Je ne comprends pas pourquoi les gens se lancent dans des mathématiques et des logiciels aussi maladroits et laborieux lorsqu'il s'agit de jeux d'argent. Pour moi, les jeux d'argent ne sont qu'un amusement où l'on veut gagner, mais pas gagner en connaissant la perte attendue que l'on est prêt à supporter. Il s'agit de mathématiques sophistiquées lorsque l'on parle de probabilité. Lorsque quelque chose est incertain, il suffit d'apprécier l'incertitude. Ne vous en préoccupez plus.
The better way to explain it is this. Johnny Clueless says to hit. Instead of the dealer giving him the next card from the deck, the dealer offers you the option to select any remaining card in the deck to give to Johnny instead. Should you take that option? The next card and the one you actually choose have been in that same position in the shoe since the shuffle. If you think that those two cards in those two positions now have a different chance of being a 10, then that was also true for those two cards right after the shuffle. Every card in the deck has the same chance of being a 10 after the shuffle. Do you not trust the shuffle?
Je jouais au black jack au casino de Sudbury. En séparant deux cartes de face, la machine m'a permis de jouer chaque carte séparément comme deux mains distinctes, mais en séparant deux as, la machine m'a donné une carte sur chaque as et a ensuite joué sa main sans me permettre de jouer les as. Est-ce une pratique courante ?
I’m using the Red 7 counting system and have been practicing counting for about a week. I keep losing count about midway through the deck. Does anyone else have this problem? Any help will be appreciated.
Everything published about the Red 7 count got one thing wrong. On a single deck the IRC is -2 and
they say when your finished counting down a deck of cards you should end with a +2. Wrong!!!!!!
The running count should be 0 at the end of the deck not +2. Even Arnold Snyder got it wrong and
he’s the author of the book. Everyone else in these Blackjack forums that publishing stories on the RED 7 system also got it wrong. It seems they blindly write these articles without checking. No wonder I was having a hard time
counting down a deck of cards.
Correct, when the dealer hits soft 17, you still double 11vA. If the dealer stands on soft 17, you just hit (unless you are playing a one or two deck game.)

WHAT?? i cant even follow what you are trying to say here.
but if you’d pay attention to what the article said, you would have heard it does affect the game how they play. it affects it both positively and negatively an equal amount on average.
I agree, I’ve found playing short rounds, betting to make up for losses and stopping after the winning streak of that session leaves me ahead every time and usual with a small decent haul of sometimes 200 to 300 dollars over the course of an hour. If i had 10’s of thousands of dollars to blow could see that small haul exponentially being impressive, but in reality with a small gambling egg and playing perfectly with all the tiny bonuses in your favor your winnings are equivalent to an hourly mediocre job through the course of a day. The biggest rule I feel that doesn’t work and I ignore but statistically has the law of probability in its favor is holding on 12 to 16 hoping the dealer breaks. Mathematically its theory is probably good on paper but in reality the dealer mostly always comes out ahead.
J'ai gagné 56% de mes mains 27 ont gagné et 18 ont perdu. le profit était de +$1237.5. j'ai seulement gagné 1 double down sur 4. j'ai poussé sur 1.
Suis-je prêt à affronter le casino ? Le casino que je vais cibler coupe 2 jeux de leur sabot de 6 jeux au lieu d'un seul.

Si le croupier a le black jack et dit qu'il ne l'a pas et que le jeu continue et que vous obtenez 21 également, quel est le recours ?

What would you do if you have a hard 11 and dealer is showing an Ace? 6-deck game, dealer hits on soft 17. I would still double, am I wrong?

Still plenty of good games outside LV.

Si vous voulez gagner, ne jouez pas, la maison gagne toujours.
Pas à Oz
Je me suis toujours posé la question et c'est la meilleure solution.
Nope, There is no system to win in Blackjack, except counting cards. (And even that can not guarantee a win.)
