Hi All,
Very first post so dont be to hard on me (",)..
Ok so I understand the basics of HI-LO counting and read the "21" book way before it was a film, in fact it wasn't even called 21 as far as i remember.... ( ah just remembered "Bringing down the house" ). Anyway I remember teaching myself HI-LO from that book and getting a bit excited about the prospect of have even a small edge on the casino's but then when i started visiting them i noticed they were dealing 8 deck shoes with on 50% penetration etc.. this led to me forgetting about even trying to count.
So my question is, before i start trawling through this and many other sites to learn as much as possible is there a point? Are there strategy's that work against the way shoes are dealt these days? ( if so can anyone point me in the right direction )
Are all the posts i'm reading about casino's still dealing 90-95% of a shoe? I live in ireland and i dont think i've ever seen that.
And lastly is it possible to count on live online blackjack? it seems a safer option when counting to me..
Many thanks
