Ok, so I got out tonight and observed the spot where I would come to play at in the future. First of, some pointers;
I Live in sweden, where there is a gaming monopoly.
These rules apllies to all of those little casinos, except the big ones (where the age limit is 21) : min bet: 2$, max bet: 6$.

***(These values are rounded down, I just took those values because it would be easier to calculate)***

Anyway, I didn't think this game had a +EV. But I got unsure.
The penetration was great, and the rules decent:

85-90 % penetration , DAS, Double on any, Insurance, Dealer stand S17, No surrender, 6 decks.

And the betting restriction only applies to one hand. So if you want, you could bet max bet on max 9 hands.

Another important thing. Wonging is completly doable, you can wong out and wong in at any time, backcounting is completly free to do aswell. There is no suspession whatsoever. I consider wonging a must in this game. This will mean that I only play positive true counts.

So now Im wondering, has this game a EV+? Can I make a profit from this?

does this game have a +EV? Yes
Can I make profit from this? Yes, about $4 an hour. The $6 max kills the game. If the game had a reasonable max bet it would be an EXCELLENT game.

Let me see if I got this straight:

So you could make a min bet in negative counts of 2$ and a MaxBet in positive counts of up to 6$ on nine different hands?(54$) 1:27

Also, are there any restrictions when playing two hands. Meaning can you play two or three hands of 2$?

If you get 90% penetration on a 6 deck that = 280/312 dealt out before cut card so 32 cards behind cut card.

If you played 9 spots + a dealer = 10 spots.

It would be pretty possible to run them out of cards :laugh:

Even better: When there is a negative count, your bet is 0 $. Meaning you will only play at an advantage. But yes, you could play two or three hands of 2 $.

Yep, the table has 9 spots. There was this guy who bet max at every spot, 5 times in a row. He talked in the phone while playing and never gave a damn about what happnened.


Im very sure that the penetration was about 85-90 %.


Is it true what mjbballar23 said? is the EV 4$ and not higher? Even when only playing when TC = positive?

Well technically, you could have up to a 1:27 spread w/85% pen with decent rules.

I personally think this game is definetly beatable. Of course everything depends on how much you wong w/ the # of players at the table.

I wouldnt wong in w/ a full table however. I would make sure I could at least play 2 spots.

I think this is a good question for sonny. Sonny where are ya?

If you do decide to play it, make sure you let us know how you did.

Well the tables are never full, and ofc I must have at least two spots.
I thank you very much for your opinion and tip!

But I'd like to have some more in order to be sure to play at it.

It is criminal that the nation or a company is allowed to offer this game! It is not gambling it is theft!
