I have been bplaying BJ using hi-low count in AC since last march (04)when I was laid off. I play at low betting levels $25 table with a very small spead of 1-5. I just went over 1000 hours and have shown a profit of $18,600. My question is this. Since I play at all 6 and 8 deck games and have read numerous times that you need a larger spread than I have to beat them, Have I just been lucky or can you win with a smaller spread such as I am using (oviously winning less than with a larger spread) I like using a small spread because I attract no heat what=so-ever.
