I calculated my local casino edge based on the infor you give.
our rule is 6 decks, double on any first two cards, double after splitting, resplit all pairs, except Aces, insurance is available,dealer stands on H-17.
so my calculation is: -.54% -0.2%(H17)+0.7(ES)+0.14(DAS)=0.1% is this right? if it is right, does it mean player have 0.1% edge over casino?
thanks for all you have replied on other topic.
You are very unlikely to have a local game that offers EARLY surrender. It is probably LATE surrender.

Dealer only has one card on table, player can surrender before the first third card deal out of the shoe.player can surrender on dealer’s ten but not A. so what is the advantage for player for this rule. if ES is +0.7%, what is the advantage for this kind of surrender?
How come when you split Aces and then get another Ace the program will not let you split beyond two hands that is a flaw that needs to be corrected asap. Thanks!
Yes, there is a problem with split Aces in the current version. A completely new trainer is in development and coming along nicely. I’m hoping to launch before the end of the year.
I win every time I go to a casino, and I do it without counting cards. I would play more, but I feel like I would get banned if I kept winning at my current pace (at the one place that I play now).
I doubled my seed money in 5 hours playing a consistent 1/20 seed money bet.
It sounds like you are using a progression, perhaps a Martingale where you double up until you win a hand, which produces a profit for the series equal to your initial bet. You don’t have to worry about being banned for that. In fact, quite the opposite. Unfortunately, you also don’t have to worry about continuing to win for the long term. You will eventually hit a long enough streak of losses to wipe you out, and your net result will be negative. You cannot create a winning expectation by making any sequence of negative expectation bets. It just doesn’t work that way.
Nope, not progressive. I bet the same every time. The tables that I play have a max bet just 8x greater than my typical bet. So counting splits, doubles, etc., I would be broke in no time if I were doing progressive.
I could’ve been just really lucky in the past, but how many times or how much money can I win before they start to notice?
I wouldn’t worry. If you are flat-betting with nothing else going on, you’ve just been lucky. As a flat-bettor, you can win a lot before they get worried. In bigger places, $50K cumulative win might be a problem. But if they don’t see anything suspicious in your play, think six figures. In small places that really sweat the money, it can be tough to win $10K without issues, even for players that appear to just be lucky. For this question, your mileage may vary.
Hello there Ken!
Very, very useful website, and very, very useful replies from you. Thank you!
I have one question: Should i only join the tables that are starting the new shoe (no cards dealt)? So, I’m supposed to walk around and watch when the all cards are dealt, and then sit and play?
And, if I’m playing a 6-deck shoe, immidiately when the true count goes minus 1, i am supposed to walk away? That will happen pretty often right? You said before that it’s happening very often in a double deck game, but i assume that it’s happening in 6-deck as well?
I will probably have a bunch of questions for you in coming weeks, so be prepared 🙂 🙂

Early surrender against the dealer ten is worth around 0.24%, instead of the 0.70% value of full early surrender.
Thank you very much Ken, love your website.
Is blackjack dying, it’s hard to find a good game, h17, Csm and now way too many 6:5 games are casinos going to make blackjack a dinasor ?
I actually addressed exactly this in a recent blog post:

Hey all,

Very interesting. Thanks for the words of wisdom, Ken.
ฉันกำลังสงสัยเกี่ยวกับบางเรื่องอยู่ ฉันหาแผนภูมิเบี่ยงเบนฟรีสำหรับกฎเกมของฉันไม่เจอเลย... ทุกที่ก็เรียกเก็บเงินทั้งนั้น มีใครพอจะรู้ไหมว่าฉันจะหาแผนภูมิฟรีได้จากที่ไหน? ฉันต้องการแบบที่ใช้สำรับไพ่ 6-8 สำรับ เจ้ามือจั่วที่ซอฟต์ 17 แยกไพ่ได้ซ้ำ และดับเบิ้ลหลังแยก
นอกจากนี้ ฉันมีอีกเรื่องหนึ่งที่คิดมากเกินไปเมื่อเร็วๆ นี้ เมื่อฉันมีแต้มซอฟต์ 18 เทียบกับไพ่ของดีลเลอร์ 3 4 5 6 ฉันจะดับเบิ้ลเมื่อเจอ 7 แต่จะอยู่เมื่อเจอ 9 10 A ฉันเพิ่งรู้ว่าควรดับเบิ้ลเมื่อเจอ 2 ด้วย อย่างไรก็ตาม เมื่อซอฟต์ 18 เทียบกับไพ่ 8 ของดีลเลอร์ มันบอกว่าให้อยู่ ฉันคิดว่าฉันควรตีเพื่อได้ตีฟรีหรือไม่?และ 18 ไม่ใช่ไพ่ที่แพ้เหรอ? ซอฟต์ 17 กับ 7 ฉันต้องจั่วเพราะเป็นการจั่วฟรีใช่ไหม? แล้ว 18 กับ 8 ต้องเล่นเหมือนกันหรือเปล่า? แล้วก็ อืม... เมื่อฉันมีซอฟต์ 18 ที่ไม่ธรรมชาติ กับไพ่ของดีลเลอร์ 2-6 มีวิธีเล่นต่างกันไหมสำหรับแต่ละกรณี? แบบว่า อืม...ถ้าฉันมีไพ่ A-2 และกลยุทธ์พื้นฐานสำหรับเล่นกับดีลเลอร์บอกว่าให้จั่วเพิ่ม ถ้าฉันได้ 5 และมี 8 หรือ 18 ฉันควรหยุดหรือจั่วเพิ่มเพื่อปรับปรุงไพ่? ฉันคิดว่าจะจั่วเพิ่มเพราะเหตุผลบางอย่าง แต่ฉันเดาว่าฉันควรจะหยุด... แต่สิ่งนี้เปลี่ยนไปไหมถ้าไพ่บนโต๊ะมีแต้มสูงหรือต่ำ?
