I believe it is common practice for casinos to take pics of you and match it to your players card. Also if you are a regular or larger bet player without a players card they will open a file on you and put your pic there. Biometrics at the moment however is shaky at best. I'm aware of some...

Many thanks ZG. Question..... Am I better off from now on just betting tiny for practice?? With a bankroll of 11k what would be a good bet spread and unit size??? My games are H17 resplitting allowed, dd on any 2 cards 6 deck 85%+ penetration, Lucky Ladies side bet SP21 H17 90% pen...

Haha, NO ZG - I just don't get on here as often as I'd like. Bet Spread in this instance was ..... $10-$300... Reason..... Up to this shoe I was betting small Bet Spread of 1-10 using $10-$100. Then the count went crazy and I thought what the hell (lesson learnt!)..... my original post was...

Just had the shoe to die for...... TC of 10+ with 3 decks in... remaining high (above TC 6 to the end, pen 90%). Was playing lucky ladies...... here's the killer..... Won almost all (80%) of the early hands when the bet and the count was low. Then it went stellar... betting $25 per hand on...

I've seen a few counters in my casino. I never say anything as it's not illegal.... and if the pit bosses aren't savvy enough to spot it then that's their look out. Casinos have a lisence to print money as it is. Hang on.. I'm sounding like a counter now;)

Both S17 and H17 versions of SP21 are very beatable, as long as you have decent penetration... 85% or above - pretty standard on SP21 as the cut card measured against the top of the 6 decks minus the 10s is about 85%. The S17 is slightly better but there isn't much in it. To answer your...

Just back from rinsing the Ladies at a casino in the West...... got a few 4-1's ... but GUTTED when someone on my table got the 125-1 for queen of hearts pair with a $1 bet - if it had been my $25 I would have got $3125! Still - I am getting closer - and satisfying to see it drop when the TC was...

I've been taking Lucky Ladies to the cleaners lately - always play max bet ($25)after TC > +6. Hitting it about 40% of the time then - although I know I have been lucky. Only ever got 4-1 or 9-1 but it still rocks. My game is 6D H17 85% pen avg. Think I got the original chart from Zen here... I...

I am a dealer and we cannot play table games in our own casino... plus all the local casinos tend to know I am a dealer so treat me accordingly - sometimes for the best, sometimes for the worst - but always cautiously with regards play. It's got to the point that I don't even try and count in...

Mistakes? We never make mistakes;)

Casino I work in - regulation pen. is 67%. But many dealers ignore and do 90-95%;)

Zen - i have the book - it's greeeaaatttt! As far as I am concerned.... works well and does the best it can to explain SP21 to both novice and hardcore people alike. Where I deal - not Michigan by the way..... 6 decks... $5-$300... Pen 90-95% almost always.... H17.... split up to 4 times on...

After getting into this book I'd just like to say.... what a great work this is.. well written and worthy of praisel. And to those who bemoaned it - shame on you. Negativity is the bane around the neck of all good players.. i see this in action every day of the week when I deal. Well done...

Mine arrived today so you've sold at least 82 now Katerina;) At the casino I work... we were told that Spanish 21 is uncountable so we can cut with pen of 90-95% no problems :).. and has a whopping 42% profit rate for the house... that is that supposedly 42% of any money spent on that table is...

I keep reading and hearing all kinds of stories about 'taking heat'. But in my limited experience.. and the casinos I know about - you'd have to walk away with several g's a few times in succession for them to really bother about you.. card counting or not. i saw one guy who was obviously not...
