Looking forward to it CP

My book THE COUNT OF THE CARDS has now been stocked by the GAMBLER'S BOOK CLUB in Las Vegas. It was also reviewed by Dana Smith. The review is at http://www.creativeimaginationsllc.com/apps/blog/show/5365544-review-of-the-count-of-the-cards-by-dana-smith. I am flying out there for interview in...

Would love too, CP. My publisher is sending me to Vegas in a few weeks for a book interview recording for Gamblers Book Club about 3 miles off strip. Would love to meet any members that live there as well.

If that were true, clumps of high cards would be your advantage. The fact that you pushed that particular time does not change the advantage. I personally don't believe you need worry about that situation.

There is an article about this site on my publisher's web site. Feel free to add comments if you like. It can be found at http://www.creativeimaginationsllc.com/apps/blog/show/5104999-learning-to-count-cards-in-blackjack

Thanks Sucker. Since it's online play I assume basic strategy is used to determine as counting is not feasible online with shuffle every hand.

Ken, is there a max bust ratio of stiff hands that is tolerable for online (assuming proper play). If certain 90% is not honest game, what about 80%, 70%...)?

I understand you are eating your own cards on the multiple hands (let's say 3) but isn't that OK (in a high count) since you are receiving the majority of them, e.g. your 8-12 cards, say vs. the dealer 2-4. Help me on this one.

Oh yeah, losing with 20 on max bets happens too. It is no doubt you will come out ahead if counting properly without too many mistakes. It helped me tremendously to keep an up to date journal of my playing activity. As I went back and looked at the results over time, it was a confidence builder.

IP, for sure.

Surprised it took this long for LC to make the conversion. Seems like they were doing that a while back as well. There were some good games though and the only reason to hit LC.

This has happened to many times to remember. Winning streaks with the min bet seems to rule at times.

I wouldn't call it bad luck but for me when I first started I lost most times I played. I started at the $5 level so the losses were not discouraging money wise but it shook me up in my head. I learned as time went on that for me there was a period necessary at the tables to learn HOW to win...

I don't know if they would let you pick up the coupon or not. They allow you to pick up your chips because at that point the odds are in your favor. I am not sure picking up the coupon is really best since you are favored to win at that point.
