card counting isn't outright cheating. They still ban people for that in LV.

And Zender is in the business of helping the casino to do what exactly again??? Game protection conference. I think the casino are not worry about cheaters compare with worrying about advantage players.

WRX, I agree with you, but the thing is...it is commonly know that casinos don't like players that has an edge over the house. So if we get slopping dealers and the players gets the info inadvertently. Then as players, what should we do?? especially, there is nothing that says we can not...

I would like to know, how do people practice shuffle tracking. I mean getting good at it physically vs using shuffle software for sim practice. This is not to say that CVshuffle is not a useful aid, but supposedly you can map out a shuffle, do you practice with a friend. Also, what if you...

whats more tedious, playing the slots, or playing video poker??

there is something i don't get about the scenario that Zender paints. Okay, i saw youtube video where zender gets interviewed on the program, call "ask the casino guy". I might have gotten the title of the program slightly wronged. But..anyways....zender was showing about how ace tracking is...

@tribute There are different articles written about Slots, acadmeic wise i mean.

but if you do decide to tip, how much are you suppose to tip?? is it a percentages of your winnings, or is it the percentage of what you are taking away from the table at the end of a session at the table regardless of whether you have won or lost.

@Gramazeka i have read a few of those articles, but i doubt it will help in practice. for one thing, what the OP was talking about is asking for something practical, not something so theoretical as any of those articles discusses. P. Diaconis. is a great statistician but his purpose...

if you jump the bet up that high that quickly in normal games, would you get heat for it. I guess Bondy3 can get away with it because he did it within a 6 hand, but under any other circumstances, would you not need to raise up on a steady pace to 2*600 units.

Guys, I am practicing at home using an unbalanced system. I assume the principle is suppose to be the same. i understand that when the count is high, there is an increase probability that the high cards will come out, etc. but i want to make sure i understand how to follow it through with...

Sonny, i am confused then, so when people say that you are suppose to increase your bet when the count is high, does that mean when it is on an increase. What happens when it stops increasing or decreasing for like a few hands then decreases. When it steadies out for awhile, you stop...

I think what everyone is saying, from myself who have read the mathematical theory behind blackjack is that your action is not the best one that you could have taken from a mathematical point of view. Hence in practice what occurred was simply a statistical variance. Or in common parlance, you...

you should ask if someone can run a sim for you on cvdata. I just got the two cv sim software, so i am not the person to ask to do it for you, since i am still learning how to use them properly. :) I am sure someone on the forum can run it for you. Just specific, how many players you plan to...

you can't do card counting with that uses a CSM to shuffle cards.

the key counts and its relation to the running count are as follows: for 1 deck, IRC : 0, key count: 2 for 2 deck, IRC : -4, key count: 1 for 6 deck, IRC : -20, key count: -4 for 8 deck, IRC : -28, key count: -6

i think in many ontario casinos, at least the resort ones, they don't allow mid shoe entry. :(

well on trying out CV Blackjack 5.0 with the KO full, i don't feel like my bankroll of 1000 increases much at all using a 1-5 spread with 5 dollars being the min bet. I keep increasing from 1 to 5 long before the count gets anywhere near the pivot point. The sim session i was having is a 6d...
