Card counting can get very advanced, especially when you start to side count the aces. But just by following basic blackjack strategy and adding the simple techniques of counting cards you can bring your advantage way up.
Similar situation in the United Kingdom, had a grosvenor weekend booked with ten friends, the tourney included a room and en suite facilities including a breakfast and bar area all laid on.
Knocked out of a tournament and went on to find serious problems as our package was reduced, saying that we needed to reach the latter stages of the pay offs to qualify.
Found this out just after we were elimated, bags in hand and 300 miles from home.
I feel for anyone who may feel the pinch from the big guys at some point in the casino industry.
Just wanted to stop in and say that this is such a useful tool. I’ve used it numerous times to try and tweak the systems I use. It would never be possible without this site and qfit’s site.
Hi mate!

Dear Ken
This is interesting information. I started playing our favorite game back in 2000 and have developed a strategy that allows me to win about 80% of my sessions. I am NOT card counting. I am using a 5 tier sequence and bet ranging strategy that works very well with 6 and 8 deck shoes, CSM, random number generators such as used on the internet. I will avoid single and double deck tables like the plague.
Hi Haiko…your comment interested me as I found keeping the count and adjusting accordingly very difficult when you don’t play that often. I am playing basic strategy six deck and would be interested in knowing about your 5 tier sequence and bet ranging strategy. I currently ramp up my bets when winning and drop back to a basic unit on a loss or ramp down depending on how well I am doing. It would be appreciated if you would share your strategy so I may consider a more manageable playing and betting arrangement. Thank you.
Hello, I have been studying card counting and basic strategy for 6 months. I have read the books that are recommended and practiced every day for about an hour or so. After recently reading a few posts online,pros have been saying that card counting is no longer what it used to be and that it’s nearly impossible to maintain a healthy living off of the game let alone making it worth your time playing. Is this all true? Should I even continue thinking of card counting as a part time job on the weekends to make some money?
It is certainly true that game conditions are not as good as they were ten years ago, but there is another factor that I think offsets that negative. Table games are spreading to new jurisdictions at a faster pace than I have ever seen.
For players who are willing to travel, there are so many new venues to play that I think this is something of a golden age for the game. If you get away from the well-worn games in Vegas, there are tons of fantastic opportunities at small properties all over the country. If your target bet size is anything up to a low spread in black chips, there are lots of places to get a decent game.
For a weekend warrior, this may not be much help. If your local games deteriorate, you may not have the flexibility to travel far afield in search of better conditions. But before you give up on the profitability of the casinos nearest you, make sure you look with an open mind at all the opportunities there. Look at other games, and look at promotions.
Ich bin ein Tischspielhändler. Das Casino, in dem ich arbeite, hat RFID-Sensoren in den Tischen. Auf dem Tisch befindet sich ein kleiner weißer Knopf, den der Croupier drücken muss, wenn er oder sie die Wetten abschließt. Wenn der Knopf gedrückt wird, wird der Einsatz aufgezeichnet. Nun, das ist die Theorie dahinter. Solange ich in diesem Kasino arbeite, ist das System offline. Es ist interessant, neue Croupiers zu sehen, die immer noch die Knöpfe drücken, wie es ihnen beigebracht wurde.
Interessant! Vielleicht will die Geschäftsführung, dass die Händler den Knopf drücken, obwohl das System offline ist. Das ist so, als hätte man einen Videokameraglobus, auch wenn keine echte Kamera drin ist 🙂 .
Ein positiver Aspekt könnte sein, dass die Dealer denken, dass sie vollständig vom Casino kontrolliert werden.
Wie in "Lance Humbles - Greatest Book" ist der "Dealer der Feind des Spielers", der vielleicht nicht versuchen wird, Sie zu betrügen.
What you said makes sense. I have in the past complained about players taking Dealer bust cards.
But, I can remember when a inexperienced player was doing all the wrong plays but Winning.
Matter of fact I was winning too!!
I will not complain of inexperienced players again. You’re right if it wasn’t for them Playing would be different.
I’m going to Reno for three nights last this month
I have a minor degree in math, and learned these calculations. Some rumors seem to live forever. Maybe casinos know they bring in people to gamble—you sure never see them disputed by the owners. Thanks for a great news letter and site.
As always, Ken, you are absolutely correct; however……………….I always liked to agree that Johnny Clueless was KILLING me. Why? If the casino pit crew believes that I think that, then they cannot possibly believe I am an advantage player.
I agree 100 per cent . Basic strategy has been figured out by computer programmers and by mathematicians. It all depends on what you have and by what the dealer has, not by what other players are doing.
I know it is a rule that you must hit against a Dealers Ace when it is that he does not have a Blackjack even if the player has a double down hand, this I do not understand. I have been doubling down and most the time I have won. Can you explain.
Sorry but this article is for idiots… If you ever thought other players would affect your results then hehhh you’re the kind of sucker gambler a jackpot for the casino.
Blackjackinfo.com is a very useful website for the casino player.I got the information about casino blackjack sites. Really its a nice web site.
Klingt ziemlich aufregend! Wird das auch außerhalb des Landes gezeigt werden?

@Norman Sheridan:
You have a point there Norm. Looking like a typical superstitious gambler is a good idea. Being one is another matter entirely. 🙂
