I was in Barnes and Noble today and came across Kevin Blackwood's "Play backjack like the pros". Just skimmed through it to see what subjects he covered and saw something about increasing bets early on.
Let's just say you are playing an 8D game with 2 other players. The RC rises to +24 with 6D left to play giving your TC of +4. I usually just play it as a +4 count and bet my normal amount. He displayed a chart that had different betting schemes at different points in the shoe. I always thought, "the count is the count" and stick to it. Does anyone here play like this and not increase your bets to the full amount until half the shoe or more is complete?
I'm guessing this the same reasoning Snyder said not to place the LL bet in an 8D shoe until more than 2D are discarded.
