Not a big deal, but the indice for 9 Vs 7 on this site is 4, but in Professional Blackjack it is 3. How come? Thanks in advance.

I would love to hear any/all views/advice about counting aces with Hi-Lo and Ill 18. Things like...how you do it...some of the advantages...play variations, etc.

I was wondering at what penetration point of a pitch DD game with DOA, DAS, & H17 would be really worthwhile playing? My thinking is that if they cut off a full deck or more, then it is probably a waste of time. I would be using Hi-Lo with as many of the Ill 18 that I could muster up. Also I am...

Re: Bang On Hi Rob...I'd like to think that we didn't quite average 100 hands/hour which would then up the % to say 1.5 but I have no way of really knowing for sure. Anyways, her win was mostly lucky cards while mine was all skill--can't let her see this post though...grin. As far as Missouri...

We left home July 8th and returned on August 16th. Cheers!!!

Summer trip with approx 200 hrs of play and a 200 unit win for each of us. Best game found was in Mesquite with DAS for single deck and friendly dealers and pit. Backed off at the Suncoast while losing--no discussion, just picked up remaining chips and left the table. Good games in Reno for...

There's no substitute for 'live' play... so my suggestion is just to keep on flat betting at the minimum and so what have you got to lose in a nearly even game of basic strategy BJ? So just keep on practicing at the tables till your skills improve to the point where you KNOW that the count is...

60 hours, mostly downtown, plus 120 units, all 1D and 2D, Hi-Lo, some bathroom breaks on especially bad counts early, 1-4 spread, no heat--just a lot of looking, kept moving around like a merry-go-round, DAS at the Plaza, tried some SF21-found it to be quite tiring so kept the sessions short...

But it was just sooooooo much fun. I'm sure NOT looking forward to 4 IN A ROW losing sessions but as you say--don't overbet your bankroll. It's sure nice to have a 'fighting chance' against the casinos. One week to Vegas and all those coupons--YEEHAW!! Maybe I sound a bit like Rob McG ---yes I...

Here goes...I've been at this for a few months now, starting out by reading as much as I could on the internet at the various sites,liking this one the best, joining green chip at BJ21, printing out basic strategy charts from the Wizard of Odds internet site, buying Wong's 'Professional BJ' &...

Thanks for the explanation and by the way...I always enjoy reading your posts.

I have been wondering how the 'rule of (x) works?? I've seen it written about but don't know how it works so could someone explain that to me? As far as pen goes, for the 1 deck, if there were 4 or more players, then 2 rounds and that's it; for the 2 deck game, the deck was dealt down to at...

Reno trip--arrived BTown at 11pm--played 1 deck for 3 hrs (+ 5 units), sleep, next day-- played 5 hours in the pm (+ 10 units), drove to Atlantis to play 1 deck for 1 hr (- 1 unit), Peppermill for 1 hr (- 2 units), back to BTown to play 3 hrs in the wee hrs (+ 2 units), sleep, moved hotels, out...

OK, I want to read the story too--the one where ZG convinced the pit crew that he was a casino owner--this has got to be good! Where is it? Thanks in advance.

Hey Abe, thanks for your imput. Here are some of the reasons I have chosen to go after the 1D game: I have a downloaded program (Sage) that I have been practicing on at home and am fairly comfortable with the face-down play; I prefer the 1-4 spread versus a larger spread which I understand needs...
