Thanks for all of the great years! I have learned so much here.

Sorry about the error. I don't play craps and my roommate neglected to point out this detail.The way he explained it made it seem like we could always get 50% of the coupon no matter what. Would you check my math on the following EV calculations, I think craps is only marginally worse. EV for...

I will admit that I have only looked at the screen shots and have not downloaded or tried your program. With that said, I only checked out the link because it was an open source blackjack trainer. I really only run linux, or about 95% of the time I have linux booted. I really wish there were...

At a local casino they are having a special promo where if you play for two hours, any game, you can receive two match play coupons worth $25 each. My roommate and I play enough poker and AP blackjack to get two coupons every day that we go to the casino. I'm pretty sure the coupons only pay...

Here is an interesting slashdot news article on casino security...some of the comments are interesting...the site with the main article might be down from being 'slashdotted' I think there is another link in the comments section. http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/11/1616220&from=rss

I worked at a hotel (a holiday inn in kansas city) for a while and you can pay cash for your room and not put down a credit card but if you want to charge your meal (room service) to your room or anything else you can't. If you do want room service, movies or whatever you can probably put down...

The wizard of odds site has a really good description of the game and payout table. Here's the link http://wizardofodds.com/floppoker. The best thing I can come up with is using this extra piece of information to calculate something similar to pot odds (but based on the payout table) so you...

While wondering around a casino I frequent tonight, I spotted a dealer the flashes one of their three hole cards in Flop poker about %75 of the time. Can I have an edge over the house playing with that dealer? If so how do I go about figuring a basic hole card strategy for this game?

Full Kelly For someone that is only wonging in when the player has the advantage, how should you size your bets? Should you use full kelly or still use a fractional kelly? Theoretically, you shouldn't go broke using full kelly by only betting when you have an advantage over the house. How do...

Ok, I guess the general consensus is to play it by ear. The pen is consistently good with only a few dealers that I avoid. Depending on the time/day finding another table isn't that big of a deal. I was just curious if it quantifiable (like everything else in blackjack). With all considered...

Yes, I agree. When I do wong out it is usually at the one deck mark. I was just looking for some numbers and what not. I would hate to wong out at a nominal negative count and miss an edge at the end. Some sim data would be nice.

A while ago, AM posted some charts on how far to back count into a 6 deck shoe and at what point should you go find a new table to back count. My question is kinda the reverse. Lets assume a 1-7 spread play all DD with good to deep pen, H17, DA2, DAS, no mid-shoe (once you are out, you are out...
