Greetings! I use BS. I notice that holding 11 vs. an Ace, and the dealer does not declare a BJ, me thinks the strategy would be to double down since the best hand the dealer coud have is a count of 20. Is this correct? Thanx!!

double exposure bj ties push There's an Indian casino in Oklahoma offering double exposure from 10am-3pm Monday through Friday with no alterations to normal play. 6 deck CSM, tie is a push(not a loss), blackjack pays 3:2, double any 2 cards, double after split, etc. About a 7.1% player...

The secret to getting rich at blackjack Bet more on the winning hands.

I've recently read Knock-Out blackjack and want to incorporate the counting scheme. Unless I missed it the book doesn't state when to split tens, double on A8 etc. Does anyone know what count I should use when doing the above when starting at an IRC of -20(6 desks,DAS,H17)?

Thanks for the info n/t.

Is there a betting strategy for the high low count?

Are books by Richard Harvey(Cutting edge blackjack and Blackjack the smartway) legitimate sources of information? Thanks in advance.

Thank you, very helpful information.The wizardoffodds table gives an idea, that players 17 vs. dealers stiff hands could turn to a "winning hand" if TC is positive.

I posted this question on another board, but received not the answer, I was looking for. In BJ, there are many hands, called losing hands(hands, where the probability of winning is less than 50%). I want to know, which of these hands change into winning hands(probability of winning more than...

to Coug Fan: a few questions Coug Fan, What casino did you see that in? Was the max bet for the LL bet the same as table maximum or something lower? This makes the LL bet a whole 'nother matter if the bj bet doesn't have to match the LL bet. (Seeing $$ in his head). Now I just have to hope...

start playing goof ball blackjack I was playing with a friend at a very fun casino in biloxi, he was at third base, I was at first base and we had a couple of sour grapes who were nagging us about our play, I don't rememeber the exact infraction, but I just pretended like I had no idea what...

you could bet more than TC X 1 unit on the LL Mayor, I used a bet size of TC X 1 U for both the blackjack bet and the LL bet based on the rule that you cannot bet more on the LL bet than on the blackjack bet, and wishing to optimize he blackjack Ev. I think, though, that you could bet more on...

Re: Royal Match, anyone? Zen, There are two options for counting this game, count all the suits and keep a side count of the Q and K. Here is a simpler "rule of thumb". Assuming that you are not "side counting" the Q and K and are going to assume that they have a 52 card distribution...

observations on panama rick's findings Hello Friends, I did some quick calculations on panama rick's findings. I was interested in what the aggregate effect of the lucky ladies side bet is on the game assuming you only make this bet when it is a positive expectation. The lucky ladies bet as a...

I read an article a few years ago, not sure where I saw it, that discussed two hand wonging. Its premise was basically this: figure out your bet at TC = 2 based on your expectation and bankroll, then multiply that bet by 1.3 and divide that by 2 to get your per hand bet size with TC = 2, for any...
