Going to Vegas in Sept. I have basic strategy down. I need a counting system that I can manage and Hi/Lo isn’t it. I’ve tried 5/Ace. I’m interested in your program but honestly, I REALLY need to know what the most common table rules are for 5/10 min. tables before I invest in another program.
If you are going to just play basic strategy, you can find $5/$10 tables in lots of places with continuous shuffle machines. If you plan to count, you will need to look a lot harder to find decent regular shuffled games at that level. The first thing to check is make sure that blackjack pays 3:2, not 6:5. Check TI for some decent low-limit blackjack tables, or look downtown. The rules are generally going to be 6 deck or 8 deck, dealer hits soft 17, no surrender.
I am confused about playing full time and hourly win rates. I see posts and blogs saying that to make so much you need to put in so many hours of play but then i see posts and it is my experience that many sessions are only 1 hour up to 3 hours. When speaking of hourly rate is this actual time played? Sometimes i go to play and cant find a positive profitable shoe for a couple hours. I generally wong out at M1 and find myself watching poker for 15 minutes until i find a table with a new shoe. All in all it seems hard to put in 40 hours a week of actual play. Should i be traveling more? Is full time less than 40 hours? What am i missing? Any reply is appreciated Thanks
Most published “win rate per hour” numbers assume you will play through all those negative counts. When they do not, the author will clearly mention the criteria for leaving the table. That’s an excellent plan by the way, because your results will be much better if you leave in bad counts. 40 hours is tough to maintain anywhere, because if you are playing a winning game you must spread out that much play over multiple casinos or you won’t last long at all before being backed off.
I’ve played an online blackjack that when dealt two Aces automatically changed one of them to count eleven. I didnt catch it at first but sure enough when I drew another card I busted. This particular game would not count both my Aces as one. Is this ever done at a casino?
Yikes! That’s a terrible rule, and one I have never personally seen. I wouldn’t trust any online casino that does such a poor job of implementing blackjack, as I suspect it was just a programmer that didn’t understand even the basics of the game. Who knows what else they are doing wrong! To answer your question, no, this is never done at any casino I have visited.
For a card counter, there is a tiny advantage to be gained by sitting at “third base”, since you get to see a few more cards before you must play out your hand. But the effect is minimal expect in single deck. I recommend most inexperienced counters not sit at third base, because other players mistakenly think your play makes a difference in their results. Until you develop a pretty thick skin, just avoid that issue by sitting elsewhere at the table.
Sam Vaughn is my father. I wish over the years that we could have been closer and he could have taught me some of his “tricks of the trade”. I miss him dearly!! Love you DOD!!
There’s nothing wrong with that bet ramp if you’re getting away with it. 20:1 will definitely win the money! I like big spreads. Especially if you have the flexibility to travel a bit. And some out-of-the-way casinos are just clueless.
Ken is this bet ramp ok? +1 $10 +2 $50 +3 2X$50=$100 +4 2X$75=$150 +5 or higher im maxing at 2X$100. Played at this particular casino for 2-3 months; been doing well with no pit critter sweat.

นอกจากนี้ ฉันได้พยายามเขียนจดหมายถึงคาสิโนสองสามครั้งเพื่อสอบถามกฎแบล็คแจ็คเฉพาะของพวกเขา ไม่มีการตอบกลับ ฉันควรจะสามารถขอให้คาสิโนส่งสำเนากฎของพวกเขาได้หรือไม่?
ผมคิดว่าคุณกำลังพูดถึงคาสิโนออนไลน์ ผมขอแนะนำให้คุณหลีกเลี่ยงเว็บไซต์ใด ๆ ที่ไม่มีกฎกติกาที่ชัดเจนให้ดูบนเว็บไซต์ของพวกเขาอย่างแน่นอน หากพวกเขาไม่ตอบกลับคำขอเกี่ยวกับกฎกติกา นั่นคือสิ่งที่ผมต้องการรู้เกี่ยวกับระดับการสนับสนุนของพวกเขา ไม่มีทาง!
Where should you sit at the table? or does it matter?

Thanks for posting a note. Sam is missed by many.
กำลังจะไปเวกัสสัปดาห์หน้า จะพักที่มอนติคาร์โล ไม่ทราบว่ามีที่ไหนที่สามารถหาข้อมูลรายชื่อคาสิโนที่ดีที่สุดสำหรับการเล่นได้บ้าง? เช่น BJ จ่าย 3:2, สามารถแยกไพ่เอซได้, Double Down ได้ทุกแต้ม, ใช้สำรับไพ่หลายชั้น ฯลฯ?
มันนานแล้วที่ฉันไม่ได้ไปเวกัส แต่ TI มักจะได้รับรีวิวที่ดีที่สุดสำหรับเกมแบล็คแจ็คที่มีขีดจำกัดต่ำและกฎเกณฑ์ที่ดี ทุกที่บนสตริป มันเริ่มยากที่จะหา 3:2 BJ ในขีดจำกัดต่ำ หลายที่ไม่ได้เสนอเลยจนกว่าคุณจะไปถึงขีดจำกัด $25+ คุณจะพบว่าเกมส่วนใหญ่ตอนนี้เป็น H17 แม้แต่ในตัวเมืองก็ไม่ได้เป็นข้อยกเว้น ขึ้นอยู่กับความจริงจังของคุณ อาจจะคุ้มค่าที่จะซื้อการสมัครสมาชิกหรือฉบับเดียวของ Current Blackjack News ที่ bj21.com พวกเขาแสดงเงื่อนไขปัจจุบันทั้งหมด อัปเดตทุกเดือน.
ขอบคุณสำหรับการตอบกลับครับ ปกติผมเล่นโต๊ะ $25/$50 เพื่อจะได้พารามิเตอร์ที่ดีกว่าและไม่มีการเข้าช่วงกลางรองเท้า หวังว่าด้วยเงินเดิมพันขั้นต่ำเหล่านี้ ผมจะได้เล่นเกมที่ดีครับ ผมเจอเว็บไซต์นี้ขณะค้นหาออนไลน์ ไม่ทราบว่ามีข้อมูลที่ค่อนข้างแม่นยำหรือเป็นปัจจุบันไหมครับ? http://wizardofvegas.com/guides/blackjack-survey//
เมื่อเร็ว ๆ นี้ฉันถูกใส่ชื่อไว้ในฐานข้อมูลสำหรับผู้เล่นที่ได้เปรียบ ฉันคิดว่ามันเรียกว่า Oregon state surveillance หรืออะไรทำนองนั้น มันเป็นฐานข้อมูลระดับประเทศ มีใครรู้บ้างไหมว่าคุณสามารถทำอะไรเกี่ยวกับเรื่องนี้ได้บ้าง? มีความคิดเห็นอะไรบ้างไหม? ขอบคุณครับ/ค่ะ
อาจจะไม่มีอะไรมากที่จะทำได้ ฐานข้อมูลเหล่านี้ค่อนข้างจะเป็นแบบทางเดียว จากประสบการณ์ของฉัน เมื่อคุณถูกบันทึกไว้แล้ว คุณก็ถูกบันทึกไว้ ข่าวดีก็คือแทบทุกคนที่เป็นมืออาชีพที่ฉันรู้จักทำเงินได้มากขึ้นในปีหลังจากที่พวกเขาอยู่ใน Griffin มากกว่าก่อนหน้านั้น มันไม่ได้ร้ายแรงอย่างที่คิด.
Sorry to contradict your dream of winning a house . In Philippines ,they don’t just use 6 decks but all use CSM !!
