is it obvious to see how many times the casino shuffles their deck? i remember they get it from like a little shoot or something. would it shuffle in there or would they take out every deck and than shuffle. how would you know if they shuffle after each hand or when the decks are done?
สวัสดี,
I have question,
I am lucky (or not ?!) to find a casino where I can surrender in a way that I cannot see either Early or Late type, it seems something in between:
– European style, there is no peek
– I cannot surrender when dealer has ace, but I can surrender when he has any 10s, anytime
– I can surrender after split or double-down.
– The cards are shuffled by CSM, so counting cards is impossible.
And most importantly, when I play with minimum bet of 5$, if I surrender, they give me 3$ since they do not have half a dollar chips. That adds up nicely to my bank
So in these conditions how should I use basic strategy and how much is house’s edge approximately?
None of my current code supports surrender after split or double, so an accurate answer is elusive.
You could use the free combinatorial analyzer here to look at some of these questions, but not all.
And you could use it to decide which $5 hands you should surrender. Since you only lose $2 by surrendering (0.4%) of your bet, you can look at the best EV for the other strategies. If it’s worse than -0.4, you should surrender instead.
I’ve been trying to google this and cant find any forums or info regarding the matter, so here goes:
In a true count of +6 (or something of that significance), is it ever correct to stand on a 12, 13 or 14 against a 10?
Knowing that the probability of the next card being a 10 and more often busting than improving you, should you stand and pray the dealer has 6 or less and take that 10? Or do you always hit since too many cards improve you (and refer to basic strategy)?
Short answer: Just always hit 12, 13, and 14 vs Ten.
Longer answer:
For 12vT and 13vT, the count basically never gets high enough to stand.
With 14vT, the appropriate Hi-Lo index would be very high. I know it is more than +10 true count, because I ran very in-depth data for the range of -10 to +10, and 14vT was still “always hit”.
Wong’s Professional Blackjack book shows “Always Hit” for 14vT with the Hi-Lo count, but for his Halves count, he gives an index of +10.
This is likely because the Halves count includes sevens, which are quite important for that specific hand.
If I recall on what I’ve read so far (new to this), in high true counts (let’s say 6+), then for hands 15 and up, you should always stand correct? Like a +1 and you should stand on 16 vs 10, at what count would I have to stand on a 15?
16vT: Stand at 0 or higher.
15vT: Stand at +4 or higher.

I have a relatively small bankroll and comps and match plays really make a huge impact on my future game (have not frequented many times yet), but wanted to clarify some thoughts. In a hypothetical situation, if I was to be receiving a $100 match-play bonus, is my EV out of that around $97 (assuming I play it at a house disadvantage) or is it around $47 for player (since house has a 3% edge making it around $53 for the house). Sorry if this seems silly, but I just wanted to make sure about the math before I dive into this.
Regardless, would this match play make a red chipper who spreads $10-100 (max bet) at a very high advantage or is negligible towards the hourly / bottom line? I assume even at a $47 free-roll, that has to impact a $10 min when max is $100.
I like it like it is. If you add the flashcard type version I hope you would make it an option like choosing how many decks, etc. If it were permanent I think I would think less before hitting, standing, or doubling down.
I assume you mean you would like a feature (optional of course) that shows you the correct play before you make the decision.
The trainer already corrects you on mistakes, but I can see how some people may like an option to just see the best play beforehand. Sort of like learning with flashcards. Sounds reasonable for the new version.
Almost all online blackjack games shuffle after every hand, making card counting useless.
You can make money playing online, but the value comes from bonuses and promotions. There’s no way to beat the games straight up.
I’m a fan. Keep it up guys!

I assume you mean at online casinos. You often can’t tell anything visually about shuffling. You need to look at the rule details instead.

