whats wrong is that he says to count the high cards as +1 and the low cards as -1 and to raise your bet when the count is high and lower your bet when the count is low. Hopefully they realize this or some people could be loosing a lot of money if they follow this advice. pretty funny though.Dyepaintball12 said:
yea but he also said to raise your bet when the count is HIGH. So he is saying to raise your bet when the shoe is depleted in Tens and Aces. Thats the problem. Its fine to count backward but then you should be raising your bet when the count is LOW.Dyepaintball12 said:
You know what, no more so than all the counters that read Mezrichs books and fell in love with the false romantic notion of card counting. Some were motivated by his books to actually invest in some real card counting books and internet material and give it a real try. The majority though just learned enough from those mostly ficticious books to falsely think they had a handle on counting and faded away pretty quickly. I believe that this will be the same. Some will want to learn more by getting an interest sparked by the movie, the rest will try it for a bit, lose and go away. I personally don't think the movie is going to be that popular anyway. Aside from the blackjack community there is no real buzz about the movie, and its release I believe is only a month away.Canceler said:
If the shoe is viewed from the perspective of what remains, then it's right to count the highs as +1 and lows as -1. When a low is removed the count changes by -(-1)=+1. When a high is removed count changes by -(+1)=-1. If there are 20 highs and 16 lows remaining in a single deck, running count = +4 (20-16). That's the same thing as tagging the lows as +1 because as they are removed count goes up by 1.Dyepaintball12 said:
