Hi I'm a new poster here but i have been lurking for a while.
I have a few questions that I wan't to ask you.
I have been practicing blackjack since january of 08, I have played with friends and we want to start a team. I have read Black Belt In Blackjack and Professional Blackjack. I use the hi-lo with close to perfect basic strategy and can count a deck in less than 40 secs, but I dont know many indexes yet.
I have been practicing cutting 6 decks aiming to cut 5 decks and on avarage I know where I cut with an error margin of 1 card.
At a local place I have VERY poor playing conditions if you are a counter. The rules are:
No hole card. Dealer wins ties except for BJ and 21. Doubling is allowed on 9,10 and 11. DD only once, no DAS. Insurance is offered, but you can't split or double an insured hand. No surrender. Penetration varies a bit from 70-85%. Min bet is 2 max bet is 10 (on a good day it can be raised to 20). They dont have authority to kick counters. Payout with these rules seems to be around 90%
according to a source.
My favourite part is the shuffle, I will try to explain it. Unused cards get spread out in chunks in the played cards. Cards get cut into 2 piles. Dealer grabs a chunk of 26 cards from each pile, these get shuffled so that you now have one deck, 60% of this deck is cut aside and the remaining 40% gets slapped ontop of one of the big piles(alternating each time). The procedure is repeated until all cards are in one big pile (6 decks). The player can cut. The back card is not usually covered.
Now for the questions
I assume that there's no possibility of beating this game with counting, am i right?
This game is very vulnerable for advanced techniques?
Is it possible/worthwhile to play with a team bankroll of 2500€, house edge 99,7% min 5€ bets max 60€, 6 deck fair penetration?
What is the best resource for advanced techniques(please pm if its too sensitive information for public boards)?
I have heard about something called SCORE, what is it?
I think thats it for now.
