Yes. I admit I took risks on the way through it but I took advantages too. From my previous threads, you can notice that I started my counting sessions with ONLY a fixed bankroll $500 dollars. I took the advice from everyone here and rely on the short run comings to get me started. Now my...

Yeah. In the long run, I might lose everything I have, but maybe it comes to that decision that in the shortrun I MIGHT get lucky for a good start. If I can happen to get to that point, I can start kelly betting from there for a long run profit. Again, I have to consider that luck has to be on...

Ok. I'm planning on advancing into a higher stakes level but I need more advice. Again, I thank everyone here for great information. Each of my sessions, other than one, have been successful. I come back home with around $150-$300 from 6-8 hour sessions playing single and double deck games...

Thanks for all the help guys! I sent you a PM jimbiggs.

Ok. My mistake BJ pays 3-2. I just figured out it paid 2-1 that week. My lucky times I should say. :)

Yes. It does pay 2-1 blackjack and it even says on the table and on the pay I get back. I'm not sure if its a promotion, but from the times I go there it pays that much. P.S. Is that riverside county casino you're talking about called Soboba? If so, how are the table conditions there? Have...

There are other things that might give you off as a counter other than ridiculous playing variations such as betting techniques and body langauge. Other than those, you might of clicked them off to keep an eye on u from other things than a play like that. Other than that, I'm curious to as...

Any count system would be fine for multi-deck games. If there is a significant difference, it would mathematically be very slim. I've been counting 8D shoes with hi/lo in indian casinos you should check out my review: http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bb/showthread.php?t=3081 Keep in mind that...

1 might be a rough estimate of what the house advantage might be. Again, depends on the table conditions too. If there are very rare opportunities of advantage situations, perhaps the house has a very significant edge over the players and its probably not a good game to start with in the first...

Thats a bold statement. The house still has its significant edge so I wouldn't necessarily call it a keeper. Keep in mind it is an 8D shoe. With 8 decks, bad flux is prone to happen and with a fixed bankroll, you're hopes for it to compensate is by luck. True that BJ pays 2 to 1 which is a...

Ok. I've been doing very well first few times wonging in/out of tables at Morongo. With a fixed bankroll of 500 dollars, I've won 300 altogether out of a few hour sessions in one week. My streaks and winnings were fair but I seemed to have picked up alot of experience. Here are a few things...

From what I believe, subtracting one will factor in the built in advantage the house has over you. The advantage may vary depending on the table conditions, penetration, and rules.

Enough to cover for your loses from bad flux. It also depends on your betting spread and stragedy. I'm starting my first trip with $1000 dollars at 5$ minimum giving me 200 units to play with. This may not seem very ideal to others because of the loss I might endure in the short-run but it is...

I'm going with the hi/lo lite for now and considering other forms of counting such as KO or Red Seven later. Until I master hi/lo counts, I might move onto unbalanced counts. At the moment I can't keep negative counts in my head for too long until my brain explodes. As for true counts, I use...

But for hi/lo don't you need to divide the running count to the number of 1/2 decks? For example, I have a running count of +2 and 2 decks are dealt in a 6D game leaving me with 4 decks. So would I need to divide the count by 8(2x4) giving me true count of 1/4?
