Not only viable, but one of the best ways to make money playing blackjack. Just stand behind the table, try to blend in, count the cards. Don't "put on an act", just stand there and count.
So you entered the game when TC hit +1 then you played out the rest of the shoe. The former is good but the latter is bad. You should set an exit point like -2 or -3. Make an excuse to leave table...
Awesome! thank you so much for the advice, I noticed that it says you are from Minnesota, I am also located there. Any chance we could chat sometime? I'd love to pick your brain about the area and...
It all depends upon where you play. Some shops literally don't care. Some have no-midshoe entry. Some places have so few tables open that if you try to wong in you will never get a seat when the...
I am sure, that nearly everyone feels your pain, I know I do. Just a month ago I dropped $2.5k at a table playing for 5 hours and it seemed like every single hand I should have won, I didnt. The...
Not really. Was out of town recently with horrendous crap in the main area. I was away on a family issue and thought I could pick up 1 session of $25 or $50 min. They were absolute crap. Wasn’t...
I think you are making this a lot harder on yourself than it is. The correct RED 7 play for a 4-4 vs a dealers 5 or 6 is ALWAYS a split, basic strategy play. There is NO deviation play for RED 7...
If you think Casinos were cruel bastards who prayed on the weak of mind to take their money while giving them free alcohol and the illusion of a chance of winning... Starbucks is far worse.. The...
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...
At Starbucks right now. I think the numbers with the asterisk are meant to be utilized in reverse of the normal meaning. Right or wrong, I think page 259 is in error, likely around page 253 (hi lo...
need help...that on a on a 44 v6 for example, just hit at a ct. of -6, -5, -4 etc.? i read his "how to use the numbers in the table" and can't get it in my head. table is on page 259
Where DAS (double after split) is offered (on most if not all shoe games), double after split is proper on most 44 v 5;6 hands.
Wong’s Professional Blackjack around pages 250 and 275 - hi lo and...
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)
You should always use indices. GO with the indices calculated for the system you are using. If KO, they are in the book. Can't help you with any other systems.
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 &...
