El conteo de cartas puede llegar a ser muy avanzado, especialmente cuando empiezas a contar los ases. Pero con sólo seguir la estrategia básica del blackjack y añadir las sencillas técnicas del conteo de cartas puedes aumentar mucho tu ventaja.

Eliminados de un torneo, nos encontramos con serios problemas porque nos redujeron el paquete y nos dijeron que teníamos que llegar a las últimas fases de los pay off para clasificarnos.

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.
Soy crupier de juegos de mesa. El casino en el que trabajo tiene los sensores RFID en la mesa. En la mesa hay un pequeño botón blanco para que el crupier lo pulse cuando cierra las apuestas. Cuando se pulsa el botón, se registra la apuesta. Bueno, esa es la teoría que hay detrás. Durante todo el tiempo que he trabajado en este casino el sistema ha estado desconectado. Es interesante ver a nuevos crupieres que siguen pulsando los botones tal y como se les ha enseñado.
¡Interesante! Quizá la dirección pretenda que los concesionarios pulsen el botón aunque el sistema esté desconectado. Algo así como tener un globo con cámara de vídeo aunque no haya una cámara real dentro 🙂 .
Un aspecto positivo podría ser, que los crupieres piensan que están completamente controlados por el casino.
Como en "Lance Humbles - Greatest Book" el "Dealer es el Enemigo del jugador", el quizás no intentará engañarte.
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 es un sitio web muy útil para los jugadores de casino. Realmente es un buen sitio web.
Suena muy emocionante. ¿Se emitirá también fuera del país?

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