I've been meaning to ask this question for a while but have procrastinated for various reasons. In any event, I'll do my best to articulate what I am trying to ask.
I use two methods of ...
Having difficulties escaping the mindset of protecting wins, or making excuses for not throwing out max bet especially during one of those sessions where you are pushing on blackjacks, and 20s, and...
I'm playing 8 deck with 50% penetration, when they reach the cut they don't just reshuffle that deck they have one pre-shuffled, at that point I reset my count because it is a new set of decks. I'm...
I did something really dumb. I accepted a $5,000 chip at a blackjack table instead of insisting on yellow chips as I always do if I have more than $5,000 of chips. Cashier wouldn't accept without...
Hi,
After a couple of years studying blackjack and a full year praticing card-counting at my local casino, I feel ready to begin my journey as an AP.
Before beginning, I'd just need a...
I had an interesting experience playing recently and wanted to know if it is something that has been researched before. I was playing a 6D, 3:2, 5.5/6, DAS, LS game which already are extremely good...
Using CVData, I can't find optimal indexes for Zen. Every time I generate indexes, I get slightly different numbers and I am unable to figure out what to do.
My RA indexes are also being...
Recently, I collected data on SCORE for different Wong-in and Wong-out points. Each data point has a SCORE and the percentage of hands played. The count used is Zen and the game is H17 DAS Sr RSA...
I was at an AC casino the other day and out on the casino floor they had a $100 dollar minimum double zero roulette wheel. In the high rollers area was a 50 dollar minimum single zero roulette wheel....
I like to plan blackjack trips, however I don't always take them. Anyway, I never been to the Black Hawk casinos, but I would like to see the scenery and the area. I don't want to rent a car so is...
Expected value goes down when you use risk-averse indices.
However, it is worth it because with risk-averse indices your variance is reduced.
In theory this should allow you to bet more...
To restate what Don has said except in a different way.
Theoretically, RA indices allow you to increase your max bet for the count in question. Practicality leaves you with the same max bet with...
Reread BJA3, pp. 375-377. You can't increase SCORE by simply switching the indices. It's assumed that, when you do, the betting ramp will change accordingly. If, instead, you keep the same bets, then...
Let's chat about hacking online live casinos. Honestly, it's a really bad idea. Not only is it illegal, but it's also totally unfair to the folks playing by the rules.
If I want to keep my RoR under 1 %, this is the most agressive betting ramp I can perform. Also, this way i stay low profile without catching any attention.
Unfortunately, the only decent casinos...
Thanks for the insight Don. Would it not be the case that switching to RA indexes would increase SCORE and changing the bet sizing would allow us to keep RoR the same while increasing EV? Either way,...
