    I'm using the term experiment, because it is my first experience with a significant betting spread. For the last year, i've been back-counting until a TC of +2 but my bet spread was never more...

    I assume your simulations are valid. I would be interested to know what specifically your “experiment” objective is. You say you’ve been practicing counting at the casino, so is this next step to...

    I think that is a decent and creative idea that could work, Sidecount. I see a couple of ways it could go sideways. The first $5,000 buy in, whether it be at blackjack, craps or baccarat, would...

    Hi Don, I've also considered that root-mean-square, but my problem is that I'm not sure which "mean" is the most accurate. If it were EVs, it would be simpler since the problem is solved by...

    A number of years ago, when 6:5 was just getting started in Vegas, I was in a casino at the south end of the Strip named for a Burmese city. I saw a $50 min table that was an 8D game with 6:5 BJ. ...

    It can be beaten in the sense that you have a positive expectation. You get quite a low return on investment fro any single table however. Which I think is what you mean. That is why you play...

    No, it would make no sense to think that the SCORE for scenario B is S2 + S3. It's fine to use the metric of SCORE for each half of the shoe, but that value is gained for only a half at a time. So,...

    Well, it's true that the 6 plays a very important role in this game. But I don't want to get into discussing whether a side count of 6s is advisable or not. Sincerely, Cac

    Does the dealer use a peeker dvice (mirror device that the corner of the card fits into) or is he actually looking at his hole card? If a peeker device, the dealer doesn't know his hole card's...
