Most casinos in las vegas usually have a buy in threshold depending on the casino, typically try to keep it under 500 downtown. On the strip they usually won't blink a wink under 2k. Stacking ...

The reporting I've read on it says it is mostly about hand-paying slots, so people don't have to wait for an attendant and the paperwork and can keep right on funneling in those credits. If you earn...

I told you that I did and that I would report back as soon as he answered me. He just did. He graciously admitted his error and confirmed that the EV was +1/3, while reiterating that the more...
I don't think you are doing the loss rebate optimally if your win probability is 49% and your expected rounds is 14. You should be playing two rounds at most and you should be losing almost every...

I am looking into a 15% 'cash back' offer from an online casino. They have a 3k deposit match with a 15x playthrough requirements, and after checking their other promotions they also have the...
There are two ways to solve the problem (whether the payoff is for the first card only):
1. Ask Thorp.
2. Consider a new example: a scenario identical to Thorp's, but with the payoff for the first...
Yes, I missed some of the permutations. Sorry. My fault. But it does NOT make the EV zero, at least not the way Thorp described it. No matter how many times you’d like to state otherwise, Thorp WROTE...

If you are having to ask you don't have enough. Card counting is not really an entry point form of ap.

Thanks for your reply, but roughly what's a good bankroll for solo card counting in Europe? I like blackjack, but I don't know anything about other games.
A couple of things. Why for the second (orange) round, didn't you go straight down the second column? He clearly writes that the payoff for a red card is +1 and -1 for a black. He further stipulates...
Since you asked about bankroll, I assume you don't have a large bankroll that would make you indifferent to the big swings in your wins and losses – that is the scariest thing for a beginner.

Hi everyone, I signed up a few days ago and this is my first post.
I'm European and I was wondering if card counting in Europe is still possible or if it's a waste of time.
I'd like to know if...
Seems Thorp did not clearly say the payoff is for the first card only, by words, but we can guess how he designs the game:
1. Usually, we bet before the game starts. If we bet $1, and then two...
