OK. That's kinda what I thought. I play "poor pen" (2 of 6 cut off) but I get 150 hands per hour playing solo and about 130/hour if one other person is playing at the same decision speed I do....
In fact, just by manually messing around with betting (all within the spread limits) I can get a SCORE of 33.70. Probably could do better with more trial and error. Pretty sure I'm doing something...
I'm doing something wrong. My assumption was that the CVCX betting ramp optimizes for SCORE (based on some internet research). However, when I run a sim for 2 hands at TC 3+, the bet ramp looked...
He he, is this a joke ? This is not what we are talking about here, we are answering to Sundown about the profitability of trying to beat a 6:5 8 decks shoe.
A 3 years old could bet a CSM paying 6:5...
People who can see the hole card. Or the bottom card. Or the casino doesn't watch it because it's a "carnie game".
Those are all a lot more profitable than the "I'm gonna count, but I won't be...
Thanks for the info G Man. I look forward to your commentary on my posts. I do think Freightman is the truth as well. One day I'll have to figure out where you guys get all this math from, but right...
You get a BJ on average every 21 hands or close to 4 times per hour, say 100 hands.
If you flat bet $100 you'll get paid about $600 (3:2) instead of $480 (6:5)
On a game with 0.5% HE, where you are...
Thanks G Man. Someone once said "well how often do you get blackjack anyway? Although we get them, but not sure when we sit down and play we rely on them specifically. Had me thinking maybe we do...
It's beatable for pennies. Get real. Who wants to play a BJ game with a HE over 2% ? Those who like to write on open boards but barely set foot in a casino.
Generally speaking, you'll get more hours in if you're kind and have a positive attitude because it makes people like you. If the employees like you, they're less likely to scream "checks play" like...
1 to 15 spread won't beat 6:5 games out of a shoe. If it's an 8 decker with H17, you won't even get a positive SCORE with a spread that small. You're going to have to spread like 1-100 or back count...
Initial house advantage isn't as important with 6:5. It's more about pen, number of decks, and being able to spread a lot. You need at least two of these to be favorable to get an edge. If you get...
Thanks Moo321. I play KO with a True Count and that bad boy gets me the money in terms of 10s and Aces coming out the shoe when my count warrants max bet.
