So a buddy and I are going to a local casino in August and I've got a $90 dollar matchplay and he's got a $180 dollar matchplay. Just curious what our best bet is for turning that into cash. Since it's a one shot deal would I be better off throwing it down on a high + count in BJ (I...

Played a decent game this weekend at Ilse of Capri. 15 min, DD, S17, Double any 2, Re-Split Aces, 50% Pen. Everything else was 8 decks.. uggh.

So anyways, two weeks later and I'm back from my first trip after using a count strategy (basic Hi-Lo) and sticking to standard BS. I had a 1k roll so I knew the odds were against me going in, and the best game I could find was a 15 min 2 deck with good rules (S17, No Surrender, Double any 2...

I get inspired every time you write one of your posts here. I realize I'm new here and I'll probably never aspire to the level of being a "winner" you are, but just reading about how you go crush the casino for a couple hundred bucks in an hour or two on almost a daily basis without every...

If you honestly follow this strategy and play the kind of bets you speak of with a 1200 dollar roll even with an advanced counting strategy and good deck odds you would have to have an extremely high RoR. If you stick down that first 100 bet, split 2 cards and double you stand to lose ~35% of...

Ok, I need a little help here with the concept of Wonging. While I completely understand it and agree with it in principle I don't understand how you actually execute it in the casino. 2 examples: 1. 6-deck shoe, No surrender/Double any 2 cards/Split up to 4 times/No Resplit Aces/ Good...

I don't understand driving 3 hours for less than an hour of blackjack. Also the deck can't hold its count on a full table... it should massively swing every round with 7 people taking cards. I just don't see how you could be an AP player under these conditions p.s. I"m new so maybe I'm...

Ok thanks for the clarification. I understand that you'd prefer to count heads up or at a smaller table vs. the dealer. The only wayI can see that as a possibility with a 1k bank roll is to either play with an extremely high RoR to have a high enough min to keep the table down, or to wait...

Thanks for the input guys. So to clarify "Kelly" is just a strategy to minimize your RoR but at the cost of lowering your EV as you lower your bets according to your Bankroll? That sounds like if you continually used Kelly, you'd just ruin your EV, because you'd never consistently bet enough...

Hey, I've been trolling on these boards for a week or so now didn't want to ask any questions that have already been answered, but I'm sure I will anyways. Been playing BJ for a couple years now, but only recently fully mastered BS. I've read up on Hi-Lo and feel fairly comfortable with that...
