Hey me and several friends have been practicing counting a great deal in the past few months. We have it down pretty solid and would like to try it in a casino. We want to set up team play. I was thinking of having several spotters and then as in Bringing Down the House, either a gorilla or BP. I would have the spotter betting the minimum. My total bankroll would be about $2000, maybe as high as $5000.
My questions are as follows:
Can someone explain the difference between a gorilla and BP and which one should I use?
With that bankroll, how much should the big better bet?
I am using a hi-lo count from Stanford Wongs book. How high should the true count be before the spotter calls in the bigger player? And how low should the count go before the big players leaves the table?
How much should the big player bet considering we are white males in our early 20s and dont want to draw attention?
According to Stanford Wongs book each positive value in the count gives you a +.5% advantage. Using the offset of .5% house advantage. You could consider generally the best you could do would be get about a 4% advantage. Say I was betting big at $100 per hand. If the count stayed at +8 giving me this advantage of 4%, does that mean i should win $400 in 100 hands?
Once I call in my big better should he start keeping track of the count so he knows when to split double, bet more etc. or should the spotter?
thanks and i hope you guys can answer all of these questions
