Surveillance will inevitably spot us sooner or later, unless they’re asleep on the job haha. The landscape of advantage play in blackjack has changed dramatically. The level of paranoia is unreal, and it feels like they declared war on us after I started seeing database entries describing...

I don’t really have a choice — backoffs are pretty common these days for green-chip and higher action. Of course, I work with more finesse, Mr. S, but I need to extract more EV, and in some spots, I’ll be able to pop off the spread without drawing too much attention.

I don't switch because of the heat it creates. Its 1 hand heads up the whole time, no matter what. Even if you are getting smoked on a high TC situation, you keep the one because of what DSchles said, you want those rounds. If that penn is deep ... you are really in advantageous situation so...

Hey everyone, I’m a winning 1–20+ Hi-Lo player. As you can imagine, my time’s often limited, but sometimes I’m allowed to play. At times, though, I have to stick to a 1–10 spread because of non-player card rules. I took the counting quiz on QFIT, and it recommended switching to the Revere...

Thats not a back off, thats not anything. A dealer can't back you off. A dealer may even turn around and tell the floor you're counting and they must just shrug and not even care. A soft back off to me is when the PB or Floor says they're closing your table after you've been playing for hours...

Thanks, Mr. Schlesinger. This whole time I have been stating N-O; it will be missed.

A lot of the times they are pretty close, but be aware of the rounds per hour with the BJA Pro Betting Software (PBS). CVCX is more precise with the N-O and will give you more sobering truths. PBS makes everything seem like a winning situation if you don't really understand N-O, but in my...

Thank you

Yes, I wouldn’t bother with the compromised indices. I wanted to check if there is a level 2 system more beneficial to learn than FELT-F, or is it all very close? (Knowing me- I’ll be researching a lvl 3 system half a decade down the road, but this step first.) Spread is usually 1-20, sometimes...

Hey everyone, (I’m new to this forum so pardon me if this has already been posted and I can remove this post if necessary.) I have been using Hilo for a couple of years now and I use about 30 deviations- it doesn’t seem like I encounter many more than that overall. I’m in the black and that’s...
