where I use those. My question is about the...

    Blackjack Machine

    electronic tables All of the 'blackjack' at the Harrah's Casino in Cherokee, NC is on electronic tables. Everyone has their own TV screen imbedded into the table. They have real dealers to handle the chips, however. Their gambling agreement doesn't allow any card or dice games, only machines...

    Am I reading the indexes right?

    Zero count indexes ? How do the zero count indexes numbers work? I see 2 plays, 12 vs. 4 and 13 vs. 2 listed at a count of zero. It would seem to me that if the count is zero (like at the beginning of the shoe), I'd just make the Basic Strategy play. When do I make the BS play and when do I...

    Am I reading the indexes right?

    I looked up the 'index' plays on this page: http://cardcounter.com/indices/-11111100-1.htm (Archive copy) . I'm assuming this is the simple High-Low counting system, (the numbers listed go from A - Face). Tell me if I'm reading this table right, (I'm looking at the 6D column and have...

    Not getting any positive counts

    I did my first 'real' card counting on a trip to Biloxi last weekend. My observation was that it was extremely hard to get a large positive count to bet into. Is this a common situation, playing deck after deck and never getting a count high enough to make a large bet? Or was I just unlucky? I...
