Thank you for the lesson, but I have a pretty good grasp on what counting is. I am not going to play semantics with you about what constitutes a scam. I heard George Papadapolous on the radio a while back plugging his website and his system. He claims he has so many people interested in...

I have heard people say counting is a scam. It's all relative I guess. I wouldn't call a system (weather it works or not) for managing your bankroll a scam but I would call it a waste of money to buy it.

Another site that sells a betting system is blackjacknocounting.com I wouldn't call it a scam but I doubt it works in the long run. It just teaches you how to manange yoru bankroll and such.

From what I know now Foxwoods is a tough place to count these days if you are trying to win big.

Why? If she was counting the low cards and him the high cards and her info (running count) was relayed to him one way or another 2/3 of the way through and he was mathematically capable (which it seems like he was) to determine the True Count (based on this info) and he was able to...

My point was simple (and it's my fault for not being clear) is if you are playing multiple hands you can win more money when the count is in your favor (master of the obvious I know). But playing multiple hands is by no means required to have an advantage over the house. But if you are in team...

Ken pretty much covered it. Most higher limit tables ($100+) do not allow mid shoe entry nor to they allow you to stand there and watch. If your not playing the PB could ask you to leave that area. There is usually a sign that says "Player Only" when you enter that area. I have even seen...

Yes I know that, I was only pointing out one of the ways to maximize your bet when your at a high plus number and at a table with open spots. Trust me I don't need a lesson on the tricks of the trade.

Yes. Several in fact!

I just read Busting Vegas. Not bad. But not better than BDTH ;) But I recommend it.

I have split 10's to get rid of people at a table. I have also not split aces, split 2's, 3's, 4's etc to clear the table. You also do it to burn cards. I have also split 10's if I had a high plus count and had a lot of money on each hand (playing 4 hands for example) and got dealt: Hand...

Depending on your style of play, when I played I likes Foxwoods better because they allow you to split 10's and face cards. Moheagan Sun does not. Besides that both places are about the same.

I am guessing this was a typo on your part, any 10, J, Q, K or Ace is -1 not +1. You want as many 10 value cards & Ace's in the deck so when a 10V or Ace comes you that brings the count down not up. 10 through Ace would be -1 and 2 through 6 would be +1. But what do I know ;)

You are correct, the dealer does have same same odds as pulling a 20 or 21 as each player. But, if you control the table you can play multiple hands, so it's the dealers one hand vs. your 4+ hands.
