    No. It is an electronic blackjack game.

    hitting after double down

    Can anyone tell me what the advantage gained from this very odd rule (I have never seen before) where you can hit again after doubling down? The example would be dealer has a 7, player has 10, player doubles down and receives a 3 and then is allowed to hit again.

    Odds of losing 20 hands in a row without any pushes?

    Now regarding 20 or 23 losses in a row. I always take these discussions with a grain of salt. Does anyone really start counting losing hands from the first loss? No. So I think selective memory comes into play. You lose a number of hands, maybe 8 or 9 hands and you say something to yourself...

    No they don't . But guess what, they didn't need to go to dealer h17 either. Or 6:5 BJ after that. They already had an advantage and didn't need to. But that didn't stop them. At video poker casinos didn't need to cut down from 9/6 to 8/6 to 8/5 and even lower. At Roulette they didn't need...

    One casino

    I agree with most of Johndoe's suggestions but want to offer a different take on the players card as well as add a few ideas. In this situation, playing unrated or rated probably makes no difference. If you are a regular and play unrated, they will usually assign some sort of identifying...

    Different basic strategy factoring wonging out

    Hi Don. Belated happy New Year. So what if you are playing BS based on index plays? In other words card counters basic strategy?

    Don, when I hit my 15 and draw a 9, the damn card is upside down. ;)

    I can answer any clumping question here.

    While I don't have this machine, I know who does. But I am rather certain, this person will not be posting any "demo" on any forum. Doing so invites all kinds of trouble for owning or possessing a machine illegally. On top of that, this person is a top AP and his interest isn't educating or...

    Wait, these guys are talking to/about me, with this demo request? Dream on. The shuffle machine I purchased and had possession of, I only processed for a few weeks. Truth be told, I was rather uncomfortable having this machine in my possession as they are highly protected. After I saw what I...

    I don't know what approach BJGenius has used to look into it, but when I became convinced of this capability, I tracked hundreds of shoes of play. I then purchased the exact model machine I had concerns about, not a knockoff, but a machine used a casino in Asia that had closed, privately, on...

    I am no longer on Norm's forum. Handle was KJ. I made the first 8 posts on the forum and participated for 4 years before being banned. The posts made concerning this topic were under Spiderman. There was a group looking into legal action at the time. It was less a lawsuit and more a complaint...

    And by the way, G man, I have shared my experiences publicly including results each year for 16 years now. I have had years that I have been 60k below expectation twice and years 40-50k above expectation several times. Just two years ago 2020 (covid year), my blackjack earnings were about 14k...

    I have been playing this game for a living for 19 years now, 13 in Las Vegas, where I live. For most of those 19 years I played in the neighborhood of 80,000 rounds per year. In the last 3 years, which I will call the covid years, I have been playing a bit differently, less hours at about...

    If there is a clump of 10 value cards and a small clump of aces and they are kept separate, it makes zero difference how players play, who joins or exits the game mid shoe, or where the cut occurs. These two clumps kept separate will result in fewer blackjacks.....advantage house. The two...

    I am not going to reply to Larry, as he is a nut, but you seem like a reasonable person, so I will reply. I just want to be clear what you are arguing. That it can't be done? Or that it isn't being done? When I was a kid, I watched reruns of the Six Million Dollar Man TV show. I wonder...
