Like the title says, I’m new here, is there a few forum specific things I should know.

I get touting my “new system” for Martingale 2.0 isn’t a good idea, and my love of sticking to basic strategy isn’t shared by many,... but is there a sticky somewhere I’m missing that can give me a cypher for some of the shorthand on here? Are there some good posts to make sure to check out?

Is there a good way to introduce myself to AA the forum so as to not be beaten about the head and neck?

your new here and what should you know? just know if you have an average bankroll you will lose, if you have an average counting system you will lose, and if your not using a 1-20 spread your just breakin even ask any AP on this site they laugh anyone using a 1-8 or 1-12 just buy cvcx amd cvbj everyone seems to agree with the norm, Kool jay may help you his stories are a true testament of a story of a man who quit his day job and never looked back im sure if anyone can help you get started he can hes better than any book or software you can get your hands on but if i were you id run a few good sims, that will show you you COULD lose 50-100 max bets and read the men card counters from the past on this site on how they had it so bad and lost their bankrolls consisting of 4k and upwards of that

Hopefully, other replies you will get will be more intelligent, more realistic, and less pessimistic than the one you received as a first response. People who judge what others may or may not be able to achieve while playing this game, based solely on their own personal experiences, don't help a beginner to understand what he needs to know.

My suggestion: lurk for a while. Read the archives and older posts on topics that interest you. Read some decent books. Form opinions based on remarks from established posters whose judgment you will learn to trust. In general, ignore all the hysterics. They're almost always from losing whiners who want you to feel their pain.

Sid if you ever try back counting again next time make your bets when the TC is positive instead of negative.

Sid other than my previous post all I can think of is when you count cards the tens, jacks, queens, kings, and aces are not to be counted as +1.

if you were a real counter then you would know you can still lose and lose big back counting, just because the count is high does not mean you will win cash on this shoe.

there was a post on here one guy said he was up 330+ units from back counting now he says hes down 400 or so units from back counting in Sands casino or Parx

i was not fortunate to win 330 units nor was i unfortunate to lose 400 units and for the record i was using the Klll count (yes unbalanced but still powerful it matches the hi lo back counting should not have an issue getting the edge) but alas i lost on positive shoes like all the counters from yesteryear
