What are they doing to this site? What happened to the original strategy page, where you selected the number of decks and dealer hits or stands on soft 17 etc.?

Ken, Great website by the way. With the 8 deck game using Hi-Lo counting. 1-12 or 1-20 spread is better?
Bet spread 0 =$10.00
true count +1 =$25.00 +2 =$50.00 (.5%) +3 =$100.00 (1%) +4 =$150.00 (1.5%) +5 =$200.00 (2% edge) over house
cut card 1.5 deck cut off (75%) penetration roughly
Let’s say I had a running count +26 with half a shoe left. (TC =+6) Move to a second hand or just play one? Two other players at table. I prefer to play alone.
Always split 8,8 vs 10 (right) TC +5 change to stand?
Thanks,
Bigger spreads will always have a higher expected win. Spreading to two hands in positive situations will always have a lower risk with the same expected win as a single hand of the same total amount. So it really comes down to what you are comfortable doing.
As for 88vT, you should always split in DAS games. In NDAS games, your index is correct. At TC+5 or higher, stand instead of split. Because it’s a “reverse” index (split in lower counts, stand in higher), I left it off my advanced strategy cards because of the potential for confusion.
Well said. The larger your spread the more heat from the pit. I have have been mixing colors (black,green,red chips) which I got from Ken Uston and Kevin Blackwood. Cat and mouse game I guess. Thanks for the reply.
Why are there some difference in advanced strategy indexes between the one in this site and casino verite. Even casino verite has two version of high low strategy how do I know which one to use
I live in Québec, Canada (I’m a French-Canadian, so I’m apologising from my grammar mistakes… 😛 ), and we have some weird rules for Black Jack, so it’s really hard for me to find a perfect index chart on the internet, and the rare one that I find are missing some index number, or only goes from -3 to 4. Even worst, all the numbers are rounded, and most of the time they don’t explain how they rounded them. For example, some place says that 1,5 to 2,5 are 2, but some other places said that 1,1 to 2,9 are 2 on the index chart… So I was wondering if you have a program that you recommend to me that will allow me to calculate the perfect index number for the rules where I live. Thanks a lot in advance 🙂
After training the lessons I just started to play my first real session in the casino. Played for about 1:30 hour. (I tried to keep it under an hour but lost track of time.)
I noticed that as I started winning the pit boss changed the decks and asked the croupier to shuffle manually instead than the machine. When shuffling he checked the cards.
I started small (changed 50 and the minimum was 2.5 and used max bet 30). I was worried the pit boss started suspecting already so played about 15 minutes more and left after losing a hand. I tried to follow all the advice in the lesson. I actually left with about 130 (which in the exchange rate in my country is not so little). The bad side is the casino requires id for a card you need to use for buying or changing chips so they know who I am. Should I worry? What’s would you recommend? Is there any particular book that may talk about the subject in more length?
Another question I want to buy your strategy cards but as I am not in the USA I usually big digital books are you planning to sell them in digital format in the future?
Thank you for this great website
If he suspected counting, the first tactic would usually be decreasing the penetration. The fact that he wanted to check the cards (and that’s likely why he switched to hand shuffle for a while) indicates that he was perhaps concerned about the cards being marked. He could have been looking for subtle physical damage or visible ink spots that an unscrupulous player could impart while playing.
I would not worry much at this point, and would just stay aware of whatever attention you are getting. In many small casinos, the pit has very little else to do, so they’re almost guaranteed to watch your play closely. You asked about a book… At low bet limits, I think spending money on camouflage is too expensive. If you are still interested, a good book on the topic is Ian Anderson’s Burning the Tables in Las Vegas.
Lastly, sorry, but I have no plans for a digital version of the strategy cards at this time.
Привіт, я досить новачок у блекджеку і я в процесі читання всіх ваших уроків, я вже запитував в інших форумах, але хотів би отримати вашу відповідь. Це може здатися дурним питанням, але я граю в казино в Іспанії, де вони грають з 6 колодами і зазвичай тасують через 1/1,5 колоди. Чи можете ви порекомендувати якийсь конкретний метод, урок або вважаєте, що я повинен використовувати систему хай-лоу в цьому сценарії, щоб обіграти дилера? Дякую!
Погані новини. Гра, яку ви описуєте, роздаючи від 1 до 1,5 колод з 6, майже непереможна з підрахунком. Це в кращому випадку 25% проникнення. Позитивні ситуації лише зрідка виникатимуть так рано, а вартість розіграшу інших рук навіть при мінімальній ставці перекриє випадкову перевагу на хороших руках.
Вибачте, але вам доведеться знайти гру з кращими умовами, щоб мати перевагу в підрахунку карт.

The short answer: I believe that the indexes on my card are the best available.
I live in Québec, Canada (I’m a French-Canadian, so I’m apologising from my grammar mistakes… 😛 ), and we have some weird rules for Black Jack, so it’s really hard for me to find a perfect index chart on the internet, and the rare one that I find are missing some index number, or only goes from -3 to 4.

Thanks a lot in advance 🙂
CVData will calculate indexes using any rules and conditions that you specify. Find it at https://qfit.com/blackjack-simulator.htm

On your blackjack strategy trainer can you use it to count cards?
Of course. The trainer uses a random shuffle, and shows you when the shuffle happens. Count away.
Maz: I bet you think the moon landings were faked too. 🙂
Card counting does not work
Ніколи не пийте під час гри в блекджек. Випивайте, коли закінчите грати. Виграй або програй!
Getting only one card on split Aces is the normal rule. And yes, you should still split them against any dealer upcard.
