A couple of possibilities There are a few possibilities but the ones that come to mind are: 1) You have a SD or even a DD game dealt deeply and the running count is -2 with 8 cards remaining. For illustration, let us say that are using HiOptII with quarter deck resolution. The TC is -8...

Isn't TI the New Frontier or the New Binions of the Strip? I have played TI HL before and what a nasty sweatshop they are. An unfortunate case where MGM selling off a property has degraded the games atleast heatwise. I wish I can laugh at such hands! Wait a sec..I would rather not have such...

Not to mention Not to mention questionable ways of dealing pitch games. Whether they were cheating in that instance, I would never know but it pays to be "extra careful" at all the Native Indian Casinos. When a lot of negative variance is concentrated in Native Indian casinos, it could be...

A tensplitter talking about cover Iinteresting :-)

Vegas is a tough place to start counting Vegas is a tough place to learn your art. You would be better off learning and practicing on a computer, home, local casinos rather than try it out there. Even if you are not a threat immediately, they might mark you ( I am not saying they would) as they...

Nothing special at Northern Lights The games are nothing special- they have a couple of tables and the limits are $10-$100 I think. They might change it to $25-$200 which limits your spread considerably. regards Waugh

Snyder's strategy Snyder's strategy is at his site blackjackforumonline.com The site is almost inactive but the BJ library is a treasure which is where you will find it. Regards Waugh

Where is this game offered? If offered in Vegas,would you name the casino? I have CBJN but it does not seem to have the info. regards Waugh

Snyder's rules for switching and any decent count I am wondering if we can use Snyder's strategy for switching and use any decent counting for betting an playing decisions. Auto Monkey-would you be able to post or mail me the tags and strategy charts? Callipygian-Please post yours if you...

Any pointers for EORs and atleast an approximate system? Any pointers for the EORs and a good or atleast an approximate system to beat this? Regards Waugh

Forget cover At the betting limits $5-$25, you can forget cover. In fact, with a 1-5 spread, it is unlikely to be a winning game unless you are playing SD or well cut DD. My advice is , reevaluate your bankroll and consequently spread much higher (after practice ofcourse). With a max bet of...

Any BJ worthwhile playing in LA and surrounding areas, including Palm Springs and San Diego? I have CBJN but would appreciate a PM or private email. What about NEvada other than Vegas, Reno and Wendover? regards Waugh

How much did you and your guys take it for? MAZ, Congrats on your win! As a ballpark, can you provide an estimate of how much you and your friends took Reno for? regards Waugh

What next? An entry fee to casinos on the verge of bankruptcy? What next? An entry fee to casinos on the verge of bankruptcy? That would be the icing ! If any, such measures should speed the demise of the casinos that have become a joke. Even looking at other poorly run but relatively better...

If they changed their ways Shadroch: I meant that as a compliment IF they change their ways and deal a 3:2 SD and DOA BJ game. They have spiralled downwards and deserve to be where they are now. waugh

Doesn't help that they harass patrons Binions- They used to deal a decent SD game. The rules (while I was there) was changed to D10 instead of DOA. THe watch the bets closely and do not allow more than 3 times the previous bet.(They forced me to reduce my bet and the dealer got a BJ haha). I...

Awesome post This is one of the most enjoyable post on couponomy that I have ever read.In fact this post is so popular that it is being forwarded a lot.I had read it before but did not know that it was Zengrifter's post. Which year was this and how did the decline in couponomy start...

WIth Ace showing With a 6 Showing and surplus aces remaining, you might actually have your big bets out and the Ace in the hole might kill you sometimes. But that is something we have to live with. On a related note: With an Ace showing, the dealer busts more often in a S17 game as...

Large spread Yes, if the table min is $10 and if you can spread 2*10-2*150 without heat, you should not worry too much about wonging out. It depends on the number of other players-if it is a full table, play 1 hand on negative counts but keep 2 spots for you. If it is heads up, play 2 hands at...
