Yes, that helps, thanks. I forgot some places have high limit on fri/sat only. I ran into this at Seneca Allegany in NY. I have no problem with a players card, I tried to sign up online but you...
I play KO. I think it works well for me as I play either 6 deck or 8 deck games on an infrequent basis. Not having to worry about deck estimation beyond Dravot’s charts is nice.
I think it...
I have not read the book, but I have read many stories about blackjack teams for a long time. None of the amounts won per team member are very impressive. Even the MIT team doesn't seem to have made...
Correct, but also very kind of you to say. Thanks :very_drunk:
As for who made the larger contribution, I think it's fair to say that neither of us could have done it without the other.
Not sure if this was asked or observed before. I might have done it somewhere but can't remember! A few random thiughts about BJA here.
Colin's claim of taking $4M from casinos sounds impressive...
Just a quick comment, directed at all forum participants. Perhaps it's just a shortcut way of writing it, but when many refer to THLCCS as "Don's new book," you unintentionally ignore the...
Hi and thanks for buying the book and for your complimentary review!
To answer your questions, we only covered double deck and six deck. We were constrained for space (336 pages with just those...
That definitely sounds frustrating. CVCX can give slightly varied results due to simulation randomness, but significant changes like that aren’t typical. Maybe try resetting cache/settings?
Don's book on the Hi-low card counting system is amazing so far after reading it. English is not my first language so excuse myself if there are grammatical errors. I notice that there is 6 deck,...
I guess someone should answer your actual question :courage:
The reasons are a combination of different techniques used, different underlying assumptions, software implementation choices and...
That's not true; it has an index for both the SD and 4-deck games, for both S17 and H17, in the appendixes. See, for example, page 267, A4, +3, for four decks, S17.

This is close call. Wong (1994) has it at +1 (for 4 decks).
I'm looking at the raw data from the sim used to generate the indices for THLCCS book. It's a close call at +1 with the difference in EV...
Yes, for the purposes of the pit, you are spreading from $5 to $600, so 1-120. But, if you're asking if the SCORE or win rates are the same as if you bet $5 to $600 on one hand, that answer is no.
