Spanish or Regular

[Dyepaintball12]

I read in a book once that Spanish 21 is more favorable than regular, but I tend to think some Blackjack books just want to make the author money.

Opinions?

I am going to a Casino next weekend that has both.

Spanish 21 is a beatable game but you must learn a whole new basic strategy and use a very large spread. My suggestion is just stick with blackjack for now as it is much easier and there are so many more blackjack tables in a casino.

Well, if the dealer satnds on a soft 17, like they do in AC, it is a better game (lower HA) than BJ for the non-counting player. I play it all the time - no problems finding a table and, for the most part, no one yells at you since no one knows BS anyway. Absolutely no one - trsut me lol. Bring a BS card, stay away from the Match bet if u don't like variance, drink 2 beers an hour and your ahead of the game. The BS is not really that hard to learn - hitting up to 14 vs 2 is alot of it. That usually PO's someone. But I don't care.

If the dealer hits a soft 17, like they do in Vegas, the game is worse than BJ.

To SystemsTrader - I know of no counting system for SP21 so I do not think the game is beatable in that respect.

I know of two systems which can beat SP21. One by Arnold Snyder (check the Big Book of Blackjack) and another which I created myself. My own system is still in the testing stage. I am currently not playing Spanish as blackjack is more than adequate for me at this time.

Cool. Is Arnold's system a counting system with index numbers? Even the Wiz has said he knows of no SP21 counting system although he thought maybe threre was discussion of one on private gambling board or something I think.

Good luck with ur system - sounds very interesting. The advantage to me in having such a system is that you would incur absolutely no heat and be able spread to your heart's content.
