new plr seeking help with Red 7 Playing Strategy/Casino Verite

[runcc88]

I have been reading Snyder's Blackbelt in Blackjack for a week or so and am taking his advice step by step in getting down the Red 7 Playing Strategy. I am trying to create a player on the CV software so that I can simulate play and practice the drills with this strategy and the following game:

6 deck shoe, H17, double down on any two cards, double after split, split aces once, no surrender, face up, automatic shuffler, and insurance is offered. According to trackjack - the casino advantage is 0.613% (but pls correct me if someone disagrees).

I have the basic strategy memorized and can utilize it without much thought and can count a deck of cards with the red 7 strategy without error. I feel if i can set up a player on the CV with the correct rules/settings - i will be on my way to learning this system. It just seems i can't get it figured out because the software only has the Advanced Red 7 Strategy and when I try to create my own strategy i mess it all up. Any help with this would be great.

In addition to the basic strategy, per Snyder's instructions, I also: take insurance at a running count of +2; stand on 16 v 10 and on 12 v 3 at a count of 0 or higher; and stand on 12 v 2, stand on 15 v 10, and dd on 10 v X at a count of +2 or higher.

I am new to this forum and any help would be greatly appreicated - Thanks.

Hmm... you should probably get ahold of a book that describes Red 7. It might be in the Big Book of Blackjack, or one of Snyder's other books.

He also might have some information on his website, blackjackforumonline.com.

There have been rather a lot of versions of Red7 over the years. The easiest way to set up a strategy is to create a new strategy based on the included Red7 strategy and modify it. There is a tutorial in the manual. If you have difficulty, best thing is to e-mail me at [email protected].
