    Alias professions?

    I was wondering what type of alias professions work when a casino employee asks you what you're doing for a living. On the one hand, the chosen profession should justifiy your ability to play (and lose) big amounts of money, but it should not be too threatening. Like "mathematician, with a...

    Won 1500 dollars in negative counts

    Good opportunity to ask One question that begins to come to my mind more and more often: BJ advantage play works only when you go into big numbers. I ran a few simulations and, StanDev is worrying me. Would it make any sense at all to play a few hours a couple of times a year? (there is no...

    Question to Zengrifter

    I think... I understood it this way: 1) yes, 2 hands of 6 units each, 2) 0.25 was just based on a recommendation of a 600 units BR. I guess the idea behind such a low bet was to be able to play (without wonging out) and wait for a high count without getting broke. 2b) This is not the same as...

    Question to Zengrifter

    Hi Zengrifter, In your previous answer to my question regarding betting strategy, you directed me to a 12 spread if wonging (from 1 to 6-6 units), which is fine, but also a 48 spread if playing all (from 0.25 to 6-6 units). 48 seems pretty extreme and I don't know how I would get away with it...

    To those who are not pros

    Thx LTC and Hal She is educated (and probably smarter than me) but has no interest in BJ so far. Rather than scarrying her off with counting systems and cover strategies, I was thinking of catching her interest just the way mine got caugth: by reading a novel like "Bringing Down the House"...
