will be there from tomorrow until 1/09

Alright, let me amend that. It's good for beginning counters. For counters who can keep up it's not too tough to find an empty table and ramp up the speed, too. Personally though I still think the game is too tough to beat. Eight decks is a hell of a defecit.

New dealers are your friend. The idea is to look for a new or sloppy dealer who isn't as good at handling the cards, maybe they'll bend them up further. There's also the ace for 4 mistake, where a dealer will give a player a "tell" by checking a card twice or doing a little double take, if they...

It's more about physically seeing what the cards are by the warped corners, from what I understand. Shad - It's quite possible he's right, This was the first time I've been there since they've pulled the mirrors and if someone's found a way to beat TS then that's great news for me. I'll check...

They check under 10s, and when I was at the tournament there yesterday there was a considerable amount of warping on the cards, it was mainly in the middle but if you got an inexperienced dealer there you could probably catch a decent amount of cards, the sheer bend in them surprised me very...

In a bit of interesting news that makes the game at TS slightly more playable. I was there and saw that they pulled out the hole card mirrors, so now all the dealers pull up the corners to peek at the hole card. This is leading to some fairly warped cards. Something to keep in mind when picking...

I thought for sure.... that with a name like that JoeP would be involved :)

not really beginners luck, just luck unfortunatly that's how casinos get their money back. Someone walks in and wins a ton semi-consistently and thinks they can do it everytime, then they give it all back. You just experienced a positive upswing coupled with overbetting your bankroll which made...

I have CVBJ version 3 and have noticed that it has a few bugs in it (especially in tournament play.) I was wondering if anyone upgraded from V3 to V4 and how it stacks up, is it worth the $35 upgrade? Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

the post wasn't directed at you, Mike, as you accuratly described the reason that it doesn't work, but it's just the blanket "betting systems never work" post prior to yours that irked me a little. Though I seriously do think that we should stick some sort of cautionary message on the board...

I agree, but.... this is a betting system forum. The people who are more educated in BlackJack know that betting systems don't work, so I propose that we either: A: Close this forum down so as to not mis-lead players who aren't as well educated. B: Change this to a tournament betting...

a friend of mine uses it And she does pretty well with shoes. It's a good system and I think you'll do just fine with it, go for it.

your thinking is very flawed in this respect. first of all, if you were to pull in 10K over 16 hours, by card counting, you would need an ASTRONOMICAL bankroll to pull it off, somewhere in the realm of $200,000. you would also need to be playing with (about, I may be off on the math) $500...

as black dog said, no, not unless you are cheating, matter of fact, I'm pretty sure it's illegal for them to withhold your chips unless you were cheating, so if they did so you may consider it in your best intrest to seek legal action. This leads me to another thing I should probably mention...

they'd definitly put the eye on you they would probably wait to see a pattern before throwing you out. Then, depending on what they found out they would either: a: throw you out, either if they found you counting or were suspicious in some other way that you were playing to an advantage...
