    California Hotel & Casino

    Double deck, they give you the cards upside down. Took a brief moment for me to learn a good way to count, but I figured it out for me. Especially since ppl get their cards flipped over for winning side bet or doubling down or splitting but then the next card on double down remains...

    Question for seasoned profitting Black Jack players (2 deck or 6 deck?)

    Do all you players that have lifetime winnings stick to 2 deck only, or do you play a good amount of 6 deck? My local casino here in %#$^& only has 6 deck. So, no option except to travel 3 hours on the weekends to play 2 deck if I wanted. Am I good with attempting to play a winning game on my...

    This year is different!

    Started my career last year. I swear, high counts were just plain stupid, the crap that went on. This year....more of the same? Well, I played (2) hands at $50 each last night. I got A,A on first hand, and blackjack on second hand. Dealer shows 2 card. I split A's....get another A with BOTH...

    Reason why this is a great, unique time for card counters!!!!

    Here is the main reason: Tables (at least where I play) are limited to 3 people. At any time...you can go from playing 1 hand to playing 2 hands!!! This is historic! Usually I got someone on both sides of me, cock-blocking me from playing 2 hands. Not anymore!!!!!! Even though my max bet is...

    The fun of the beginning stages of a (hopefully) career

    I want to play blackjack as a hobby for the rest of my life. I have decided not to attempt to "get rich" but I want to make, eventually, $20/hr enjoying myself with this hobby. But, as I am at the beginning of my career, I am getting my ARSE kicked in the high count on my blackjacks vs dealer's...

    Team of 2 probably not worth it for red chippers...

    What would be the point of a team of two at red chip level? Could be for a little cover...but...if you are flat betting....either you raise anyways when it is time to...or the teammate comes in and bets big...but you are still flat betting? Except to create cover, that serves no purpose, right?

    Do you appreciate Black Jack Apprenticeship?

    The good...it is what turned me on to the game. The really bad... ....it is attempting to create thousands of card counters!!!!!!! Too many could eventually cause rule changes to make things even worse for counters! 6 to 5 blackjack would wipe every counter out. Continuous shuffler would be...

    Black Jack apprenticeship standard rules

    Standard Rules: 6 decks, H17, DAS, RSA 1.5 pen, avoiding counts below true -1. My local casino does not have RSA. How big of a deal is that? I would think it is a pretty big deal. https://www.blackjackapprenticeship.com/recommended-blackjack-bankroll/#rules

    Blackjack Verite Game

    I bought the Blackjack Verite game for android...starting with a $5,000 bank roll...It has my bet spread at $10, $25, $50, $75. So far, I have turned the $5,000 into $5,895. Is this game fairly accurate as to what I should expect in real life? I am betting the following: +0 = $10 +1 = $10 +2...

    Losing game. +0 count

    The blackjack simulator i run shows a bet spread of 10 to be something like the following: +0 0 units +1 1 unit +2 3 units +3 5 units +4 7 units etc. Why is +0 0 units? is that realistic? if you start a shoe, isn't it 0? Right now, when i put 1 unit at +0, it shows a losing game!
