Mayor, your report to the Nevada Gaming Commission was extremely well written and thorough -- did you hire a lawyer to help you, or did you do it yourself? Please tell us more about this process... has the board responded? Must it respond within a certain time frame?

I have many questions about TC. Thanks for your help. In the 6 and 8 deck games, do hi-lo players aim to discern a deck down to the whole deck or 1/2 deck? How (especially if one decides to go to 1/2 precision), can one practice without buying many many decks of cards? Counting 26 cards and...

At the casino I frequent, comps are given out only as long as you apply for a "comp card." However, the application for that card asks for one's name, address, etc., and all sorts of things one would not give to a casino. How do most counters get comps while counting without giving away their...

I am counting hi/lo with I18 and Fab4, and I want to keep a seperate count for 7s so I can play a super sevens game. I know many think that's a worthless pursuit and a waste of effort, but I just want to know how I can properly keep that count. What kind of strategies or devices do people use to...

How can I find the basic (I18 or likewise) strategy variations for a game that allows late surrender? For example, two of the most important I18 variations are 16 v. 10 at 0 and 15 v. 10 at 4. However, what if the basic strategy for your game says to late surrender on on 16 v. 9, 10 and A, and...

I have two questions for the group: 1. I am looking to spread 1-10 or 1-12 at an 8-deck game at $5 or $10 tables (hopefully drawing no heat for that), and I am looking on how to vary my bet based on the count. I haven't found any particularly illuminating tutorial on the Kelly Criterion or...

Mayor, I take no credit for the first post of this thread. It was posted on the blackjack newsgroup in 1993 by Kerry Whisnant High Energy Physics Group [email protected] Department of Physics and Astronomy [email protected] Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011 It piqued my interest...

This was posting a while ago on the blackjack newsgroup, but no one responded to it. What do people think of think count strategy for super sevens? Does it make sense? Is it worth keeping a 7 count? I think I have a decent count strategy for the `Super Sevens' game (hereafter called SS). As...

Hi, I have mastered basic strategy and am getting good at keeping a hi-lo count (can count down a deck in about 30 seconds, sometimes less). I need some advice on how to implement my count at Foxwoods. It has 8D, DAS, DA2, LS, S17, which gives house odds of about 0.36%, I believe. The...
