Is there a strategy for Macau game?

[Asia BlkJk]

Hello All, I'm a noob here. I play at the new Wynn casino in Macau. They use a 6 deck electronic shuffling machine. The dealer puts the used cards back in the machine after every hand.

I'm not sure if there is a simple answer to this, but my question is:
Is there a betting strategy (I'm not going to try and count cards against the machine), or am I stuck having to bet flat every hand?

Many thanks and happy to be part of your community.

Yes the progression goes like this:

1.Bet 0 units.
2. Goto step 1.

ABJ i would say give up blackjack and learn to play baccarat or craps. That BJ game is a loser.

Get Max Rubins "Comp City" and play for comps. Comp counting can give you a much higher advantage than card counting ever could.

From My experence playing in Macau and from talking to a few people that play there unless you are playing white or higher it would be easier to try to pull teeth from a pit bull than get comps from these guys.

Last time I played there it was $500.00 but that was 18 months ago.

THIS was the winning answer. He should start with comp-counting and then look for more opptys since CCing is out. zg

Look inside Comp City

So that's all that's left - Baccarat or Comps???

No craps in macau (yet, maybe never). So that's what the mechanical shuffle machines leave us with? Playing a game other than bj, or hoping for freebies from the casinos? Neither of those choices is very appealing. What a lousy way to be...

I play at Star city in Australia and have the same problem, 6 decks and CSMs, I use basic strategy and progressive betting, so far it has proven to be successful, I either come out in front by $100-200 or break even, if anything using the BS will minimize losses and using the progrossion allows you to take advantage of streaks, as soon as you lose a bet return to the minimum and start again.

Here is how the progression works ..

$10 (10-10-15-15-20-20-30-30-50-50-70-70-100-100)

$15 (15-15-25-25-30-30-45-45-75-75-105-105-150-150)

$20 (20-20-30-30-40-40-60-60-100-100-140-140-200-200)

The CSM BJ is STILL BETTER than Bac. BUT your first entry into AP could be comp-counting. zg
