Hi, can i use the basic srategy playing rng bj like the one playtech offer in many different online casino, will it have the same effect as playing live casino?
hey can you really go through a card game in 10 seconds? I can’t even flip the cards in a deck in under 20 and thats when i’m not even looking at the cards
Remember you are flipping through the deck 2 cards at a time. Still, the GameMaster’s time of 10.5 seconds is very fast. I don’t think I was ever that fast, but frankly, it’s not something I have practiced in a long while. 🙂 I know my speed is just fine at the real game.
I’ve never been to a casino, I’m actually not old enough, how long do you have to decide what to do on each hand? And do you have any tips for keeping track of the count while at the same time adding and subtracting new totals?
Most decisions at the table are made pretty quickly, but you won’t be bothered about it unless you take more than 20 or 30 seconds to decide.
As for how to keep track? Practice, practice.
Yes, you can profitably play without strategy variations. Bet variation yields the majority of the profit, with strategy variations just being the extra on top.
How would the above basic strategy variations table change if the game involved the dealer hitting on soft 17 instead of standing. This is the more common format that I see in casinos so it is what I have been basing my basic strategy around. Would the true count cutoffs be significantly different with this slight dealer rule change?
How would you know how to vary your basic strategy based on the true count for other variations in rules?
There are no differences at all for dealer upcards of 7,8,9,T, since the dealer cannot have a soft 17 with those hands.
But against dealer 2 through 6 and Ace, there are several.
Perhaps the largest difference is this one… 12v6 should stand at -1 or higher in 6DS17, but stand at -4 or higher in 6DH17 games.
(The GameMaster doesn’t show this index in his list, but it’s a useful one.)

You can’t compare doubling vs hitting unless you also know the hit/lose/push probabilities for both. In the case of A2v4, those numbers are better when hitting than doubling. (There is likely a big reduction in loss percentage, and a big increase in pushes.) The double down charts simply do not include enough information to derive basic strategy from them, because they’re only part of the puzzle.
You can start increasing your bet at a true count of +2 (some games at +1), and you should generally have your biggest bets on the table at +5 and higher.

How about an option to turn off the card total display? There’s no such display at a real blackjack table.

Short answer, yes. You can safely assume that practicing against an RNG has the “same effect” as a live casino.

If you play the game with no variation, only change your bets can you still achieve an advantage or is variation play integral for this to occur?

Muy bien Dwight, yo también. Acabo de empezar a ir al casino, y ha sido divertido. Estoy listo para empezar a practicar para recuperar mi dinero.
Thanks for all the amazing resources.

Thanks again for all the help

your chart shows doubling a,2 vs 4 as win 49.4% and lose as46.0% but basic strategy chart does not show it as a double. what am I missing?

Who supervises the casino ? Example: 6 or 8 decks with 75% penetration .
The casino could take 10 faces , illegally , without the counter notice ?
En Austria se paga 3:2 también en 777, lo que significa acertar siempre en 7,7 para la estrategia básica, ¿no?
Pero usan un CSM con 6 mazos y una pila de 2,5 mazos como máximo. ¿Se puede ganar a este juego?
Thanks for the BJ game. It’s a real good one. The black letters on the green are a little hard for me to see. Only problem I’ve noticed.
Yes, that’s on the wishlist. Thanks!
