I live fairly close to Tunica and spend some time there playing shoes with KO and a 1 to 10-12 spread. However... there are times when I'm out with a group all playing Blackjack. None are counters, most not even basic strategy (although I have given out laminated BS cards to all who will listen.)

On these outings, it's more of an evening of fun! Not too serious, but the throng of people with me (male and female) makes "attacking" the casino somewhat difficult, so I generally play in shoes I might otherwise leave, no wonging, and maybe drinking a bit much.

I was wondering... on these trips what the break even bet spread is. I have never heard this topic ever discussed. I am mostly interested in having fun but NOT playing a losing game.

AT the typical games, with typical rules, using KO what would that spread be? My "guess" would be something like this:

Single deck 1 to 2
Double deck 1 to 3
Six deck shoe 1 to 5
Eight deck shoe (don't have a clue... maybe even as much as 1 to 8

Is this even close? Too conservative?
