Ya man, your bankroll is the amount of money you want to commit only to blackjack and you would not have a heart attack if you happened to lose it. Then depending on the size of your bankroll you choose the table stakes that are right for you.

Ive never thought about that. Can you take insurance if you have blackjack and the dealer is showing an ace? And do you mean that if you do you take even money? That would be sweet if you could take insurance because thats basically 90% chance of winning half of your original bet.

I agree completely. I am just learning at the moment but all of those seem true. I would probably also add 6.People probably bet too big for their bankroll And I would think the most important is that 7.People think that you are supposed to win every time you card count and they...

Anyone have some good rules on splitting tens? Basic strategy tells you its always a bad idea but are there times where the true count is so high and the dealers up card is so low that it would be a good idea?

I have been looking over the Blackjackincolor.com which has a lot of great stats pages and graphs but one page confuses me... http://www.blackjackincolor.com/truecount5.htm Are these Win/Lose percentages right? If so how are counters supposed to overcome the odds if this page is saying...

See but isnt that the point of card counting, to know the probability of what the NEXT card is going to be? Like say the true count was plus 6 That means the next card has a better chance of being a high card than if the true count was 0. And say the player in seat one gets a high card (10-A)...

Hi, I looked at the chart above and im somewhat confused. I believe that the chart is trying to say that the 3rd seat is slightly better because AFTER your cards are delt and the people in front of you are done hitting and splitting you now have a slight advantage in the fact that you saw more...

Really 5,000$ - 8,000$ for a 5 dollar table? Ive read multiple places that you need at least 100X the table minimum which would be 500 and I can see an argument that you should have about 2,000$ but 5,000$ sounds a bit extreme. I am just starting to learn though and you are right about how...
