How viable is backcounting in 2024?
I was playing around with CVCX and saw that my risk of ruin plummeted even when backcounting to 1 and playing out the rest of the shoe no matter what. Is this...
How much of a difference does .99 BC vs .96 BC make? And lets say the .99 BC count is a bit more complex than the .96 BC, and by a bit I mean side counting 2 cards instead of 1.
concerning the 4-4 vs 5,6 split. i have seen very little info. about a deviation play regarding this hand. it would seem to be ill advised with any ten rich shoe (or dbl. deck for that matter)
Since you start with a negative count, when should you begin using indices rather than basic strategy? I am thinking like the 9v2, 11vA,12v5&6, and the 13 and 14 hands. Thank you for the time &...
Hi everyone :nevreness:
In summer 2022 I was given the opportunity to record several people deeply involved in the game of blackjack.
The idea was to make a podcast about card counting...
Norm, when I ran a simulation I got this message.
Run-time error '401':
Can't show non-modal form when modal form is displayed
After I press OK, the program shuts off and I have to reopen...
I added a note to a particular configuration prior to running a simulation. Now, every time I run a simulation that note appears, which no longer applies to my other simulations. Rather than...
Hi BJ playing community, there is a new App (Windows PC) for Card counting and Basic strategy available:

There's a lot of misunderstanding about this, including some of what you've written above. Let me see if I can clarify.
First, you stipulate your bankroll for playing the game. You say, for...
You're basically never going to beat an ante 6 to 5 game with counting. I mean, I guess if it's single deck dealt to the last card and they allow mid-deck entry, you could technically do it. But real...
With blackjack, you can't just do Kelly betting based on the advantage at a given count. Because you aren't just playing that one hand. You need to take into account the frequency of those counts,...
Flat-bet when wonging isn't for $50 bettors. It's for guys playing purples, and they think surveillance will only back off if they see bet variation (which is more common than you think).
I'm sorry, this is is just bad advice. If you only watch one or two rounds out of a shoe, you're not really back-counting. You're sampling.
And don't think that you're getting some huge...
Maybe. Depends on your spread. If you’re playing locally with tight spreads and that “harder” count is better able to identify both marginal weakness and strength, then you’ll do much better with...
The most important PE improvement is perfect insurance (or close to it) but I am not sure how you can get to that from your main system since we don't know what information you use.
As far as the...
Oh for sure, though I’m not in the position to discuss it openly. It was passed down from a mentor, but the count itself can be improved, just not sure the extra effort is worth the trouble. Assuming...
