Interesting Im glad someone brought this up. I did another scouting mission at a casino just 15 mins outside of town. It was a very small casino at a local truck stop. It only had 2 BJ tables. Anyways, I noticed a guy doubling on 12. I thought it was odd especially when he hit an 8. Now heres...

Thanks everyone for the tips and advice!

Is it a good idea to split 10s in Tournament play with single decks?

I practice my BS and Counting on CVBJ. Occasionally I will use a deck of cards to practice my counting if Im not able to be in front of my computer. I do fairly well during the simulations. I probably count around 20 to 25 secs for a deck. Now I know many of you have said 15 secs is probably...

Thanks

I dont think they actually "flip" the cards over. I think you start with a full deck face up and just shuffle the cards (single cards to pairs to 3 or even 4 cards at a time) in to your other hands with your thumb thats holding the deck. Is that right guys? Cyrano - I thought there is a...

Panthercounter - are you using the Preferred Strategy or the Full KO Strategy?

Re: To each their own Thanks RC. You pointed it out to me - "quick mental math" Im sure with practice and time the true count conversion of Hi Lo would come without even thinking about it. But for now its not that way. I will focus on KO. And yes Im basically doing this because its fun and...

Thanks. When your cousin plays the single and double decks are the cards held in each players hand? Im guessing these games are refered to as pitch games where the dealer "pitches" the card to the player and they pick them off the table. How does he count - counts after all the cards are placed...

Ive been trying to read as much as I can and reviewing the search results between the two counting strategies. I saw that post about how KO under estimates in the beginning and over estimates late in the deck and how Hi-Lo seems to be more accurate through out the deck. Also the indexes between...

After converting your running count to the true count in the Hi/Lo system, do continue counting cards by starting off with the true count or the original running count? Thanks

Yes it does thank you. I guess basically .4 and .6 is the average advantage the house has in that type of game - H17 or S17. And preferably you want a game where the average advantage is the lowest for the house. Got it. I think. Hehehe thank you.

I've noticed from what Ive been reading that on a 6D, DOA, DAS the difference in advantage between H17 and S17 is about -.20. Roughly -.60 and -.40 respectively. When playing a H17 game is the advantage basically -.40 throughout the entire game until the point when the dealer actually has A,6...