Hello and thanks,

ขอบคุณอีกครั้ง

ซื้อการ์ดกลยุทธ์ BJ ขั้นสูงของคุณแล้ว ฉันเคยเห็นหลายคนนำเวอร์ชันคาสิโนมาเป็นตัวช่วย “ที่อนุญาต” เพื่อใช้เล่นกลยุทธ์พื้นฐานที่โต๊ะ แม้กระทั่งมีการโต้เถียง “สนุกๆ” กับคนที่บอกว่าฉันเล่นการตัดสินใจพื้นฐานผิดเพราะไพ่ของเขา ฉันบอกเขาว่าฉันไม่ได้เล่นผิดและเขาควรตรวจสอบอีกครั้ง เขาหยิบมันออกมาและ “ดูสิ’ ฉันถูก……..ฮ่าๆ น่าทึ่งมากที่ A-7 ทำให้หลายคนสับสนได้ขนาดนี้ ใช่ไหม?
ไม่ว่าจะอย่างไรก็ตาม มีวิธีอ้อมๆ ที่จะใช้บัตร Advanced ของคุณ (โหมดล่องหน) ในคาสิโน ฉันมีบัตรเหล่านั้นแล้ว; เคยคิดจะใช้ที่โต๊ะแต่ดูเหมือนจะกลัวเกินกว่าจะดึงออกมาใช้จริงๆ ฉันจำ 18 อันที่โดดเด่นได้เกือบหมดแล้ว คุณได้รับคำติชมจากผู้เล่นเกี่ยวกับบัตรเหล่านั้นบ้างหรือยัง? ฉันอยากเล่นแบบ “โง่” แต่ไม่โง่ขนาดนั้นที่โต๊ะ ไม่อยากให้พวกเขายึดบัตรของฉันเลย……..ฮ่าๆ แต่ฉันก็กังวลอยู่เหมือนกันถ้าหัวหน้าหลุมมาขอบัตรของฉันแล้วฉันต้องแสดงให้เขาดู คุณมีคำแนะนำอะไรไหม?
คุณถามว่าฉันมีข้อเสนอแนะจากผู้เล่นเกี่ยวกับปัญหานี้หรือไม่ และจริงๆ แล้วฉันยังไม่มี ฉันจำเป็นต้องเริ่มสอบถามจากผู้เล่นและดูว่าพวกเขากำลังประสบปัญหาอะไรกับเรื่องนี้.
มันอาจจะขึ้นอยู่กับสถานที่มากทีเดียว มีบางที่ที่ผมเล่นซึ่งผมจะไม่คิดที่จะหยิบการ์ดออกมาเลย แต่ก็มีบางโต๊ะที่ผมรู้สึกสบายใจที่จะทำแบบนั้นได้อย่างเต็มที่.
เนื่องจากคุณได้จำ 18 ไพ่ยอดเยี่ยมแล้ว คุณจะได้รับค่า 80-90% ไปแล้วโดยไม่ต้องมีไพ่ในมือจริง ๆ คุณอาจพัฒนาความรู้สึกในการตัดสินใจที่ไม่ใช่ไพ่ 18 ใบนั้น แต่เป็นไพ่ที่มีค่าใกล้เคียงได้เช่นกัน ด้วยเหตุนี้ คุณอาจพบเพียงหนึ่งหรือสองมือต่อชั่วโมงที่คุณต้องการดูไพ่.
ผมเข้าใจปัญหาอย่างถ่องแท้ และหากคุณได้ใช้แล้ว ผมอยากฟังความคิดเห็นของคุณเป็นอย่างยิ่ง.
แม้ว่าพนักงานจะดูไพ่จริงๆ ก็มีโอกาสสูงที่พวกเขาจะไม่สังเกตเห็นจุดเหล่านั้น ในกรณีที่แย่ที่สุด ถ้าฉันพบว่าตัวเองถูกพนักงานถามเกี่ยวกับจุดเหล่านั้น ฉันจะบอกเขาว่าจุดเหล่านั้นบอกฉันว่ามือไหนปลอดภัยที่จะเล่นตามความรู้สึกของฉันถ้าฉันไม่อยากทำตามคำแนะนำ มันแค่ดูตลกพอที่จะอาจจะได้ผล และมีความจริงอยู่บ้างเบื้องหลัง.
การยอมแพ้ดีกว่าการตี 16 เมื่อเทียบกับ 10 ที่ -1 หรือไม่? ฉันมั่นใจว่าข้อมูลนี้อยู่ที่ไหนสักแห่งในนี้ แต่ฉันยังหาไม่เจอ.
ขอบคุณสำหรับเว็บไซต์และข้อมูล
B
เมื่อใช้ 16vT หากสามารถยอมแพ้ได้ ให้ยอมแพ้เมื่อนับไพ่จริงได้ -4 หรือมากกว่านั้น มิฉะนั้นให้จั่วไพ่.
เมื่อไม่สามารถยอมแพ้ได้ ให้ยืนที่นับจริง 0 หรือสูงกว่า มิฉะนั้นให้จั่วไพ่.
Hello thanks for previous answers, new question!
I have a relatively small bankroll and comps and match plays really make a huge impact on my future game (have not frequented many times yet), but wanted to clarify some thoughts.

I like it like it is. If you add the flashcard type version I hope you would make it an option like choosing how many decks, etc. If it were permanent I think I would think less before hitting, standing, or doubling down.
for real. thats makes sense!
No firm timeframe yet for the new version, but I know it is months away still. I’m hoping to have something by this summer.
I assume you mean you would like a feature (optional of course) that shows you the correct play before you make the decision.

what about when playing online such as bet365.com
