Is there a source some place readily available that gives the percentage of wins and losses for each hand of blackjack dependending on how the hand was played ? Example: 16 v 10 if player hits player wins 23.5% ... if player stands player wins 23% of time

In my area there are only 6 and 8 deck shoe games. 1. Do i have to begin counting each shoe at the very beginning ? 2. If Not what is the correct way to count a shoe already started? I'm assuming I should correctly estimate the # of decks already discarded to tray and begin there. Please...

Mohegan differences vs Foxwoods A couple of other small differences between Mohegan and Foxwoods are 1. Mohegan does not limit the # of times a player may split to 4 as do most casino's including Foxwoods. 2. If you play the Match the house pays 11 to 1 vs the 10 to 1 at Foxwoods for a...

. What im saying is the larger progression would start at 10 units. It would definately not be a negative progression but something like oscars' grind where the bets would never be increased on a loss. The betting units would remain the same after a loss. If and when the shoe ended and the...

Progression does not always mean martingale When I started this thread I was looking for input about using a progression similiar to or like Oscar's Grind only when I had a positive part of the shoe. What I am actually saying is I would play 2 progressions. 1. When the count is neutral or...

I understand -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRY hard to understand. Read this statement several times until you can recall it without effort. The frequency of winning hands is not altered very much by the True Count. You can never...

I am not doubting the math or end results associated with counting and betting according to the count correctly. I truely believe it works and have used it for many years. The point I am trying to get more input on is simply that a progression like Oscar's Grind may work IF ONLY PLAYED IN...

Progression only in positive count I have read everywhere on this forum that a progression can never be successful because of the negative end result. ( In my case the casino's I play at have -.4% advantage) I agree. I guess my questions of playing only an Oscar's Grind type progression only...

Assume R .. Thanks for welcome. I am talking about using a progression ( (something like Oscar's grind) only when count is positive and then if count drops to neutral or negative revert back to flat bet.

Why would a progression fail if only used when player advantage is at least + .1% ? Example .... flat bet ( $ 10.00 ) for shoe and then once in positive play a much larger progression. ($50.00)

I just joined today but have been avid follower of site for couple years. I am a former east coast dealer ( 6 years). Posters are correct when posting that most dealers have no clue how to play correctly. Could someone please explain to me the math behind a player having an advantage of up...
