LOL :) >I have never eaten at the GS, but from what I understand, the Department of Homeland Security is monitoring its food as a possible weapon of mass destruction. LOL:) This is really funny.

Canadian, decent BJ? Congrats on your winnings. But I disagree on the game you call decent. It's 8 decks, no surrender, cut 2.5 to 3 decks. Even the VIP room with 6 decks, no surrender, pen 1.5 to 2 is lousy. You'd need a large BR, just to survive.

What about MP21? How can Flamingo receives a "C" when they had MP21 installed awhile ago? Otherwise fun to read. Great post.

Even not same as Insure in 6:5 Let's say you bet $5. Dealer shows A, you have BJ. If you are allowed to take even money, you get $5 profit. Now instead of yelling 'even money', you insure your BJ, ie put $2.5 on the table to buy insurance. a) If dealer has BJ, you push your hand of BJ, but get...

2-1 coupon Let's say you bet $10 per hand and play until you get the snapper. On average, you get BJ once every 21 rounds, so you have played around 20 hands at a BS house edge which is approximately .5%. 20 hands * $10 = $200 wagered, which translated to a loss of $1.00 (-0.5%), but since you...

2-1 player's edge? What's the player's edge flat betting 2-1 and playing BS? It's strange that the casino would tolerate counters like you described. The idea of promo is to attract ploppies of course not counters.

Yep! He is my neighbor ... ... Here in Canada! Rob, Get well soon!

Very enlightening reading ... You seem to be very observative. And the way you describe, IMO, the job does not suit you. Your job tour description make me remembering my first job in the big city. It's tough to get started. But I beleive your turn will come. Wish you good luck in the future.

Hey, RyGuy Glad you join the club. My situation is similar to yours, except that I'm here in the eastern Canada. There is no good game here for me to play, it's all 8 decks and cut 2.5-3. You can only win with excessive wonging and spread 1-40 (would require a huge bankroll though). Like you...

Soft 18 is one of Ploppy BS. Soft 18 is a play that teaches me a lot about ploppies. These people don't play BJ with logic, they play with their emotion amd feelings. I once teaches a friend of mine about the play, and at first she follow BS properly but then again and again she stop hitting...

Re: Simple Answer: BE and PE For any card counting system be it HiLo, KO, Uston APC or Wong Halves, there is 2 numbers associated with it, namely BE and PE, which refers to, for that particular counting system, how efficient you are betting (your money) and how efficient you are playing your...

What about 9,8,... Like SB, I knew we had an advantage on 10, but didn't know how much exactly. What about 9 or even 8? I don't think there is any advantage on 8?

Advantageplayer.com has a new Roulette section hosted by Laurance Scott. He claims that training his way can reach 20% edge over the house! If this is true (even close to true), playing roulette is way better than 1-2% edge in BJ?

Re: S17 vs H17 Calculator on Casino Verite web site has the following results in SCORE: - 6D, S17, DAS, LS, fair pen (78 cards). Spread 12, play Hi-lo I18 & F4 SCORE=30.67 and N0=32656 - 6D, H17, DAS, LS, good pen (52 cards). Spread 12, play Hi-lo I18 & F4 SCORE=36.25 and N0=27531 Of course...

Actually the probability of this happening is alittle more due to the fact that Spanish 21 is dealt out of a deck without 10s. Following your numbers: first 7 (any): 24/288 second 7 (same suit): 5/287 third 7 (same suit): 4/286 dealer 7 (any): 21/285 one hand out of...
