Romania’s tax on gambling winnings is around 1% for most players, but it can go up to 16% for large winnings. This is pretty strictly enforced, so there’s not much way around it. Loss rebates aren’t...
Those seem like horribly low spreads unless you are playing pitch games or have very favorable rules. Your expectation might not even be positive. You'd need to define "fantastic".
Lowering your...
I'm looking for some thoughts from those more experienced than myself regarding bet spreads that would allow for longevity at local places. I have a couple local places (right next to each other)...
It's good you're smart, felt something was fishy, and had the courage to ask the question.
But casinos think the players are stupid, and they play with semantics to trick them. Just like when...
It was more than brutal - a 3 month torture of 60k. Fortunately, the year or 2 before, a 3 month odyssey easily exceeding.

I'm guessing people who search for this on google and get this result won't be serious blackjack players so I'll spell the trick out here.

Assuming you haven't spent your profits, reinvest your $5K into your $7K for a physical Bankroll of $12K and keep playing to your $20K replenshable bankroll. The more bank in hand, the better.

I am trying to reach the correct house edge of 0.42% to determine if I am simulating the playing strategy correctly or not. I am also simulating with counting.
I agree with you that redoubling 12...
You are not going to get a decent edge without counting. And with counting, I personally wouldn't bother with all the strange plays. The more cards in the hand, the less often the hand will occur....
