Hello, I recently started my card counting venture with a $50,000 bankroll. I read Wong’s book and can count very well. I use his optimal bet formula (%advatage x .8 x bankroll), play good games (either double deck and only S17 six deck games). Using Wong’s formula, my bets are as follows:
0-1$25
+2 $200
+3 $300
+ 4 $400
I only increase a bet slowly. So I’ll go from $25 to $75 to $150, etc. my spread is basically 16 at the highest counts.
The VERY FIRST day of counting, I sit down at at 2 deck $10 minimum table and only spread to $50. As soon as I bet $50 the dealer shouted something and the pit bosses all looked at me. After ten minutes they asked me to stop plying. And I won nothing! Same thing happened at the next casino. And the next one.
So I found a six deck, S17 game with average penetration and implemented the betting scheme above. I only played positive counts and the people at the table were LIVID. They cussed me out complaining I was “messing up the deck”, which is of course absurd and ignorant. So I left the table when the counts went really south. The pit bosses received a phone call and all looked at me.
I have no idea how to do this. You can maybe get away with spreading big, wonging in and out, and backcouting but not all three. People at the table GET PISSED when you sit out hands and only play positive counts, not to mention the pit bosses noticing. And I can’t even spread to $50 at the two deck shoes!
Can someone help?! I have read so much information on here and implemented it but it just doesn’t seem possible in the long run.
