    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...

    moo321 replied to a thread Ante Games in Software
    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...

    Hmm so I could easily out pace the harder count. Ugh the perfectionist in me always tries to optimize things but simplicity is crucial with respect to time. I could probably do the easier count all...

    Here I disagree. What you're saying depends on the counting system you use. In Hi-Lo or Halves, an ASC will effectively improve PE and not BC, as you rightly say, but with CAC2 this is not the case,...

    BC/BE by itself means nothing. It must go hand in hand with PE. What I mean by this is that you can have a system with a BC of 0.99 that turns out to be inferior, in terms of SCORE, to another with,...
